I recently finalized some swaps and received two new Lipstick Queen Saints: Pinky Nude and Berry Nude. I have a low tolerance threshold when it comes to sheer lipsticks, and the Saint formulation is one of the few I'll tolerate because you can layer it up to get decent pigment. I also find that most of the shades play well with my coloring because they're so layerable; the only shade that looked downright dreadful on me at every intensity was Coral Saint.
Same makeup, just two different lipsticks! Berry Saint has a very 90s brown pluminess to it, so I'll have to whip it out for grunge and 90s looks. Pinky Nude Saint is a wearable, beige pink shade that reminds me of Urban Decay Naked. Berry looks a smidge patchy here, but that has more to do with my application than with the actual formulation of the lipstick.
I love Pinky Saint on you. I used to own a couple Lipstick Queens but I have forgotten why I've fallen out of love with them...
ReplyDeleteHum. I know they aren't the longest-lasting out there, and some people find them drying. Maybe that's it? The shade range and the formulations just seem to work really well for me, though!
Deletethey both look great on you! I may have to try some LQs...

Thank you! I definitely recommend checking out the Saint line; they're pretty much the only "sheer" lipsticks I'll tolerate.
