Lipstick Queen Have Paris, Play It, See Me Silver Screen Lipstick
Lipstick Queen Have Paris Silver Screen Lipstick
Lipstick Queen Silver Screen Lipstick ($50.00 for 0.12 oz.) is supposed to be pigmented, hydrating, long-wearing, and have a “wet-look” for finish. They’re fairly pigmented, wear long, feel somewhat hydrating, and have a glossy (or wet) finish. The consistency of the lipsticks is thin, and they don’t feel stiff when applied, but they almost need to “melt” a little to glide on really nicely. They are mint-scented but don’t have a noticeable minty tingle except for the first couple of minutes of wear.
Lipstick Queen Play It Silver Screen Lipstick ($50.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a brightened fuchsia pink with cool, blue undertones and a glossy shine. It had semi-opaque color coverage that went on fairly evenly–it appears almost like a stain with the translucency it has. The color wore well for five hours and felt hydrating. Bite Beauty Framboise (P, $24.00) is lighter, more matte. MAC Catharina (P, $23.00) is darker. Guerlain Very Pink (360) (P, $37.00) is similar. Too Faced Melted Candy (P, $21.00) is brighter. MAC Red Balloon (LE, $16.00) is lighter. Estee Lauder Dominant (P, $30.00) is darker, cooler-toned. MAC Feeling Amorous? (LE, $20.00) is lighter. Revlon Whimsical (115) (P, $8.99) is sheerer. MAC Lickable (P, $16.00) is cooler-toned. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
Lipstick Queen Have Paris Silver Screen Lipstick ($50.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a warm-toned, coral-red with a glossy sheen. It had mostly opaque pigmentation, and again, this one almost looks a bit like a stain. The consistency was less creamy compared the other two shades I tried. This shade lasted for five hours on me and was slightly hydrating. Guerlain Rouge Kiss (325) (P, $37.00) is lighter. MAC Fashion Trip (LE, $22.00) is more orange. Bite Beauty Grandifolia (LE, $28.00) is brighter, darker. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
Lipstick Queen See Me Silver Screen Lipstick ($50.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a lightened, peachy-orange with warm undertones and a glossy sheen. It had opaque color coverage–surprisingly more pigmented than the other two!–and had a creamier, easier-to-apply texture. The color lasted for four and a half hours and was nicely hydrating. MAC Style Approved (LE, $22.00) is darker, less glossy. Tom Ford Beauty Sweet Spot (05) (LE, $49.00) is pinker. Givenchy Mandarine Bolero (304) (P, $36.00) is darker, redder. MAC Sweet Grenadine (LE, $17.00) is darker. MAC Sushi Kiss (P, $16.00) is more matte. See comparison swatches / view dupes.

I can’t pay $50 for lipstick unless Christine gives it at least an A.
I wish they felt more luxurious on!
Agree! 50 bucks is a ridiculous amount and would only pay it, as I have, if the product feels and looks luxurious. And tjough these are cute, don’t seem as unique or luxe to me. And to top it, Christine is givimg them a B or so… So no…
Love the look of these! See Me looks really cute on you.
Thank you!
I really like Have Paris!
Yay!!
$50 seems…. unfair. The colors look really dupable, and if they don’t feel like quality lipsticks, why would we pay the price?
I think the hardest part for me is knowing that she makes lipsticks for $24.
If she makes them for 24, why is she selling for 50? Is 24 the price of her regular lipsticks?
$24 is the price of other lipsticks she makes, but she has a “luxury” formula that is $50.
I totally agree with the other reader – for $ 50, it needs to be an A rating
Oh, definitely!
Hey Christine, while I like these shades on you, I think I’ll pass! I saw these in real life recently, and already I knew the packaging bothers me s little too much (I don’t think the base makes it easy to hold). If they can’t get an A from you at this price point, I don’t think I’ll end up liking them, either.
I think it’s the consistency that throws them off for me – should glide on more readily.
The colors are beautiful but the formula doesn’t seem to match the price. For $50 I want something a little thicker with more pigmentation.
I was surprised that they weren’t quite as pigmented as described!
See Me is gorgeous….but no way I’m paying $50 for a single lipstick!
Totally understand!
They are all very pretty. I’m always drawn to the cooler tones, so I’m very tempted by Have Paris, but, I’ll not buy such an expensive lipstick unless it gets an A, or even A+
They miss for me at this price point 🙁
These remind me of that MAC play land or toy land whatever it was collection…the bright eye liners, lipsticks and whatever else earlier this year. Pretty but summery (so I say in 75+ degree weather). As I say often, that $50 price point is a tough hurdle for me…
I can definitely see a summery vibe!
Christine, do you possibly have “Have Paris” and “Play It” reversed? I looked on Lipstick Queen’s website and the descriptions and swatches show “Play It” as the hot pink and “Have Paris” as the red. They all look great on you!
