MAC Style Warrior Lip Swatches
Purple Rite Lipstick
MAC Style Warrior Lip Swatches! 🙂
Here’s a little run down about how they apply/opacity on the shades first…
- Purple Rite is semi-sheer, provides decent color to lips. Frosty finish.
- Sunsational is a sheer, shimmery peachy-gold. It’s not designed to give you a lot of color.
- Tribalist is a creamy, opaque color. Very deep and better to apply via a lip brush (I did not, as I do these as fast as humanly possible).
- Brave New Bronze is a creamy, opaque color. Will probably lean peach or pink, depending on your skin tones, but it is more peach than pink.
- Liberated is sheer, gold shimmer.
- Fierce & Fabulous is semi-sheer, providing lips with noticeable color.
- Gold Rebel is sheer, peachy-gold shimmer. Like Liberated, but more peach/orange.
- Style Warrior is a semi-sheer, providing lips with noticeable color/darkening. Try it over Tribalist or any red lipstick to see a cool effect. Really — it’s more wearable than you think.
Now, onto the lip swatches!

Thanks, Natalie! I believe so!
Tribalist is hawt on you!
I definitely agree!
Thanks, Becca!
Very, very pretty! I can’t wait to get my hands on these!:)
Which ones do you want, Sara?
These are beautiful. Could we possibly see swatches with lipstick/lipglass combos?
I second that!
I third this!
I FOURTH THIS! haha
I already posted a few, thanks!
oh, i love these. i can’t wait to try these out. A very nice collection, imo. thanks so much christine!
No prob, Reesa!
I am loving Sunsational. Gorgeous color!
Glad ya like it, Megan!
Christine is the coolest! You think Fanfare could be a dupe for Brave New Bronze?
Fanfare is a bit more coral/peachy, I think. Brighter? Similar but not the same!
after these swatches, i still feel like brave new bronze & purple rite are going to be the lippies i want the most. hopefully i’m just as impressed when i see them in person. thanks so much christine!!!
I am hoping you are just as impressed as I am, Nicole! Or more 😀
I’ll definitely get Purple Rite and Gold rebel, and possibly Sunsational and Fierce & fabulous too. The others are a either too dark or too blah. Thanks for the swatches.
No prob, Anitacska 🙂
I kind of want liberated but I think I’ll probably end up passing on everything in this collection.
Aww!
Ooooh Tribalist!
Sunsational is pretty too!
Think you’ll get Tribalist?!
i love Sunsational Lipstick
Liberated Lipglass
Fierce & Fabulous Lipglass
gold rebel lipglass
Good list, Brenda!
I am loving the Purple Rite but purple scares me…..It is really purple in real life?? I normaly wear Creme Cup, Syrup, Fabby….I am nw20/25 would it be flattering on me?
i think it will loook awesome with fierce and fabulous on top, same goe3s with tribalist l/s and style warriors l/g
Agreed 😀
It’s not that purple, IMO, it’s quite wearable, really. I think it would be. If you wear Syrup and Fabby, I think you can wear this.
So pretty!
Which ones are your fave, Love?
you are teasing me with that brave new bronze lipstick!!!!!!!!
LOL!
Hm, Brave New Bronze just doesn’t say anything to me… =/ Sunsational looks gorgeous though. I think I’m just gonna have to go in and swatch everything.
Aww! I really like it. It’s just so everyday and wearable. I even bought a backup, LOL!
I LOVE the tribalist lipstick. I am SO gonna buy it
YAY! You gotta take pics, Maria ;D
Sunsational is going to look gorgeousssss!!
It is!
thanks for posting these christine!
i’m looking forward to seeing them in the uk…
do you have any faves so far? purple rite looks really good on you! (though so do pretty much all the colours…lol! guess i’m partial to purple…)
My pleasure, Aradhana 🙂
I love Brave New Bronze! That’s my favorite. I also like Sunsational and Purple Rite. The lipglassees are pretty, but nothing super super amazing. Perhaps Liberated, but I love me some gold.
