28 Bright Lip Color Swatches from MAC, YSL, MUFE, and Illamasqua
So I’ve been slacking on my swatching, ladies. Sorry! To me it’s much easier to tap out a post than it is to take pictures, but so many of you have asked so I must oblige.
Now even though I got a new camera, I still have no idea what I’m doing…lol. I also wish I had the time and patience to swatch these on my lips, but I did put in some effort—I put lotion on my arms for you guys! *crickets*
Anyway, onto the swatches…
Oh wait—one more thing. Swatching also helped me to realize that I do not need to buy any more lip color. At all. And that while I love bright colors, I wear more reds and berries than anything else.

Thanks for all the swatches, this helps because I know what a lipstick looks like before I buy it; since I now spend 80% of my time in the Virgin Islands & order all my stuff. When I head back to Brooklyn (woot, woot) next month I’ll definitely be checking out a MAC store for ‘Lady Danger’ & ‘Girl about town.’ & I have to check out Black radiance products, because I am very impressed with how it stands out with the rest.
The photos are bright & your picture taking skills definitely do justice to the swatches :)
Thanks for the feedback, Nesh!
Yay for Brooklyn and checking out new lipsticks! Yes—you do need to check out Black Radiance—they are awesome!
Thanks for applying lotion Danielle! LOL the swatches are great! Now i see that I don’t have to hunt down Style Curve since i already have Violetta. and YESSSSSS for Chanel Dragon! =)
LMAO—the quality of the swatches could have been tampered had I not put on lotion…lol
You have me sold on that YSL #18 and I keep seeing orange lips pop up so I may give the MAC Morange a try if it looks good on my NW 43 ish skin.
Try it and let me know what you think, Donielle :)

Great post!!!!(feel free to hand over any bright lipsticks you don’t want…lol) Maybe you can do a post on great lipliners to go with these bright lipsticks or nice nail polishes(like illamasqua) to match?
That’s a good idea, Taylor! I’ll get one worked up :)
Yay! I look forward to reading the post :-)
Thanks so much for posting this! I have been looking for bright colors and those MAC colors in the last picture and the YSL in the first are giving me fever! It seems to me like I will just have to take a few hours, visit a few counters, and figure out which ones go best with my skin tone!
You’re welcome, Erika!
Ok. You know I love you but I swear every time I visit your site I end up buying something. For now on, I’m only visiting on paydays.
LMAO! Thanks, Krissy!
@insomniaJONES I have a swatch on my site if you wanna see: http://bit.ly/ev76Jz
I’d like to know which colors you prefer, especially when you swatch colors that are similar. A swatch tells a lot but a valid opinion really puts me over the edge. Otherwise I end up with 3 lipsticks that are similar colors just because. Bad habits! lol With that said, I love that you did this girl! And don’t sleep on your photography skills!
Gotcha! I’ll try to remember that next time! Thanks :)
