If you could create your own lipstick or lipgloss right now, what would you create?

A medium, pink-coral with gold and copper pearl shimmer with a satiny finish and full color coverage. Like Guerlain Gems (LE) but a touch lighter with more pink in the actual base color. OR recreate Chanel’s Dragon Rouge Allure Laque with more of a satin finish.
Thanks to reader CeeBee for today’s question idea Do you have a question idea? Submit yours here.
A matte gray-based light lavender. Like LimeCrime Chinchilla but matte and without the rudeness and so-so formula.
Have you checked out the NYX Macaron lipsticks? There is a pale lavendar in the line that may be what you’re looking for,
It’s not really matte though :/
An exact dupe of NARS Strawberry Fields!
A Violet shade in the formulation of Bite’s BB for lips. I worship those!
Dark blood red! I’ve got a dark red berry and a medium blood red but I want it to be a dark blue red, not burgund
The perfect nude (for me). I can never seem to find the right tone, level of pigment, or matte/shine.
A matte neon cyan. I have never seen a cyan lipstick. 🙁
Funny, I was thinking about this today. I’d choose a medium-bright pink-red with a subtle violet shift or undertone. Very clear and saturated. Bold without being traffic-stopping.
That sounds divine. I’d buy it!
I’ve said this before, but I would love something like Mac Nymphette in the Bobbi Brown High Shimmer Lipgloss formula. Would probably be holy grail lipgloss for me.
A vivid raspberry rose with cool lilacky undertones – liquid lipstick formula, super duper pigmented cream finish that also stains and lasts for ages. Kind of like if you mixed OCC lip tars in Strumpet, Lydia and Rollergirl…
A cool toned pastel lavender lipstick with mac’s amplified creme finish. It would be lightly hydrating, non drying, and long wearing.
As much as I love the colour of Dragon, it can look a bit heavy on me and I prefer a solid lipstick- so maybe something like a Rouge G or Coco Rouge formula, although I bet it would look amazing in the new NARS Audacious formula 😀
I’d create a Range of my lips but better shades, its so hard to find my personal shade.
I’d probably go for a semi-opaque pink-red with gold, copper, and red shimmer/sparkles.
I’d create a lipstick. Definitely something coral. Coral pink or coral red, or maybe a peachy coral, not sure. And creamy. With a soft sheen. And it has to be very moisturizing so I can wear it without lip balm.
Anyone remember MAC Alibi? I would recreate that exact same color, but with a moisturizing, sheer finish that could be built into semi opaque coverage.
ur lip gloss sounds fantastic!
Lipstick wise, I would make my perfect everyday pink. Something that brightens up my face without demanding attention, and that’s also moisturizing and long lasting.
For Lipgloss, I would make one that acts like topcoat does for nail polish. Adds shine, locks in moisture, and keeps lipstick from fading, transferring, or migrating.
Simple for me – I’d create both Plumful and Lustering (from MAC) in formulas that lasted for hours and hours but still felt moist on the lips.
I would create a lipstick that doesn’t bleed or budge. Even through eating! I hate having to touch up my lipstick throughout the night!
Oh my soul, the perfect brown nude!
Mine would be a rosy-nude-my-lips-but-better color. Finish would be something like the Milani Colorstatement Lipsticks because I find that’s the perfect consistency for me – hydrating without being overly glossy. 🙂
A lipgloss version of “Space Cadet” (that was more or less what I was expecting from the MAC Grunge collection, but the formula sucked and the products never arrived to my country anyway). Also, a redder, cooler, even golder version of MAC’s “Hellbound”.
A shimmery, almost metallic raspberry, like a lipstick version of NARS Boogie Nights gloss, which I guess is discontinued. Or a satiny greyed mauve/taupe/plum (nude for me), like MAC’s Vista (also discontinued) but with a touch more plum.
I finally found the lipgloss I always wanted in MAC Pedro Lourenco Gold Mirror. Prior to that color, I’d purchased about 10 lipsticks and lip glosses looking for that color. Unfortunately, I missed out on it since it was LE. So, I will be a MAC stalker hoping for a re-release.
A deep red, with just a touch of grey/brown, almost like blood when it begins to dry. Manic Panic did one years ago, called Blood Red, but I haven’t been able to find another.
