Bite Beauty Opal Lip Gloss

Bite Beauty Opal Lip Gloss ($24.00 for 0.14 oz.) is described as an “ultraviolet” with an “opalescent shine.” It’s a very light, milky lavender-white base with lighter lavender and bluish-violet pearl. Marc Jacobs Beauty Pink Steam (322) (P, $28.00) is darker, warmer. Bite Beauty Four (Watercolor) (LE, ) is less shimmery, brighter, more pigmented. MAC Reckless Desire (LE, $15.00) is less shimmery. MAC Vacant (LE, $15.00) is more shimmery. See comparison swatches / compare dupes side-by-side.

The gloss is supposed to be “silky and nourishing” that can be “worn alone or on top of any lip color.” It had sheer coverage, and the milky quality of the base color tended to pull into lip lines for me, though the gloss itself seemed to go on evenly. The shimmer is noticeable when worn alone, and the gloss wore for almost three hours on me with light tackiness and had a sweet, fruity scent. I didn’t find the formula to be hydrating, but it wasn’t drying either. It worked applied over lipstick, but you have to be careful as it can cause the underlying lip color to pull into lip lines as well. For me, the effect of the gloss is subtler than the lipstick, and I didn’t like that it tended to lessen the performance of any lipstick I tried with it. When I layered the gloss over the coordinating lipstick, it added glossiness but didn’t seem to change much else to my eye.
