It had great color payoff with a lightly creamy, smooth consistency that applied well and went on evenly without tugging on the lips.

Bite Beauty Gingersnap Amuse Bouche Lipstick ($26.00 for 0.15 oz.) is described as a “fresh peach.” It’s a light-medium, peachy-coral with warm undertones and a satin finish. It had rich, opaque pigmentation with a light-medium thick consistency that was firm so it tugged a bit but there was enough give to the formula that it still yielded really even coverage–it just takes a little more pressure to apply (reminds me of applying a lipstick that’s been sitting in the cold in that way). It wore well for four and a half hours and was just a bit hydrating all in all. Tom Ford Beauty Misbehaved (49) (P, $57.00) is darker (95% similar).

Bite Beauty Fig Amuse Bouche Lipstick ($26.00 for 0.15 oz.) is described as a “nude rose.” It’s a light-medium, rosy pink with warm undertones and a satin finish. It had mostly opaque coverage that went on fairly evenly. The consistency was a little thinner and clingier compared to some of the other shades, and I noticed some of the color slipped into lip lines after two to three hours of wear.

Formula Overview

Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick ($26.00 for 0.15 oz.) is supposed to have “bold, creamy color” with “extreme moisture, soft texture, and creamy wear.” The majority of the range is very pigmented–typically opaque with one pass–with a few shades being semi-opaque but usually buildable. All 34 shades are shimmer-free and vary being a soft satin finish to a natural finish (light shine but not glossy). The consistency is very lightly creamy to lightly creamyu with some shades requiring light-medium pressure and can pull the lip a bit when gliding it across the lips, though the color doesn’t appear ragged and the bullet itself doesn’t feel stiff (while other shades applied without tugging, so check individual shade reviews!) The majority of the shades I’ve tested have been lightly hydrating to non-drying and fairly comfortable to wear for the long-haul. They wear longer than average, from four to eight hours, depending on the intensity and propensity of the shade to stain.

In comparison to the Luminous Creme formula: The level of color payoff and lemony scent are the two things that are similar, but they feel quite different on. If you have drier lips and need the intense hydration that the Luminous Creme formula offered, I don’t know if you’re going to like these. The Luminous Creme formula had a thicker consistency with a very creamy texture that glided on and never tugged at all, and the thicker consistency paired with the glossier finish was more forgiving on lips as it didn’t emphasize lines, natural texture, dryness, or flaking. Some had issues with the Luminous Creme formula bleeding/feathering and shorter-wear due to the amount of slip (high), and the Amuse Bouche formula has much, much less slip, so the wear is longer. I didn’t typically experience bleeding/feathering with the Luminous Creme formula, and that is also true with Amuse Bouche, but I would expect less with this more satin-finish formula for most (but not all). The scent seemed slightly stronger in the Amuse Bouche range, but it wasn’t noticeable after I was done applying the color.
