My fave is lipstick 💋. Love Buxom Full Force and Chantecaille Lip Chics most. Never too much cooler, glossy nudes 😅, but my current fave is Chantecaille in Prairie Smoke.
My favorite brand without a doubt is Revlon Super Lustrous. Over the years after trying different brands, I always go back to Revlon. My very favorite color is Rosedew. It's pearl finish and quite neutral. I always prefer the pearl finish, but its not too much......just flattering.
I agree! I cannot imagine a world without Revlon. I have so many of their lipsticks and have been purchasing them since I was a teenager (too many years to state) and love the Super Lustrous lipsticks. Milani and L'Oreal Paris are also good, but do not have the breadth of Revlon's shades.
I wish all content creators used this format. This was an excellent video and was very interesting. Thank you so much. Would love to see this format/comparison for other products such as foundation, eyeshadow and mascara.
I agree 100%. I am not a make up person. But sometimes I try some things you know I try to be into a little bit of make up. I get annoyed because every make up video starts with “ I’m so excited about this new product…” Eyeroll. Your video was just very good. It gave comparisons you talked about different aspects of the lipstick, and you gave the prices. Also, I liked how you laid your arm down on that silk cloth in the background. That was crazy. So yes , more videos like this would be great.
I'm 43 and I've been buying the Revlon Super Lustrous lipsticks since I was in high school. They are great and you can't beat the quality for the price!
6:05 Laura Rae Beauty: Your undertone is warm and the Besame 'Portrait Peach' is far more flattering for your skin tone and undertone. The Maybelline 'Romantic Rose' is too cool and looks ashy with your skin. If your issue with the Besame is lack of shimmer, you can easily top it with a gloss.
as a little girl in the 50's the glamours lady behind the Revlon counter in department store fascinated me. Decades later I was a make up artist for Estee Lauder and Clinique, Been hooked all my life!!!!!
I just don't care for nude shades as they make most women look washed out, and I think a little more color perks our faces up much more. Thanks for a great video! P.S.: I like MAC, Revlon and Clinique lipsticks.
The Mac and Pillow Talk by Charlotte Tilbury absolutely looks best on you because it’s warm toned, like your skin and hair. I’m very cool toned so I like pinky nudes, mauves, etc and I’m a lipgloss addict for sure! I would really recommend staying away from the mauves and pinks for you….they really don’t match you at all.
I’m a huge Besamè fan, I absolutely adore their lipsticks, but yes, they are all cremes, not shimmers. They last like crazy and are handmade. Thanks for giving it a fair chance in your video.
My grandmother used to absolutely love Re-Nutriv lipstick from Estée Lauder. She always said they were the most nourishing and comfortable she knew. Unfortunately they are not available anymore. I always remember the smell, it was fantastic !
Totally agree! Revlon is special. I have their Gold Goddess lipstick to use as a highlighting center of the lips topper for the holidays. It is so moisturizing, and the packaging is solid. And this is a top I got from Laura Rae - adding a gold lipgloss or topper. I want to collect all the Revlon classics.
Revlon is my fave drugstore brand for its quality, longevity, and range of colors. I also like L'Oreal and Mac. The other high-end brands are good, but they are occasional splurges.
I really mean it when I say you look good in every single shade! They were seriously all very flattering. I can't say my fave because it depends on your mood, what you're wearing, the occasion, your accompanying makeup, etc. You've inspired me to try a lipstick. As a 56 yr old, I only wear gloss (My fave beauty product) because I think lipstick ages me.
My mom, born in 1910 (!) was 50 in 1960, when she began wearing paler colors--like Jacqueline Kennedy and Audrey Hepburn. After Mom discovered Revlon's "Pink in the Afternoon," she never looked back. She stayed beautiful up until she died at age 81. What a woman.
It's so cold where I work, winter or summer, that a drier lipstick works for me. My go to has been Revlon Colorstay. It's been my most faithful re-purchase of any and I have yet to try a color I don't love, and it's VERY long wearing, even with my daily coffee thermos. But at home, where I can boost the heat a bit more, my lips feel drier, so I wanted to find something moisturizing. Your video was VERY helpful, and I was happy to see Revlon place so well. You have me curious about Maybelline, also. Since I'm mostly looking for something to moisturize my lips more when I'm at home, I wanted to focus on drugstore brands. Thank you!
