Bite Beauty Cortado/Latte Luminous Creme Lipstick Duo
Bite Beauty Cortado/Latte Luminous Creme Lipstick Duo ($14.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a dual-ended lipstick, so there is a lipstick shade on each side. This duo features a warm, rosy plum and a lighter, rosy brown. The duo is sold out online, though you may be able to find it in store still. Definitely making a mental note to cave on these earlier in the season for next holiday.
Cortado is a muted, medium rosy plum with warm undertones and a natural sheen. It had semi-opaque color coverage with a lightly creamy, lightweight consistency that applied well without feeling heavy or sliding around. It wore well for four hours on me and was nicely hydrating. Chanel Rose Violine (P, $37.00) is warmer, glossier (95% similar). Burberry Dark Rosewood (P, $34.00) is darker (95% similar). MAC Finally Free (LE, $19.00) is glossier (90% similar).

Bite Beauty Zin (DC, $24.00) is darker, brighter (90% similar). Clinique Black Honey (PiP, $15.00) is less pigmented, cooler (90% similar). MAC Craving (P, $19.00) is darker, cooler (85% similar). Dior Ultra Appeal (587) (P, $37.00) is less shimmery, lighter, warmer (85% similar). Top 20 dupes listed, see the rest. See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.
Latte is a muted, light-medium rosy peach-brown with warm undertones and a natural sheen. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that allowed the natural lip color to still come through. The texture was creamy, comfortable without being too slippery or thick. It lasted for four hours and was hydrating over time. MAC Fresh Brew (P, $19.00) is less pigmented, cooler (95% similar). Estee Lauder Naked Desire (P, $32.00) is darker (95% similar). Chanel Nude (P, $37.00) is cooler, glossier (95% similar). Laura Mercier Cinnful (P, $25.00) is darker, glossier (90% similar).

This was the only one that was sold out at my Sephora… and the only one I was truly looking for! I ended up getting Marmalade/Confection as a consolation. 😛
Awwwww! 🙁
At least you have Marmalade/Confection to BRIGHTEN! your day.
I love the warm tones in these – they both look beautiful on you! I need to try more neutral shades from Bite – I just looked and most of the ones I have are bold berry shades and/or cool toned. I’m definitely going to take a look at these!
Thank you, Angie! 🙂
Cortado is so pretty! I’m just going to get them all next year too! I found The Holly/ Tannin and Pomegante/Palamino duos in store near me over the weekend. Even better,- they are now $10 each! But, I didn’t see this one 🙁
Nice! I am glad you were at least able to pick up two in-store 😀
This would be a beautiful spring combo! And so classic, they need to make this one permanent
Oh, I am truly wanting this duo! I may need to go check local Sephoras around here! Cortado is beautiful, but I do have 2 easy dupes, but Latte looks like a super easy to wear nude even for my NC37-40 complexion! I hope I find it!
I like this duo, shame it’s sold out on Sephora, no stores here in the UK ?!
Wow, those colors both are great on you! I haven’t seen this set of colors at my Sephora, either.
Thank you, Kelly! Bummer that it’s not at your store, though 🙁
I was able to get the duo lipstick Fig/Date at Sephora as a VIB rouge exclusive offer. I would have loved to have tried this one. I loved the colors of Fig/Date, but unfortunately Bite’s lipsticks tend to be a little too soft and Date broke after only a few uses. I was so disappointed. I even blended the two colors together. They pair very nicely on my lips. Still, I would definitely like to try this color if it ever becomes available again.
I just bought this in my Sephora after reading this! It was the last one at the checkout line. I was hesitant because I think everything looks great on your medium skin tone, Christine (I am exponentially more pale), but I am so glad I did. Good way to expand into nudes which is not my comfort zone.
I was able to find these at the store today 🙂
YAYYYYY!
Awwww, Latte looks like the perfect MLBB shade on you 😉
Thank you for posting these (and the sneak peak swatches awhile ago), Christine! I was able to grab the last Cortado/Latte at my Sephora and I’m so glad I did – they’re perfect shades on me!
Phew 😀 I am glad I could help! 🙂
I like both of these. It’s OK that they are sold out bc I have too many lipsticks as it is. My lips are so dry bc of medications that I usually use Clinique balm anyway.
Good review and, as always, both look great on you.
I’m glad I was able to grab this duo! I love both shades, especially Cortado.
Awesome! Glad you were able to snag it.
I like Cortado but I think that Latte is too warm 🙁
I think this duo is my favorite. So pretty for everyday easy wear. I really like confection/marmalade too, they’re fun brights. Next year I hope they make one of the duos with a purple!
Figures,,the only duo that I love, never in stock here!!
Aww!
