Easy to wear cool-toned plummy colour. I think because these aren't opaque, they look a little different on everyone. I have this and Bated Breath and between the two this it's slightly lighter and much cooler toned on my very pink lips.

I'm really happy with this lipstick. The colour is easy to wear and it feels moisturising on the lips. I don't normally go for sheer lipsticks, but these aren't exactly sheer. You can see your lips through, so the colour isn't opaque, but your lips are still distinctly a different colour.

Ridiculously good. Even pigment, easy to apply and crisp around the edges. How do they do this for the price?

If you find mac lipsticks drying this will be no exception. Gorgeous colour though. The subtle metallic sheen gives the colour depth.

Very unique colour that's surprisingly opaque and smooth even on pigmented lips. Obviously doesn't wear down well since pink lips will show through as the creamy lipstick wears off. But while it's there it's pretty amazing and very comfortable.

I really like the feel of these KvD lipsticks. This colour is an easy-to-wear everyday colour and it feels smooth on the lips. It feels kind of creamy and powdery at the same time, and wears nicely over time.

While I generally like the formula of these KvD lipsticks, Zero looks very patchy on me. It's a tricky colour, especially if you already have pigmented lips.

Despite overall poor reviews on this site I've really enjoyed the formula of these lipstick. They feel matte but not too dry on the lips. They stay a bit flexible, wear nicely and feel kind of creamy but powdery. Misfit is a great everyday warm red. Not too bold but dark enough to look like a red.

I like the idea of these blurry lipsticks. However, at least with this colour, it clings to any dry bits on the lips which kind of ruins the Korean lip effect.

Interesting colour but not easy to get even and feels quite drying to me.

I really like this formula. It feels like a very thin matte lipstick. It lasts really well and evenly on the lips and you forget it's on because it's so lightweight. The colour is very metallic and quite brownish on my pale skin. It looks more flattering on darker skintones imho, but I still like it for being such a unique shade.

I've never seen a colour like this. It makes me think of steampunk and sepia photos. It's a little bit gothy against my very pale skin (which is fine with me) and it lasts really well. I find it slightly drying as I do most mac lipsticks, but it's not painfully so.

The colour is very pretty and unique. The formula is a very pigmented lip gloss. It transfers on everything and is a bit sticky. However, it wears away evenly and feels very hydrating on the lips.

Honestly I was a little disappointed in Jam. I really like the abuse bouche formula but this particular colour is tricky. If you apply it lightly it's more pink and applied heavily it's much darker. This means it can look patchy. It feels lovely on but it didn't wear nicely due to the colour changing so much as it wears away. Plus it pulled into fine lines around my mouth. I'd pass on this shade. Of the dark amuse bouche shades Liquorice wears much better.

I really like this lipstick and the colour is nicely in between a mlbb and a bold colour. So it's not light enough to be boring but very easy to slap on for a slightly elevated look. It's not quite pink and not quite mauve and it's lighter than most plum or burgundy colours. It's very creamy and comfortable to wear. It is however not transfer proof. So tea cups, babies and cats will get some lipstick on them. The colour does however fade gracefully and didn't go patchy.

This is a very nice matte formula that goes on smoothly and isn't excessively drying. The colour is not a dupe, but it is very reminiscent of Urban Decay's Temper on my skin tone. A slightly rusty orange toned red.

Very consistent with the Audacious formula. Pigmented and creamy and quite long wearing. The colour is perfect, exactly how I pictured it, since my mum bought this for me overseas without me being able to swatch it first.

Really lovely colour. Somewhere between purple, brown and grey. It's a little more gentle than a lot of liquid-to-matte lipsticks, but it's still drying.

Beautiful warm deep red. I love this formula and it's very consistent across colours.

It looks sheerer on me than most swatches I've seen, but I don't mind since it makes it more wearable for me. It's a grey lavender colour, and in some lights pulls more blue. It's great if you have pastel blue hair like I did when I first got it.