Thank you so much, Eliz! You are correct. I have fixed everything. I am SO, SO sorry! Inexcusable.
It’s truly no worries. You do such an amazing job with all of your reviews and are the absolute cream of the crop. Truly.
You are very kind!
I drooled at Have Paris for a bit, then I realized that I already have three of the dupes. I’m probably good for blue-toned fuchsia pinks for a while…
Yayy!!
Oh, I love the look of the packaging for the Silver Screen line, but not sure my wallet can handle it. For that price, they should be A rating quality
I feel like other luxury formulas are better, overall, and even high-end at $30-35.
Beautiful colors (love that fuchsia), but not paying $50 for a lipstick, etc. 😉
Dupable, at least 🙂
These look very pretty, although pricey. See Me is surprisingly flattering; I thought it would have looked more chalky, I’m glad it didn’t! I would love to see more reviews on the Lipstick Queen brand.
See Me was really nice – a pleasant surprise!
Hey Christine, See Me looks super pretty on you. Something about the shade on you…
Thank you! 🙂
Love the packaging, not the product.
Your wallet is probably safe then 😀
Her lipsticks seem to be getting quite pricey..
Somehow, Guerlain manages to have a $54 and $36 range, but perhaps because Rouge G was their almost-only line for so long, that the introduction of more $35-ish ones was welcome vs. your normal price point being $24 and then doubling at $50 for a few lines.
I really like her regular lipsticks & still have a few from a while bk but when I see the new ones & then the price point.. I just don’t get that ooh I need that feeling, like alot of people get when they see a Tom Ford lipstick or how I feel about Givency lipstick & Guerlain products.
I love Lipstick Queen’s $24-$30-something lipsticks. I love Hello Sailor, Endless Summer line, and the new Ice Queen. But I’ve tried Velvet Rope and Silver Screen, and these just aren’t $50 lipsticks. I’d rather buy Guerlain Rouge G lipsticks at $50–lipsticks that actually feel worth the $50.
I hear ya, Benni! For this type of finish (glossy), I’d definitely go Rouge G.
I really like Play It, but $50 is pricey for a shade than can be duped.
It should be nearly A+!
I’m kind of surprised at the rating, given that the luxury matte line is excellent and worth the $50 price tag to me. With all the competition on the market, including her lower priced line, I don’t see this faring particularly well.
That’s good to know!
This is the first time I’ve heard of this brand, I wonder why…is this a common brand? What is it known for?
Lipstick 🙂
I’d be interested to see if you felt the Velvet Rope lippies were a better range than the Silver Screen ones, given they’re the same pricepoint but a different formula.
Sorry, I don’t have those!
Hmm, these are pretty, but I don’t know if they’re $50’s worth of pretty. Maybe because I already have so many pinks and corals… Think I’ll hold out for Stella! if you’re planning on reviewing that one!
I only received these three, sorry!
I like her regular lipsticks & have often recommended them, but these I don’t see it. I think if the colors were more unique & not so “I own it already” or “I don’t like that color on me”, I still wouldn’t pay $50…but I’d desire to. Lol
The “problem” is almost her regular line at $24 and such is good, so then to double price, within the same brand, it’s hard to justify!
wow I really really like the finish on these!
I like the glossiness, too!
For lipsticks that are $50, I expected the packaging to be a bit more luxurious because these just make me think of a semi-fancier adaptation of Maybelline’s. The colors of Play It and Have Paris are fetching but I’d just as sooner by Guerlain’s KissKiss lipsticks in Very Pink and Rouge Kiss before even paying either one of them mind for the packaging alone. The colors do look awesome on you though, Christine. It’s as though you can pull off any color. So jealous!
Thanks, Whitney! 🙂 I think Guerlain’s formula feels more “luxurious.”
I’ve seen Lipstick Queen lipsticks in magazines but I’ve never seen them in a store before. As far as I’m concerned, this is a drugstore brand. Cute packaging, but not $50 worth of cute.
It’s an interesting move to price most of your range at $24 or so for years, and then put out a few shades in $50 formulas.
I was hoping that these lipsticks would have performed better given the high price tag. Oh well, at least my back account can breathe a sigh of relief!
Phew!!
I’ve never used an orange lipstick and I never thought that I could try. SEE ME will be the first one!
See Me is a nice color! I wish there were more dupes for it!
I agree with the others. I love Lipstick Queen’s lipsticks but doubling the price and calling this the “luxury” formula – doesn’t sit well with me. That being said, her Sinner formula are fantastic mattes for $24. 🙂
What are your favorite shades from the Sinner range?
Hm… these look quite nice, actually, but I’m distracted by the fact that I think there’s a shimmery purple in this line, and it’s not here, LOL! 😛
They all look nice on you, as always 🙂 My pick for me would be Have Paris, but I think See Me looks particularly nice on you!
There is! I heard it is sheerer, but I’m not sure.
