Pick Up (388)

Marc Jacobs Beauty Pick Up (388) Enamored Hi-Shine Lip Lacquer ($28.00 for 0.16 oz.) is a medium-dark golden copper with warm undertones and a sparkling, shimmery finish with a high shine. It had semi-sheer color coverage that applied evenly with good distribution of the shimmer/sparkle. The gloss had a smooth, spreadable consistency that felt like a gel-cream hybrid, so there was enough thickness to it (without being heavy or glue-like!) to keep the gloss feeling smooth despite all the shimmer in it. The gloss stayed on well for four hours and was lightly hydrating over time.

Formula Overview

$28.00/0.16 oz. - $175.00 Per Ounce

It is supposed to have "maximum color and brilliance" and "shine like 30 coats of lacquer." The formula has a mint scent but not much flavor from what I could detect. The biggest downside is that several shades that I have are not in line with “maximum color.” They range from semi-sheer to semi-opaque, and they do have a very high-shine finish that makes my lips look more voluminous.

The consistency was smooth, like a creamy gel as it was a bit thicker (without being heavy or tacky), and very easy to spread across my lips. It was comfortable to wear and moisturizing over time. Some shades smoothed out my lip lines, though it wasn't consistent throughout the range.

Atomic (400)

Marc Jacobs Beauty Atomic (400) Enamored Hi-Shine Lip Lacquer ($28.00 for 0.16 oz.) is a medium-dark, reddish copper with warmer red and gold shimmer/sparkle with lighter, fuchsia shimmer/sparkle as well. The pigmentation was medium in coverage in one layer, and the gloss was thick enough that I wouldn’t want to go in with a full second layer. The consistency was lightweight, comfortable to wear, and easy to spread across my lips. I didn’t find that this particular shade was as smoothing of my lip lines as others in the formula, but it definitely didn’t emphasize my lip lines either. It wore well for four hours and was moisturizing over time.
