Shiseido Hushed Tones (RD713) Rouge Rouge Lipstick ($28.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a light-medium pink with warm undertones and a natural sheen. The pigmentation was mostly opaque, and the consistency was smooth, lightly emollient, and comfortable to wear. The downside to this shade was how some of the color settled into lip lines as it wore, though it lated for four hours and was hydrating.

Shiseido Sweet Desire (RD714) Rouge Rouge Lipstick ($28.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark mauve with neutral-to-cool undertones and a soft sheen. The lipstick had a lightweight, smooth, and lightly creamy texture that was comfortable to wear and felt hydrating over time.

Shiseido Rouge Rum Punch (RD504) Rouge Rouge Lipstick ($28.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark plummy-berry with cooler undertones and a soft sheen. It had good color coverage, though not fully opaque, with a creamy, lightweight texture that glided across the lips with ease and deposited even, smooth color.

FORMULA OVERVIEW | Shiseido Rouge Rouge Lipstick ($28.00 for 0.14 oz.) is described as a vibrant, long-wearing, and hydrating lipstick available in 16 shades inspired by red. The pigmentation varied from semi-opaque to fully opaque with a lightweight, lightly creamy consistency that wasn’t too thin or too thick, so it sat well on the lips and made mine appear smoother. The colors applied evenly on the lips and didn’t drag as the texture is very smooth and emollient enough to have a soft sheen but not enough to slide around easily. The formula lasted anywhere from four to eight hours, which was nicely hydrating.

This entire look you created wearing Rouge Rum Punch is gorgeous! This is one colour that looks amazing on you but would also totally work on me as well 🙂

These lipsticks sound perfect for me. I love when a formula is lightweight, moisturizing and makes my lips appear smoother!! I’ve been curious about these Shiseido lipsticks because I like other Shiseido products I’ve tried. It’s amazing that the color lasted so long on you. Rum Punch looks like a great shade I could try for the fall 🙂

As I love the design of these I can’t help but feel underwhelmed by the pigmentation of these three. They seem very basic, full coverage but nothing exciting ya know. overall, I still would like to try one, not in this color selection, lol but one in general.

Since UD Naked is the palest pink I can pull off without looking like the living dead, Hushed Tones is a big pass as it’s even lighter than Naked.
Sweet Desire is gorgeous! But I do have Modesty, so another pass. This one not so easy, though!
Rum Punch is the WINNER! Love how lush and yet fresh this looks! I have had UD Crisis on my mental wishlist ever since you reviewed it and I tried it on (LOVED!)…really hard to decide between them?

Oh no, now I want both Red Queen and Rum Punch! I mean, they are totally different and I don’t have any obvious dupes …. is that a good enough excuse? Or maybe even better, two of these equals one Tom Ford lipstick, so it’s a deal, right?

Is Sephora going to carry these?

All three are beautiful. I love Shiseido’s Rouge Rouge formula and the price. My favorite formula is still Tom Fords Moisture Core lip color. I don’t like his other lipstick formulas as much, I find them very drying. But Moisture Core I am in love with.

Rum Punch is beautiful! I have some berry lipsticks, but I like how Shiseido’s version has good pigment, but the muted midtone color makes it very easy to wear. It’s not super-bold and in-your-face, but it’s not wimpy-looking either. I think a lot of their reds have this same elusive quality.

I am definitely getting Rouge Rum Punch during the next Sephora sale. It’s just different enough from Craving and Rapture that I can justify it. Thanks for reviewing these; they’re lovely!
