Skinny Jeans

Smashbox Skinny Jeans Legendary Lipstick ($21.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a medium-dark blue with fine pearl. The pearl is less obvious once applied, but there is a subtle sheen and luminosity to the finish from it.

The Be Legendary formula is supposed to have “rich, vibrant color” that is long-wearing and moisturizing. The brand described it as a “sheery navy,” which is more accurate than the more generic, formula-wide description, as it had more medium coverage that was buildable up to semi-opaque pigmentation. The texture had some slip, which made it comfortable to wear, but it applied unevenly, gathered in lip lines, and was hard to keep from sliding around (though it didn’t actually feather on me). This shade wore well for four hours on me and stained my lips bluish.

Deep

Smashbox Deep Be Legendary Lipstick ($21.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a deep navy blue with strong, cool undertones (almost looks purple) with fine blue and violet pearl. It had semi-opaque color coverage with a lightweight consistency that wasn’t too thin or too thick, spread fairly well across the lips, but it did look uneven and patchy in places. I also had trouble with color pulling into my lip lines from the beginning. It lasted for five hours, stained my lips slightly, and was lightly hydrating.

Bankrolled

Smashbox Bankrolled Be Legendary Lipstick ($21.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a medium black with neutral undertones and a soft, teal pearl. It had sheer coverage, so it was better at darkening other colors (including one’s natural lip color) but is just so-so on its own, as it settled into lip lines and didn’t look even. It lasted for four hours on me, but the color did sink further into my lip lines over time. This shade was described as a “sheer black cream” by the brand, so the color coverage is in line with how it was described.

I often like sheer and semi-opaque lipsticks, preferring them to lip glosses, but I don’t think they work as well for really deep colors like these — I think any unevenness really shows. A shame, because I otherwise love deep, cool-toned, blue lipsticks. I might even be tempted to see if I could make Skinny Jeans or Deep work with a lip liner, but I think a better solution would be to work with one of the dupes. Too bad! I think they should have gone for full-on opaque with these.

I really like moody colors like Skinny Jeans and Bankrolled, just sad the formula isn’t better, but probably fixable with a lip liner, will put them on maybe list
