Bite Beauty Souffle Amuse Bouche Lipstick ($26.00 for 0.15 oz.) is described as a “marshmallow pink.” It’s a pale pink with subtle, cool undertones and a satin finish. It had mostly opaque coverage, but it had some streakiness to it, so this one might be good to pair with a lip liner or primer. It doesn’t have a ton of slip, so it applied better than several other similarly-colored shades (from my experience). This shade lasted for four hours and was lightly hydrating. NARS Stourhead (LE, $25.00) is cooler (90% similar). MAC Playing Koi (LE, $19.00) is warmer (95% similar). LORAC Foodie (LE, $17.00) is cooler (95% similar).

Bite Beauty Sugarcane Amuse Bouche Lipstick ($26.00 for 0.15 oz.) is described as a “pale pink.” It’s a light, warm-toned pink with a satin finish. It had opaque color payoff with a lightweight, comfortable texture that was firmer and had a tendency to emphasize the texture of the lips, so you’ll want to exfoliate/prep lips for the smoothest finish. The lipstick wore for four hours on me and was neither hydrating nor drying. Marc Jacobs Beauty Sonic Truth (244) (P, $30.00) is lighter, warmer (95% similar). ColourPop Love Muffin (P, $7.00) is darker (90% similar). MAC Soft Savour (LE, $19.00) is darker, warmer (90% similar). Maybelline Peach Buff (P, $7.99) is darker (95% similar).

Bite Beauty Honeycomb Amuse Bouche Lipstick ($26.00 for 0.15 oz.) is described as a “beige nude.” It’s a light-medium, peachy beige with warm undertones and a soft shine. It had rich color payoff, but the consistency was a little thicker and heavier on the lips, and it pulled into lip lines from the get-go. This worsened over the four hours it lasted, though the thicker consistency allowed me to smooth the color back out for the most part by pressing my lips together. It was lightly hydrating over time. Marc Jacobs Beauty No Angel (242) (P, $30.00) is darker (90% similar). Makeup Geek Jetsetter (P, $12.00) is darker (90% similar).

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.
