ILIA - Color Block Lipstick | Non-Toxic, Vegan, Cruelty-Free, Hydrating + Long Lasting, No Budge Color with Full Coverage (Rosette (Soft Pink With Cool Undertones), 0.14 oz | 4 g)

These lipsticks are HIGHLY pigmented.I've made a color chart over white paper in morning daylight, as the colors the company shows are very misleading. I really like this brand, and it has a pretty good staying power, especially when liner is used in tandem. Note: Rosewood is my go-to for Autumn coloring. Marsala is a close second. Wild Rose is a good Spring palate color. Cinnabar is very orange. (I bought the Amberlight to tone Cinnabar down, but it was very light, so it didn't help, and only made it brighter, like a melon color). On lips, the colors are lighter and brighter than you'd think!

I LOVE this lipstick. 💄Great quality and great color. If you're looking for a red-orange lipstick Flame is your color. You'd expect to pay more for a quality lipstick.

Beautiful, gorgeous color. Worth every penny. And the color stays on for a long time, and even when it gradually leaves after hours have passed, and you've eaten or drank water and done tons of thing, the color still stays on like as if you have lip tint. Love it!

I searched far and wide for a long-lasting cruelty-free, organic lipstick but that's almost a fruitless search.I landed on this one when I was about to give up.The color options are great, I chose amberlight. It's matte, but it does have a bit of a shine.Application:It's easy to apply, smooth on your lips, smells great and the lipstick holder is nice.Moisturizing:It really moisturizes my lips when it's on, and I also used it when my lips were chapped and it looked great!Long-lasting:It is long-lasting but it has a lot of transfer. When I apply it, I usually blot my lips on a tissue to help seal it.When you eat and drink it does give off a lot of product, but because of the strong pigments, it still lasts through the workday. When I get home it still looks like I'm wearing lipstick!This is a great choice for anyone looking for organic makeup options, or long-lasting lipstick!I also bought 100% Pure cocoa butter lipstick, it's supposed to be long-lasting and clean. I can't wait to try that one.

I just can't wear red lipstick. I'd love to but none ever worked for me. My skintone is pretty neutral with a bit of warmth and true reds, as well as tomato/orange reds, look awful on me. I feel I look like a little kid that broke into mommy's makeup bag and went to town. Then I found Clinique Buttershine lipstick in Apple Brandy. My perfect red! Even though it may not show up as a red on cooler or much warmer complexions, it looked great on me and was my evening or special occasion go to red lipstick. Then they discontinued it. Years ago. I have one half-used tube left that I use sparingly. It tastes bitter so I know it's way past it's expiration date but it's my only red.Youtubers, Color Class, suggested ILIA Rosewood, not specifically as a dupe but as a good red for my coloring. However, I think it's as close to the Buttershine Apple Brandy as I can get. The color on the left half of my lips is Apple Brandy and the color on the right half is ILIA Rosewood. The Apple Brandy is shinier as it's name implies but I feel I can always add some clear gloss to the Rosewood if need be. After wearing for a few hours the ILIA has much more staying power. But I'll give the Apple Brandy a break since it is a million years old, lol. Anyone who used to be a fan of the Apple Brandy shade in Clinique may want to give ILIA Rosewood a try as it may work for you too. It's a beautiful color and has not been drying to my lips.

With a name like Wild Rose (Ultimate Mauve), I thought I’d get a color with more purple color. However this is more earthy, with much more brown undertones than purple. I have warm skin and gray hair. Purple colors are great for the hair but don’t always look good on my skin; they can look harsh. So the added brown helps balance the competing tones.The Amberlight color is even more earthy and does not look nude on me, it looks like it's closer to the brown family of colors.I have sensitive lips and this is nice and moisturizing and is comfortable to wear. It’s not long lasting but that’s what happens when you get moisturizing formulas.

Went on in with a matt finish, stayed on well, but was not magenta, really. More like a pink tone. For someone with olive coloring, I have a difficult time finding the bold, gem colors that look good on me in non-toxic lipstick. Still, probably fine for someone with a more "peaches and cream" complexion.
