Fall Lips: Benefit Full-Finish Lipstick Review

Benefit Full-Finish Lipstick ($18.00) in Sassy Frass, No Competition, Flirt Alert, and Wild Card are our picks for the fall lip. Sassy Frass is a fun shimmery pink raspberry color, while No Competition is a creamy browned-down plum that’s quite subdued. Flirt Alert is a bright pop of orange-based red with subtle shimmer. Wild Card is a step down in boldness from Flirt Alert, being a browner red.
Full-Finish Lipstick is a creamy formula with nine opaque shades to choose from. This formula clings to lips well, and I find they fade naturally – I don’t get the dreaded lipstick ring afterward. I love creamy lipsticks, and I’m all about pigmentation, so of course, I was excited to test these out. I did find that Sassy Frass wasn’t quite as creamy as the other three I tried. I think that’s due in part to how much shimmer is in Sassy Frass compared to the others.
My favorite shade of the four I tried was No Competition, because it’s a nice mix of fall tones without being bold or dramatic. I also liked Wild Card for its everyday red color–at least my shade of everyday red! I know some of you ladies rock Russian Red on a daily basis 😉
See lip and skin swatches…

Sassy Frass is purty 🙂 i may have to pick that up!
It’s a nice color for fall for sure 🙂
Oooh Wild Card IS a great shade of everyday red – I think I may have to pick one up… and No Competition is really nice too…
🙂 Sometimes you just need something red that pops but not “OMG, look at my lips” pop, haha.
Wow these are gorgeous. No competition is my favorite too. I would have never thought these show up so good. I love it!
I know! They did a really job of truly making them full-finish and opaque.
No Competition certainly has no competition ! It looks amazing !! A very flattery shades for many types of skin tones I’d say.
Haha! 😉 I agree, it’s a very universal shade.
No Competition looks lovely. Hmm.. Sassy Frass reminds me of Sci Fi-Delity
I never try this brand but now, i want to try it, they look gorgeous =D
The lipsticks are wonderful 🙂
No competition is definitely my fave..
Sounds like it’s a winner for most 🙂
Christine no competition look very good also wild card
Yes, I agree, Classic! Both are nice shades 🙂
I have one of these new full-finish lipsticks and I really, really like the texture and color pay-off. They were designed for Benefit wearers who wanted more pigmentation and intensity (me!). I highly recommend them! They have gorgeous colors too.
Thanks for the review Christine!
Which one did you pick up, Shefali? I’m so glad Benefit decided to go beyond sheer!
benefit does a good job with lip products. wild card is gorge.
This is one of my first times really trying out Benefit lip colors, so I’m glad it went so well!
i love the silky finish versions of the lipsticks. i have candy store, rocket pop and my treat. i’ll definitely have to try out this finish
Me too! Which of the three colors you have do you think would suit me best?
Lovley all of them
Are you going to check any of them out, LocaLoli?
Sassy Frass is gorgeous!
It’s amazing how you can pull of pretty much everything! x
Thanks, girl 😉
What eye makeup should i use if i had wild card on??? 🙂 I have full lips, so the attention will definitely be on my lips 😛 😛
thanks!!!
Hmm, try a nude eye 🙂
I won two shades in the Cadbury’s Flake comp. I got Lala Land and Wild Card! Now I just have to wait for them to arrive.
Hi there, I’m a bit stuck because I’m not to sure what colour is Wild Card, is it more of a purplish colour or redish colour? And what kinds of skin tones would it suit? Please e-mail me because I’d really like t know!
Thanks,
Bex
It works well on cool skin tones – kind of a berry shade.
omg i love wildcard! It’s the perfect shade of red for me and i love the full-finish!
I’m an olive skinned girl with black hair and black eyes from south-east asia and the colour comes out a nice deep red against my skin. I wear it to work and on wrekends. It makes me look bright and happy! Love it!
