Becca Tulip, Dune, Bare Ultimate Lipstick Love Reviews & Swatches
Tulip
Becca Tulip Ultimate Lipstick Love ($24.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a light-medium, pink-coral with subtle, warm undertones and a lightly shiny, cream finish. It had a smooth, lightly creamy texture that wasn’t too emollient or too slippery, so it was comfortable to apply but didn’t slide around while worn.
There was a bit of product that sank into my deeper lip lines, and it wasn’t as forgiving of lip texture as other shades in the range. It had good pigmentation in a single pass, which lasted well for four hours (and not the eight hours marketed!) while the formula was hydrating over time.

Formula Overview
$24.00/0.12 oz. - $200.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have an "ultra-creamy" texture with "eight-hour wear" and "pure color in one swipe." They're real bold with the "eight-hour wear" claim when it is a softer, creamier formula that's very comfortable to apply and to wear... and definitely not the longest-wearing formula I've come across--which is likely not a deal-breaker for those who aren't looking for long-wear.
The wear averaged between four and six hours with some of the deeper, richer shades (like a red or berry) lasting six hours or longer. They wore down evenly and were lightly to moderately hydrating while worn. The pigmentation was nearly opaque to opaque for most shades, and the majority of shades applied evenly and sat well on my lips without emphasizing my natural lip texture or settling into my lip lines.
They had a sweet, vanilla scent but no discernible taste.

Dune
Becca Dune Ultimate Lipstick Love ($24.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a muted, light-medium coral with strong, warm orange undertones and a luminous finish. It had nearly opaque color coverage that adhered well to my lips with a smooth, even lay down of product. The consistency felt lightweight, creamy but not too slippery, and comfortable to apply as it didn’t drag during application.
This type of color often settles noticeably in my lip lines, but there was only a hint visible in the close-up photos (not enough to be detectable in person). It wore well for four and a half hours and felt moisturizing over time.

Bare
Becca Bare Ultimate Lipstick Love ($24.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a light, pink-leaning coral with moderate, warm undertones and a natural sheen. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single, fluid stroke, which adhered evenly and smoothly to my lips without tugging during application.
The consistency was lightweight, creamy without being too slippery, and it didn’t emphasize my lip texture, though there was a smidgen of product that settled into my deeper lip lines. I didn’t detect the settling in person, just in the close-up photos while editing, which was impressive for this type of lighter hue. It stayed on nicely for four and a half hours and felt hydrating while worn.

Dune is my kind of shade for me to get away with wearing a light “nude” type tone without looking completely dead. I’d still need to use Nyx SLP in Earthtone, I’m pretty sure, but at least it looks juicy enough to not require a lipgloss.
I have Flame from a Sephora Favourites Bold lip pack I got for half price and I was really impressed with the formula, so Tulip is on my list of things to potentially get… I know these are a cream finish but to my inexperienced eye, it looks like some of them may have a super fine micro pearl in them? They look very luminous and I am here for it 🙂
I also, swear, that some have a bit of pearl – ultra-fine so not “shimmery” at a glance but luminous…….
Just here to say that I’m hoping that the Dune 2020 movie comes with a makeup collection
They are kinda very similar to each other….as light lipsticks go, I think I like Tulip the best. The ratings could be better for the price too.