I like the creamy Maybelline and Revlon. I wear Revlon Colorstay Satin Ink in the color Her Majesty almost daily because it lasts so long. As I have aged (I’m 76!) I really need that pop of color. Thanks for the review. I was just thinking of ordering a Revlon Red or Cherries in the Snow for my Holiday lip color. They are such classics. Thanks Revlon!
I am a total lipstick junkie. I bought a Dior(ridiculous price) and loved the color, my fav, but the one I reach for and is in my purse is Flower-great for dry winter lips.
My favorite cosmetic is mascara-I tend to overbuy! I like it cosmetics Superhero, Benefit They’re Real, CoverGirl LashBlast, and L’Oréal Age Perfect. My lashes are long-but lack volume
I think the Besame,,' lip looked the best on you of all the colors shown! I know you were comparing the whole product but I was so impressed by how youthful your skin looked with the Be same' and your eyes sparkled more. Interesting.
Lipsticks are my favorite too. Two Faced Wifey for Lifey, Clinique Bamboo pink, NARS Dolce Vita, Smashbox Audition are some of my favorites. I also have the Pillow talk original and medium. Thank you for a great video!
Wow - just goes to show! I ordered a new Revlon lipstick just before watching your video, so I'm feeling pretty pleased with myself (by association 😆). All of the lipsticks looked great on you - the MAC and Charlotte Tilbury especially. Thanks for the review, and the way it was carried out - it's a format that works. PS - love the eyeshadow.
I’ve had the same tube of Besame Chocolate Kiss for over 3 yrs. It’s pigmented, long-wearing, and is not drying or cakey. It feels sweetly vintage, like I’m sneaking into my mom’s purse for a lipstick. The velvet case it comes in is so classy.
My favorite drugstore lipsticks are Revlon. I love Revlon's Pink in the Afternoon. My favorite department store brand is Bobbi Brown Luxe Lipsticks in Pink Nude, Pale Mauve or Almost Bare. These Luxe lipsticks are so nice and creamy. They stay on my lips for a long time too. They are not budget friendly at $40 a tube, but I enjoy wearing this lipstick very much. Thanks for doing this video. The Maybeline Romantic Rose is so pretty. The Huda shade looked so pretty on you too. Pillow Talk looked great on you. Have a wonderful day! xo, Karen
I appreciate your kindness Karen. I would love to try the Bobbi Brown. Her lipstick looks very creamy and I like the various shades of pinky nude and nude that she makes.❤️
Being a lipstick junkie for years I’ve tried everything high end, low end and finally found affordable Wet n Wild. Drug store brand has got it all. Under $3.00. Can you believe my surprise. Has colors that I love. I’m not a nudie person so their reds are the best for me.
Good morning, Laura! You look so beautiful!! I love your blouse! My fave category is, lipsticks, for sure. My faves are Revlon, CoverGirl, Maybelline and Flower Beauty. Thank you for a wonderful video!! I'm SO thankful for you, Laura! ❤️
MAC bullet lipsticks are my favorites. My fave shades are Velvet Teddy; Twig and Meyer. I am a dark blonde with green eyes. One thing I don’t like about drugstore lipsticks are some of them have strong smells (I like unscented) or waxy textures, but I’m willing to give your top winner a try!
Color the World is a little company making cruelty free, beautiful and marvelous products in North Carolina. Their lipsticks are definitely made for those of us who desire non feathering, stay put, creamy and comfortable lipstick with gorgeous color. I don’t know why beauty influencers haven’t discovered it yet. Especially those who address mature women. But my daughter loves them too at thirty! I am 71. Been using CTW products for years. Their other makeup is really good and clean also. Brushes are lovely. Please try!
I love Revlon, and I don't want to live in a world without it either 🙂 They are my favorite, and I've tried the ones you tested except for the Besame. I love that Besame peachy coral color. I wonder if there is a dupe. I think Revlon may have a shade close to it. Great video!
