Bobbi Brown Luxe Lip Color
Bobbi Brown Luxe Lip Color

Bobbi Brown Bellini Luxe Lip Color ($35.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium, coral-orange with warm undertones and a creamy finish with a light sheen. It had rich, opaque pigmentation with a lightweight, very creamy texture that glided on without tugging on the lips, but it had enough slip that I had trouble with some of the color gathering in lip lines over time. It was comfortable to wear, as the formula was hydrating, over the five hours it lasted. Bobbi Brown Plaza Peach (P, $40.00) is lighter, warmer (95% similar).

Bobbi Brown Uber Beige Luxe Lip Color ($35.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium brown with subtle warm, rosy undertones and a creamy finish. The consistency was lightweight, creamy, and felt hydrating on the lips. This shade was richly pigmented and covered the lips with smooth, even color. After two hours of wear, some color slid into my lip lines, though I could press my lips to smooth everything back into place. The color wore well for close to four and a half hours on me. MAC Well Bred Brown (DC, $21.00) is lighter (95% similar). Marc Jacobs Beauty No Angel (242) (P, $30.00) is less glossy (95% similar). Urban Decay Abstract (LE, $18.00) is lighter (90% similar).

Bobbi Brown Bond Luxe Lip Color ($35.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a deep, muted plum with subtle, warm undertones and a lightly glossy, cream finish. The texture was smooth, lightly creamy, a little thicker overall than the other two shades, which I think helped it fill in lip lines without emphasizing them. The lipstick had opaque color payoff that applied evenly, and the formula was moisturizing over the six hours it lasted for. There was a faint purplish stain left behind. MAC Viva Glam III (P, $19.00) is darker (90% similar). Jaclyn Cosmetics Control Freak (DC, $18.00) is lighter (90% similar). Urban Decay Mosh Pit (DC, $18.00) is darker, cooler (90% similar).

ColourPop Mystic (PiP, $7.00) is darker, brighter (85% similar). Shiseido Rouge Rum Punch (RD504) (DC, $28.00) is lighter (85% similar). Bobbi Brown Uber Rose (DC, $37.00) is lighter (85% similar). ColourPop TooLips (P, $7.00) is warmer (80% similar). Bite Beauty Infuse (DC, $24.00) is brighter, warmer (80% similar). MAC Hot Chocolate (LE, $19.00) is lighter, less glossy (80% similar).

Formula Overview

Bobbi Brown Luxe Lip Color ($35.00 for 0.12 oz.) is supposed to have one-stroke color coverage with a hydrating, smoothing formula, and “nourishing shine.” I was impressed with the formula as a whole, as the majority of the shades were very pigmented in one pass with a creamy consistency that glided on easily. There’s a richness to the texture that does feel more “luxe” in a way. The natural-to-luminous shine level gives lips a smoother, plumper look, while the formula itself is hydrating and many shades are longer-wearing. I noticed that the lighter shades tended to perform more poorly relative to more light-medium to medium-dark-hued shades. There was a faint floral scent (that was a surprise, I wish they had gone the unscented!), but I didn’t have issues with taste and found it very subtle on (it’s no Dior/Chanel-level scent!). In general, I like Bobbi Brown’s lipstick formulas, and this one feels creamier and more hydrating than others, but for pigmentation, you can’t go wrong with this or the Rich Lip Color formula.

I have one Bobbi Brown lipstick (Your Majesty) and I love it! Bond is now on the must buy list. I’ve been eyeing it ever since I saw the initial swatch, and there are no close dupes. I love a muted plum for fall/winter

I’m a big fan of Bobbi Brown lipsticks and especially the Luxe formula. I have a number of medium to dark shades and love over them. Recently picked up Hisbiscus along with the Telluride highlighter and it is a “wow” shade on me. I’ve purchased lipsticks across Bobbi Brown’s range and feel her lipsticks are a strong aspect of her brand. The luxe line kicks her brand up a notch, for sure.
