Anastasia Petal Lip Gloss ($16.00 for 0.16 fl. oz.) is a bright, medium-dark fuchsia pink with subtle, warm undertones and a cream finish. It was richly pigmented with mostly even coverage–there was a smidgen of visible streakiness along the outer edge of my lips that I couldn’t smooth out, but it wasn’t as noticeable due to the general brightness and richness of the color at a normal viewing distance. The color wore well for five hours on me and was moisturizing. Christian Louboutin Beaute Colibretta (P, $85.00) is more muted (90% similar). MAC Glam (LE, $21.00) is brighter (95% similar).

Anastasia Neon Apple Lip Gloss ($16.00 for 0.16 fl. oz.) is a bright, medium red with neutral-to-warm undertones and a cream finish. The pigmentation was great with nearly opaque color coverage, while the consistency was creamy and easy to spread across the lips. The only issue I had with this shade was that the consistency was thicker and “lines” were visible if I pressed my lips together. It wore well for just over five hours, though, and it was hydrating while worn. Christian Louboutin Beaute Altressa (P, $85.00) is lighter (95% similar).

Anastasia Punchy Red Lip Gloss ($16.00 for 0.16 fl. oz.) is a bright, medium-dark pinky-red with cool, blue undertones and a jelly-like finish. The consistency was more gel-like with this shade, and while it was semi-opaque in coverage, it had the translucency of a lip stain, where it was very even but still the natural lip color came through. This shade wore well for almost six hours and was hydrating over time. Guerlain Rouge Parade (920) (LE, $30.00) is more muted (95% similar).

Anastasia Runway Red Lip Gloss ($16.00 for 0.16 fl. oz.) is a bright, medium red with warm undertones and fine gold and red sparkle. It had semi-opaque color coverage that went very evenly and smoothly. The consistency was light-medium in weight, comfortable to wear, and mostly non-sticky, but this particular shade was very smoothing and made my lips appear plumper. It wore well for almost five hours and was moisturizing. MAC Ready to Roam (LE, $21.00) is darker (95% similar). Giorgio Armani #402 Red to Go (P, $38.00) is less shimmery (95% similar).

Formula Overview

Anastasia Lip Gloss ($16.00 for 0.16 fl. oz.) is supposed to be “opaque” with “high-shine” that’s “non-drying.” It is one of the more pigmented lipglosses out there that has a smoother, more cushion-y consistency that typically spreads well across the lips. Some shades gather in lip lines, and some shades apply streaky; it seems more common with lighter shades and milkier colors. The formula is non-sticky initially and develops slight tackiness over time. My experience from wearing the formula is that they are often lightly to moderately hydrating and wear three to five hours. They have a vanilla scent that isn’t too overpowering nor does it linger once applied (I notice it mostly in the tube).
