The Sultry Season: Make Up For Ever #49 Rouge Artist Lipstick
Make Up For Ever #49 Rouge Artist Lipstick ($19.00 for 0.12 oz.) is described as a satin blueberry, and though I would never have thought to use the word “blueberry” as a descriptor, it kind of is. It is very similar to the color of baked blueberries–very dark, a tinge blue, but veering on purple. This is a rich, intense shade–very vampy. I felt all, “I vant to suck your blooooood!” when I wore it, but it is sexy in a dark, sultry way. It is an opaque shade that goes on and feels a bit dry initially, but it’s not actually drying when you wear it for a few hours. The color clings and hugs lips and this shade gave me five hours of wear, plus a residual stain. It was scent- and taste-free.
Is this the right vamp for you? Would you wear it?
The Sultry Season is a series of posts featuring deep, rich shades of brown, berry, plum, and wine lipsticks and lipglosses — just right for autumn — that runs through October 2010.

major lust....
Hej, Christine, do you know any dupes for this one? I just LOVE this shade?! But in my country I can't buy MFE :( But I've been longing for this vampylike color! BTW; you have the most perfect shape of lips, the problem is you make me wanna buy each and every lipstick/lipgloss that I saw here :/
Hm, just saw a comment above; I'll check SEPHORA! But do tell if you remember any other dupes!
Try MAC Cyber! :) Thank you!
I was in Sephora yesterday and there is an exact dupe for this by Sephora brand. The color is bewitch me..only 12 bucks
Um I'll have two please!
I can't wait to try the dark lips for fall. In the 90's they were my staple.... but I think I'm going to have to veer away from the harshness of some lines and go for subtle.
this looks so ugly, looks like a colour for monsters , vampires, definitly won't work on people with fair skin
Completely disagree - this would be amazing on fair skin.
I think this would look fantastic with a clear gloss and some MAC reflects transparent teal glitter. I'd wear it. :)
This lipstick would look awesome for Halloween or a costume party! But for regular wear, not so much, sorry, if I offend you or anyone on here. >_<
omg, it really brings out the color of your eyes, like a warm honey brown, i like it alot
I love it! I love all MAKEUPFOREVER But what kind of look would you wear it with, like what on the eyes, cheeks. Recommendation? Thanks
I would do a very light eye - maybe just eyeliner, mascara, and a beige wash. For cheeks, a plum blush!
Ohhhhhh! May I have two please? I LOVE IT!
i love a good vampy color, but this is way too dark.
*drools* You got some white teeth, Christine! Seriously, with teeth like those you can pull off any shade of lipstick! Btw I was drooling over the lipstick, not the teeth. Just thought I'd mention. Yeah, I think I might buy it. The lipstick, not your teeth... You know what: it's time for me to stop typing and just go to bed.
LOL! The lipstick helps ;) It definitely helps my teeth look whiter!
So sexy and vampy! I don't know if I'm brave enough to wear it, but I sure do want it.
I don't think there is a color you can't wear! This is a crazy color and yet you look good in it:)
Aw, thank you, Melissa!
why is there no make up forever in austria?! do you think mac media is an alternative?
No idea :( Media is pretty close. Not quite as cool-toned, I'd say.
Wauw this is a deep color. I really like the color but I don't like it as a lipstick. It makes you look a bit pale. I really love the way you apply lipsticks, it's so precise!
I love it, I love it, I looooooove it!!! Yes, finally you have come to a season when you can review lovely colours! No more pinks, no more corals, no more china red... finally gothic make up! Loooooooooooooove it!!! ^^ ^^ ^^ It must be mine :-D
That colour looks great on you!
Thanks, Vanessa!
This reminds me of media by mac
Wow ! What a sexy color ! Perfect for fun photoshoots..my God it makes your eyes pop !
I am lusting for this lipstick!!!
I loooooove this.. and I can't stop staring at it, it looks so good on you. now I need to figure out what to wear it with :D
Thank you, Stacey M! I think just a cat eye would be amazing!
This is gorgeous.
This lipstick makes your teeth look really white!
Oh heeeeeeeelllllll yesssss. This is my kind of colour. :D
I really hate dark lipsticks unless they're black, but this one appeals to me for some reason.
I love the way these vampy lip colors look on other women, but I would not be able to pull it off at all.
Oh. My. God. Have to have this. I'm ditching this dinner party and getting in my car as we speak...
This looks like mac tribalist!
Ooooh, I want to marry this lipstick! I just got MAC Smoked Purple so I'm really into this type of color right now. I saw that Smoked Purple made the season list, so I'm excited and will wait (semi-)patiently to see how the two compare. This color is so rich. Love it!
Reminds me of MAC faultlessly.
i probably wouldn't wear this but that doesn't mean i don't think it's gorgeous. I can always appreciate a lovely & unique lipstick :)
not my style but it makes your teeth look very very white! =)
I love your lips. Every lipstick looks gorgeous on you!
Thank you, Christina! :)
i think the stain from this would look super, like the goth-y lips from the fall fashion shows :) maybe a picture of how it looks after awhile? ;)
Maybe, if I review the lipstick later on :)
hey christine, i was on the macpro site in the lipstick section and jazzed lipstick isn’t marked as a limited color. do you know if it’s part of the permanent line now?
I haven't heard anything.
I can't wait for the 140 swatches!!! I love the sultry season already!