I was passing through my Nordie’s today when I saw the displays for Style Warrior already out. I stopped by and the MA talked to me about all of the products and told me that they are taking pre-orders now and it will be launched next Wednesday, the 20th. The early launch had something to do with a sale at the store. Anyway, I tried on and preordered Purple Rite l/s, Fierce & Fabulous l/g, On a Mission blush and Pink Rebel Lustre Drops. I saw some other things I liked too and may pick up when I get the rest next Wed., like the Solar Riche bronzer and at least one e/s. The packaging is great!
Very nice! Glad you were able to check it out in person, JillyB!
Even though I liked the sample Purple Rite better, I’m gonna pick it up. I like them all, great lippies!
Yay! I hope you like it when you get it, Cloudburst!
I’m gonna go broke when these come out! They all look so beautiful!
LOL! At least you’ll look beautiful broke!
Thanks so much for the swatches Christine! It’s very helpful.
Still want Sunsational & Purple Rite l/s. But I’m passing on the Gold Rebel l/g
Happy to be of some help, Mikki!
Aww, passing on Gold Rebel? How come?
Beside Style Warrior, those lipglasses are so sheer. Eww…
Sometimes sheer can be good 🙂 Not always, but sometimes! Just depends on what you’re looking for.
Christine, is Liberated or Gold Rebel a dupe for She Gold?
Gold Rebel, no. Liberated, kind of. She Gold was more golden toned than yellow.
did we ever find out what the models were wearing?
Nope :/
Hi everyone! Can someone PLEASE tell me the finish to Purple Rite & even the rest of the lipsticks? (Lustre, Amp Creme etc…) But I’m dying to know Purple Rite’s. I’ve been wanting to venture into a purple lip!
I’m almost positive that Purple Rite is a frost. And I know for sure that Tribalist is a Amplified Creme. Not too sure about the other two..I would guess that Sunsational is just a frost as well or a glaze. I would guess that Brave New Bronze is a lustre..that’s what it looks like to me.
Purple Rite is a frost, Tribalist is an amplified creme, Brave New Bronze is a satin, and Sunsational is a glaze.
Sunsational is SO cute. And I am in love with Purple Rite! I’m not too sure how Brave New Bronze would look on me, and I have a revlon lipstick that looks justttt like Tribalist [THANK GOODNESS FOR MY WALLET!]
I hope you give Brave New Bronze a swatch and like it, Aubree!
I`m thinking Style Warrior would look even cooler if you put Sunsational under it. Could you show us all the lipstick/lipglass combos?
Sorry, but I can’t show you all of the combos since there are so many possibilities!
hi christine,
im a nc 40 and was wondering if i could pull off brave new bronze.. or would it be too light? If any one else can pls answer this for me ur more then welcome to.. thanks!
I think you could. It might be a bit pale, but I’m around NC30 and could wear it alone without problems, IMO!
Ok, so I think I’m gonna get Sensational, brave new bronze, and gold rebel. The others don’t interest me. It kind of looks like liberated and gold rebel are the same though.
Gold Rebel has peachyish shimmer, Liberated is all gold/yellow.
i really liked these colours. i like the lipsticks more though. aww cant wait to go broke lol
LOL, Elisa!
thanks so much for the swatches!! how does Gold Rebel compare to Nice to be Nice from HK? I really love Nice to be Nice so I hope they’re similar!
Different entirely. Gold Rebel has more pigmentation, but it’s a peachy orange, not bright orange like Nice To Be Nice (well, how it looks in the tube).
Oh wow, I actually really like Sunsational.
Yay! Glad you like it, Carrie 🙂
Brave new Bronze reminds me of Hue which I absolutely love, does anyone else see that?? Purple Rite looks great on you Christine, you make me want that one! Wondering if I might like Sunsational also.
It’s more like Honeylove, I’d say, but the finish/texture is sooo different.
I must pick up Purple Rite and a Brave New Bronze! Too lovely!
