Chanel Ultraberry Rouge Allure Lip Colour
Chanel Ultraberry Rouge Allure Lip Colour

Chanel Ultraberry Allure Lip Colour ($37.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark reddish plum with subtle warm undertones and a luminous finish. It had semi-opaque color payoff, which applied evenly and smoothly, so it appeared almost like a stain as the translucency was even but there. The formula was lightly creamy without being heavy, emollient without sliding around easily. It lasted for five hours on me, left behind a slight stain, and was hydrating over time. MAC Party Line (P, $19.00) is darker, glossier (95% similar). Bite Beauty #084 (P, $18.00) is less shimmery, darker (95% similar).

Chanel Ultrarose Rouge Allure Lip Colour ($37.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a brighter, medium-dark coral-red with warm, orange undertones and a natural sheen. It had semi-opaque color coverage, and like Ultraberry, the translucency it had gave it a stained effect overall. The color was comfortable to wear, and it lasted for just over five hours on me. The formula was lightly hydrating as well. Shiseido Liaison (RD306) (DC, $28.00) is darker, more muted (95% similar). MAC Brave Red (LE, $30.00) is warmer (95% similar). Urban Decay Sheer F-Bomb (DC, $18.00) is darker (95% similar). Guerlain Red Bowtie (022) (P, $32.00) is lighter, brighter (95% similar). MAC Cockney (DC, $19.00) is brighter, glossier (95% similar). MAC Lady Bug (DC, $19.00) is darker (95% similar). Givenchy Rouge Atelier (302) (P, $36.00) is lighter (90% similar). MAC Moot Point (LE, $20.00) is darker (90% similar). Chanel Amant (DC, $34.00) is warmer (90% similar). Chanel La Bouleversante (51) (DC, $45.00) is darker, warmer (90% similar). Chanel Vivant (144) (P, $45.00) is cooler (90% similar). Smashbox LA Sunset (P, $21.00) is lighter (90% similar). Guerlain Poppy Cap (020) (P, $32.00) is lighter, brighter, warmer (90% similar). Guerlain Red Strass (327) (P, $37.00) is lighter, brighter, warmer (90% similar). Guerlain Rouge Sensuel (DC, $58.00) is warmer (90% similar).

I really like both of them, but I’ve achieved the same effect Ultraberry gives by just dabbing a dark red on my lips. Ultrarose though, don’t have anything like it in my collection, but MAC Ladybug is already on my list to try. So, I’ll try out the cheaper dupe first.

Hi Tosin,

This blog is for reviews on the product’s quality and is not focused on whether a shade looks good (or not) in terms of color. Ultimately, many choices about what colors look “good” are in the eye of the beholder. I have seen darker skin tones wear both of these types of colors, so I don’t see why either would not work on a darker skin tone.
