Make Up For Ever C602 Artist Rouge Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a bright, cyan blue with cool undertones and a creamy, lightly glossy finish. It was moderately creamy, and I was surprised to find it still applied rather well, as this type of color paired with so much slip is usually a total disaster! That being said, there was a bit of color that sunk into lip lines, which worsened as the lipstick wore on. I would recommend lightly blotting the shine down with a tissue or the back of your hand, which helps to minimize settling over time. On me, this shade wore well for four and a half hours and was hydrating. It did leave a very subtle bluish stain behind. MAC Dreampot (P, $19.00) is lighter, brighter (90% similar). NYX Blue Velvet (P, $6.00) is darker, cooler (90% similar). MAC Instant Icon (LE, $19.00) is lighter, less pigmented, lower quality (90% similar). ColourPop Mr. Blonde (LE, $6.50) is darker, more muted (90% similar). KVD Beauty Dreamer (P, $20.00) is warmer, less glossy (90% similar). MAC Shockvalue (LE, $19.00) is darker, cooler (85% similar). Urban Decay Control (DC, $18.00) is darker, more muted, cooler (80% similar). Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Pool Boy (DC, $18.00) is lighter (80% similar). Bite Beauty Nearly Neon Blue (LE, $26.00) is darker, cooler (80% similar). Fenty Beauty Motorboat (LE, $20.00) is cooler (80% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.