Yayyy! I’m glad you are gonna get ’em, Naz!
christine, do you think that sunsationa l/s is a dupe for gel l/s AND is gold rebel anywhere close to nymphette?
i’m just trying to justify (to myself) that i need more lip stuff 😛
Wow… I’m loving all the swatches. I don’t want to spend a lot though 🙁
Aww 🙁
ahhh thank you so much for these! i’m so excited for this whole collection, especially brave new bronze lipstick. amazing! ♥
My pleasure, Eva!
wow the payoff of those lipsticks are nice 🙂
Yeah, they’re pretty good!
Beautiful! This is not fair…I want them ALL($)! 🙁 Well, like 99% 🙂
Aww 🙁 Maybe you can narrow it down to must haves!
im so excited for brave new bronze!
Yayyy!
would you say that Brave new bronze is the same as myth?
i thought i could skip out on the lip glasses this time ,but know i want all of them!
Closer to Honeylove, but the finish/texture is different!
thanks! =D
No prob, Jackie!
Thank you for keeping us updated with swatches, etc. 🙂 the new bronze lipstick looks very pretty. Would you say its kinda in between creme d nude and pink plaid? or not even close? lol
Sure thing, Abby 🙂
Closer to Honeylove!
wow.. Tribalist remind me of my fave lipglass, Jampacked from the Cult of Cherry collec. it also looks like Rimmel lasting finish in Bordeaux..
i still want Brave New Bronze tho..
Think you’ll get Tribalist, Anna?
I love Purple Rite and Sunsational!
Good picks 😉
i hope brave new bronze is amplified creme!
Satin!
hmmm, i wonder how Brave New Bronze would compare to Creme Cup?
It’s more pigmented/deeper, I’d say.
I am loving New Brave Bronze and Sunsational even more now.
YAY! Glad you are!
which lipstick or lipglass do you like the best from the style warrior christine?
Brave New Bronze!
hi christine:)
do u think brave new bronze is similar or 4N lipstick at all?
thankyou for the swatches
ur the best
xx
The texture/finish is really different, I think. Brave New Bronze is opaque and creamy!
Sunsational definitely calls my name. Brave new bronze looks cute, too, but it might be too matte on my lips, and I personally do not like matte lips at all.. Thanks so much for the swatches, Christine!
It’s not matte, it is a satin so maybe you’ll like it 😀
Christine, how does Purple Rite compared to Pomposity, Kirsch to Tribalist and Style Warrior to Beaux l/g.
Tribalist is similar to Kirsch, but Style Warrior is much browner/opaque than Beaux. Pomposity is more fuchsia and has more shimmer/frost.
Hello Christine,
Do you think that Brave New Bronze is similar to Benefit’s Lady’s Choice?
Thank you!
Satine
I don’t have Lady’s Choice at the moment to compare, sorry!
Hi Christine,
Thanks for letting us know that we can now order Style Warriors online! I ended up not getting Purple Rite cos it will probably be too sheer for my dark lips. I will be in NYC (from Syd) in a few weeks so if its still there then I can try it on!
Thanks for your swatches!
Usha
No problem 🙂 I’m happy to let the cat outta the bag, LOL!
I am LOVING Brave New Bronze but I JUST bought Yves Saint Laurent’s Rouge Volupte in #2 today.
Can anyone tell me if Brave New Bronze compared to YSL Rouge Volupte #2 is a close match, or a dupe?.
Just asking because I either need to stop the lemming, or buy. But it’s a complete pet peeve when I buy two lipsticks that are basically the same. 😉
Oh no!
I don’t think they’re super similar, but I’m not 100% sure. I haven’t swatched #2 in awhile.
Is tribalist a good dupe for night violet (with the matte finish aside)?
It’s OK! I’d probably go for one of MAC’s permanent lipsticks like Media or Rebel, instead, though.
your lipstick and lipgloss swatches always look like you use the product sparingly. Why don’t you apply a little more?
I use as much product as necessary — I’m not going to pile it on if it’s not going to make a difference, know what I mean? I layer on until it’s not making a difference to add more — my lips are my lips, so on your lips, it may look more pigmented or opaque. I can’t help how something looks on my lips; can’t really change them, sorry!
I’m not trying to waste my time deliberately making things seem sheer or poor performing… I’m showing you exactly how it works for me, which is the best I can do.
