Dose of Colors Desi x Katy Aftermath & Hey Girl Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Aftermath
Dose of Colors Aftermath Desi x Katy Lipstick ($16.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a medium, copper-brown with warm undertones and a satin finish. It had opaque color coverage in a single layer, though the consistency was denser and firmer, so it tugged a bit during application but was workable–just not the creamiest or most comfortable to use. The lipstick felt lightweight on and didn’t feel drying while worn, which was a nice surprise. It wore well for five and a half hours.

Aftermath
LELimited Edition. $16.00.
Hey Girl
Dose of Colors Hey Girl Desi x Katy Lipstick ($16.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a medium-dark peach with soft, warm undertones and a satin finish. The pigmentation was good with full color coverage in one layer that applied evenly, though it separated slightly along m y lip lines (but wasn’t noticeable from a normal viewing distance). The lipstick was smooth, dense, and firmer, so it did tug on my lips while I applied it but not quite to the point where it was painful or difficult to apply. It lasted nicely for four and a half hours and was non-drying over time.

This is why you are brilliant and invaluable, Christine. The dupe of Maybelline Raw Chocolate is cheaper and more flattering for my fair skin than Aftermath- which i was tempted by- so ha!
So glad I could help, Tiffany!!
Aftermath is a beeeaaauuutiful color. I love lipsticks that find that perfect balance (for my complexion/preference) of brown and reddish tones. It’s such a tightrope!
Should have known I’d fall headlong for Aftermath from the first moment I saw it. Because, obviously I have a weakness for these type of shades, usually darker ones like MAC Paramount, for example. I’m not a fan of the draggy feeling during application that you described, though.
I really like Aftermath, although it may well be far too browny for a lot of people. Love your eye look Christine.
Thank you as always, Genevieve!
Aftermath is really pretty!
I’m so glad I waited for your review, as always! I was so tempted by aftermath, but I own several dupes so I definitely don’t need it! ?
