Marc Jacobs Forbidden Fruit, Want Me, Make Me Enamored Lip Lacquers Reviews & Swatches
Forbidden Fruit (334)
Marc Jacobs Beauty Forbidden Fruit (334) Enamored Hi-Shine Lip Lacquer ($29.00 for 0.16 oz.) is a muted, light-medium orange with a jelly-like, high-shine finish. It wasn’t pale enough that it veered into milky territory, but it had translucency and some plushness in its consistency that made it look jelly-like to my eye.
It had medium coverage that applied evenly and smoothly across my lips, and it seemed to soften my lip lines. The texture felt smooth, lightweight but more medium in thickness, with slight tackiness. It stayed on well for four hours and felt hydrating over time.

Formula Overview
$29.00/0.16 oz. - $181.25 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. While the brand's general description is "maximum color," they seem to modify that with individual shade descriptions as several shades are specifically described as "opaque" and a few are noted as "sheer" with the remainder having no specific coverage descriptor (as of April/May 2020).
This seems to suggest that the rest are neither sheer nor opaque but somewhere in-between--I would lean toward "semi-opaque" to be closer to "maximum color," though I really think that's quite confusing to the customer. It would make more sense to simply describe it as a range of sheer to opaque shades or that they're medium coverage (as a whole).
The coverage ranged from semi-sheer to opaque with a fair amount of shades between medium and semi-opaque payoff in a single layer, 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 as a few settled into them (usually paler, milkier shades).

Want Me (338)
Marc Jacobs Beauty Want Me (338) Enamored Hi-Shine Lip Lacquer ($29.00 for 0.16 oz.) is a pale pink with subtle, cool undertones and a cream finish paired with moderate shine. It had semi-opaque color coverage in a single layer, and while more product increased coverage, it looked even worse–just too thick and too much product on the lips. This shade was described as “opaque” by the brand.
In a single layer, it applied somewhat evenly but pulled into lip lines, and if I pressed my lips together, there were visible lines of demarcation. It was a high-maintenance shade to wear as it was hard to keep it looking “mostly” even and streak-free. The texture was smooth, lightweight, and spreadable with light tackiness, so it was comfortable and lightly moisturizing over the four hours it lasted for.

Make Me (340)
Marc Jacobs Beauty Make Me (340) Enamored Hi-Shine Lip Lacquer ($29.00 for 0.16 oz.) is a muted, darker mauve with neutral-to-warm undertones and a cream finish paired with a high-shine. The consistency was smooth, fluid–like a gel-cream–that spread easily over my lips and seemed to soften out some of my lip lines. It could have applied slightly more evenly, especially along the edges.
It had semi-opaque color coverage, though this shade was described as “opaque,” and it wore well for four and a half hours and felt hydrating over time.

Mmm, Forbidden Fruit looks so yummy for this time of year! Just pure deliciousness!
But I don’t want Want Me, LOL. Yikes. Dave Chappelle donut lips.
Forbidden Fruit is pretty, but oh my word the other two look quite average…
I love the color of Make Me.
Oh, me too!