The Ruby Woo shade in a better formula!
A full lipstick made out of the same formula MAC uses for their Cremestick lipliners.
If you search Emma Roberts at the Dior Fashion Show in 2013: I’ve been looking for the perfect, rosey-your-lips-but-better shade. And one that’s just enough of a gloss but not too shiny.
A very dark, almost black, deep red that’s also a not-too-dry matte. I’ve seen a few lipsticks that are ALMOST as dark as I’d like, but none quite fit the bill and also have a texture I like.
I wear Max Factor Moisture Rich Creme Rouge 537 with Mary Kay’s Intensity Controller (pale shimmery gold) over it that gets tons compliments every time I wear it. It’s the perfect red for me. I’d love a single lipstick that replicates the resulting color, which the Max Factor creamy texture, and would be very long-wearing.
For lipgloss, a shimmery “my lips but better” dusky pink that wasn’t super-sticky or overly-scented.
* with the Max Factor creamy texture
Sorry for not proofreading. *blush*
A vampy one in a liquid to matte formula.
It woulde be like if my all time favorite Vampira Everlasting Liquid Lipstick and MAC Rebel Lipstick have a baby, and it will be my child/my own lipstick: GLAM LUD hahahahhaa
Well, OCC basically did it recently with Technopagan, so now I’ll have to thinkn of something else, LOL!
Hm…perhaps the absolutely perfect muted deep pink? With a little bit of sparkle for dimension? Usually the pretty deep/muted pinks are sparkle free…
That’s easy! One that would last through the first cup of coffee!
Something I call “red, but not red” – the muted, well, red shade, but apropriate to wear with simple eye make-up everywhere. MAC’s See Sheer, Retro or Brick-O-la are close. So is Maybelline’s Hollywood Red. But I need more those kinds of lipstick in my life, because I just love that effect!
I would create a Nars Orgasm lipstick. They have the blush, the polish, the lipgloss but I think an actual lipstick would be beautiful!!!
I would recreate:
• Chanel Dragon Rouge Allure Laque but slightly bluer & teeny bit more pronounced shimmer;
• More hydrating & better texture/formula of MUFE #4 Rouge Artist Intense (basically an exact color but in Burberry Lip Velvet formulation);
• Cooler version of Hourglass Siren Extreme Sheen Lipgloss (I’ll probably mix my Hourglass Siren & OCC Technopagan when I get my Technopagan);
• An exact recreation of Chanel Stunt Rouge Allure Laque; and
• Permanent line of M·A·C Mattene & Kissable Lipcolour!
I would love an ultra moisturizing, satin, made for me, nude. My lips but way better. Not the usual, died last week beige or brown.
a light orange (not coral) cream that would match my complexion.
I would create a combo I mix a lot, a red based pink with A peach colour just so it isn’t ‘in your face bright’ a colour that stands as a mix, bec you cant point out the exact shade.
I would love to have a creamy neutral with just a touch of shimmer. The “your lips but better” look in a richer color that would not end up looking bland like so many of the Bobbi Brown lip colors. I might be wanting the impossible, but it would be great if it could be worn by most skin tones during the day and jazzed up the a gold or silvery lip gloss for night.
I think we need to get a petition going to Guerlain to bring back Gems!! Its such a beautiful colour. (Have you ever tried YSL Melon D’or #59 ?- its a bit lighter than gems and is pretty on its own but over a pink or coral lipstick, its divine. )
A duplicate of Mac Honeyflower lipstick.
Prismatic Purple by YSL.
The first thing that pops into my head is the perfect MLBB for me – not very original!!
I would make a true, opaque black with noticeable silver sparkle. Think the formula of MAC Cremesheen glasses with the sparkle of the Dazzleglass formula. Ugh I would DIE. I’m sick of mixing eyeshadow into clear gloss to get a glossy black lip! 😀
A VELVETY MATTE VERSION OF LE METIER DE BEAUTE IN THE KNOW BORDEAUX!
I have looked EVERYWHERE for that particular shade of red and I can’t find it anywhere! Its my power red, its just its in a lipgloss form, and I don’t like glossy finishes. T__T
MAC’s Pervette lipstick in lipgloss form. I love the blue undertones and can’t find it anywhere!!
