Brunch Queen
LORAC Brunch Queen Alter Ego Lipstick ($18.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a light-medium lavender with cooler undertones and a cream finish. It had good pigmentation–though not opaque–that applied evenly across the lips. The consistency was creamy, smooth, and had moderate slip, which gave the finish some shine. There was a touch of color that pulled into my lip lines but was less than I would have expected given the texture and lightness of the color. It wore well for three and a half hours and was lightly hydrating.
The Alter Ego Lipstick formula is supposed to be “highly pigmented” and have a “satin finish.” For pastels, the I Love Brunch shades are surprisingly good–they did not sink into lip lines as badly as most pastel-hued lip colors do (especially given how much slip these had) and applied fairly evenly. They weren’t perfect, but they were better than I would have expected.

Foodie
LORAC Foodie Alter Ego Lipstick ($18.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a light-medium peachy-pink with warm undertones and a cream finish. The texture had moderate slip, so it had a glossier finish and had a tendency to pull into lip lines a bit. This shade was fairly even in its application, but there were “lines” wherever I pressed my lips together, so it was hard to keep it even in practice. It had good color payoff that lasted for two and a half hours on me, though it was moisturizing at least!

Barista
LORAC Barista Alter Ego Lipstick ($18.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a light-medium peach with warm undertones and a satin finish. This shade appeared lighter on my lips than swatched (or in the tube)–the white base seemed to come through more applied to my lips. It had good color coverage that went on fairly evenly (just a bit of noticeable lines along the edge of my lips) with very little settling. The texture had less slip than the other three shades, but it was still smooth and creamy going on. It wore well for three hours and was lightly hydrating.

Pastry Chef
LORAC Pastry Chef Alter Ego Lipstick ($18.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a bright, light-medium cotton candy pink with strong, blue undertones and a cream finish. It was nearly opaque, though you could see my lip freckle peeking through, and the color applied fairly evenly. The consistency was smooth with moderate slip, so while it did not tug on my lips, there was a little bit of product that pulled into my deeper lip lines. I will say that given how slippery the formula was, I was surprised it didn’t have more settling. The formula was comfortable to wear and lasted for three hours on me.
