Editor's Review

Bite Beauty Kale Amuse Bouche Lipstick ($26.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a deep, blackened green with subtle, cool undertones and a satin finish. It was intensely pigmented with a creamy, smooth consistency that applied beautifully. I was really impressed by the level of coverage as well as the evenness of application, as deeper shades like this often become a mess. It's very dark, but it's still noticeably green--you definitely get that tint and flash in person under an assortment of lighting types. It wore well for over six hours, was lightly hydrating, and faded evenly. Bite Beauty #052 (P, $18.00) is more muted, cooler, less glossy (95% similar). ColourPop Brucie (LE, $7.00) is less shimmery, lighter (85% similar). Makeup Geek Twerk (LE, $12.00) is lighter, less glossy (90% similar). MAC Mean Green Machine (LE, $19.00) is lighter, warmer (85% similar). Urban Decay Junkie (DC, $18.00) is more shimmery, lighter, warmer (80% similar). Dolce and Gabbana Smeraldo (LE, $33.00) is more shimmery, lighter, less pigmented (80% similar). MAC Deep with Envy (LE, $19.00) is lighter (80% similar). Maybelline Smoky Jade (P, $7.49) is lighter, cooler, less glossy (80% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

Such a unique and cool color. It was somewhat tricky to line my lips nicely and took a few minutes (and some qtips). I noticed some color disappearing from the center of my lips after a brief conversation. However, reapplying was easy. It felt slightly moisturizing while worn. I don’t believe I am prone to feathering, but nevertheless I did not notice any feathering. The lipstick wore off evenly and looked nice until I took it off. It has a nice lemon scent that reminds me of a certain desert I like to bake (lemon loaf)!

I have mixed feelings on this lipstick. On one hand, the shade is so unique and pretty. But the Amuse Bouche formula seems kind of slippery to me. It's almost too moisturizing and emollient. Lasting power is therefore poor.

I have seen a lot of green lipsticks, and although green is my favorite color, I usually pass them up because they don't seem very wearable, especially not with my pale complexion. But Kale is surprisingly wearable, especially if you add some sort of sparkly pigment to the center to give it a little extra depth. What I love about this color is that it is a deep blackened green, so it's very sophisticated. It doesn't look cheap or Halloweeny or gimmicky. It looks dramatic! I also like the Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche formula, which dries down to a satiny almost-matte finish without drying my lips out. It is a little difficult to apply this one neatly, and since it's such a dark and unusual color, any feathering or smudging really shows. Otherwise it's perfect!

This is the first green lipstick I've ever bought. Other shades scared me; this one was calling my name! Pictures don't do Kale justice but Christine's close up with flash is close. It's almost a pearlized finish. It even makes my teeth look whiter, which I thought was impossible with a green lipstick. It's VERY pigmented but came off easily with my makeup remover. Bonus: it's hydrating on my lips and stayed put, even when I accidentally smudged it when I changed shirts. Kale is a totally wearable shade and I have a feeling I'll be wearing it a lot this summer. This formula is my new favorite.
