Makeup Geek Lively, Risque, Saucy Iconic Lipsticks

Lively

Makeup Geek Lively Iconic Lipstick ($15.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a medium-dark plum with cool undertones and a matte finish. It had good pigmentation, though not quite opaque, that covered the lips with even, smooth color. The consistency had a velvety feel to it, where it was creamy without feeling wet, and glided across the lips without tugging or dragging. This shade wore well for five hours and was a touch drying.

Risque

Makeup Geek Risque Iconic Lipstick ($15.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a deep burgundy with warm, red undertones and a mostly matte finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that covered fairly evenly, but I did notice some of the color gathered in my deeper lip lines. The texture was somewhat smooth but deposited small grains of color for the first two uses, while subsequent swipes of the color seemed smoother and better mixed. On me, it was lightly drying over the six hours it lasted.

Saucy

Makeup Geek Saucy Iconic Lipstick ($15.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a deep, rusty copper with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had a really smooth, creamy consistency that wasn’t thick but wasn’t too thin either, so it did not feel clingy or sink easily into my lip lines. It had rich, opaque color payoff that went on evenly. This shade lasted for six hours and was neither drying nor hydrating.