Revlon Super Lustrous cremes in Desert Escape and Raisin Rage are my current favorites. Desert Escape is a dupe for MAC's Bated Breath and wears better. Toast of New York and Rose Velvet are longtime loves. And the Shine Glass formula from Revlon is so luscious. I think I'd have to give up lipstick (and just do balm) if Revlon went out of business and didn't spin off the lipsticks.
So nice to hear you praise Eevlon. I hope it hangs on. Ass an mua I've used everything from Tom Ford (ludicrous price) to Wet and Wild on my clients. Revlon wins everytime. Shade, finish and formulations are great and they even last on brides without causing crunchy lips! Keep up the great work, I love your attitude. Blessings to you and yours this season.
The portrait peach looks absolutely amazing on you. It really makes your whole face look fantastic. All the lipsticks look good on you but that one in my opinion made you look absolutely gorgeous. It complements your whole face.
Now nearing my mid 60s, lipsticks suddenly started to become a problem too. Not so much dry lips but wrinkles, around and on the lips. One of the worst was Charlotte Tilbury because she does only matte. No trick helps. A very good one of the inexpensive was Revlon, but becomes now also an undesirable. By consistency I came around Cliniques chubby stick, onlne. It's between a lipstick and a gloss but not sticky and lasts quite well. Colours are rather watercolour-ish but forgiving to older skintones and not so obvious if they fade after eating. And they nourish the skin. I've just ordered another colour. The best is to use a plumping primer and a colourless liner. Can recommend Artdeco, a German brand. One problem sorted, more to do.
I’ve used Revlon for years. Over the past 4 years I’ve been trying the more lux brands. Although the colors are beautiful many have fragrance. I’m going back to Revlon. Thanks for your content.
One of the best lipstick that I’ve ever found over many years is Rommel lasting finish lipstick. I used to get it in my local CVS but it’s still available online. My favorite color is 08 which is a pink and 14 which is a nude but they have a variety of other shades. It’s far superior to the Revlon and far superior to Charlotte Tilbury and frankly better than most other lipstick so I’ve tried. A quick run her up is the Ulta lipsticks they seem to be very close to the Rommel but give them a try I’d love to see if anyone else is familiar with this
I'm a little late to the party, but, here I am at one of my best influencers on RUclips! Laura Rae, you hit it out of the park again! I don't know why I missed out on this video🤔! I totally agree with you about Revlon! They were the first lipstick and cosmetics company I purchased from when I was a kid at my first job! When I thought I was a "big shot" beginning my career I only purchased "high end" products! BIG MISTAKE! I LOVE REVLON! Their lipsticks and cosmetics are the best in the business! I won't venture out ever again! I have over 50 products from them and love them all! Bravo to you for featuring them and Bravo to Revlon for keeping on, keeping on,! DON'T GO AWAY! You have no idea now many of us out there love Revlon and will continue using the product! By the way, I don't have a favorite color; I love them all!💄
I love your passion about Revlon. I have a love for here makeup too. My mom used a lot of Revlon over the years and we both love their lipstick. When Mom died last year, I found several Revlon lipsticks and I saved them.❤️❤️
Oh my gosh! I JUST bought the Velvet teddy powder kiss formula and I love love it!! It feels like a CT lipstick! I also ordered the Spice lip pencil in honor of how much I wore it in the 90s!! Beautiful combo!! Love your videos!
I’ve worn Revlon lipstick for many years. My signature color is Blasé Apricot. They recently discontinued it, and I haven’t been able to find a shade from any other company that comes close to it. I bought up as many as I could find. I wish they would bring it back. I know there are a lot of other women who feel the same way.
Currently enjoying Revlon Blushing Mauve. I also bought a Besame lipstick based on Emily Noel's video. Holiday Red looked really heavy/dry on me with too much gold glitter for my comfort level. I did try again with just a dab on top of lip balm and it was better, but I wouldn't buy it again and would return if that had been an option. One more thing about lipstick to mention: the smell and the shape of package with regard to storing. If you use an acrylic lipstick holder, it's great with Revlon but many other's are to big or slant tipped so then you have to have some other system. Being super visual, I love to see all of the choices in a pretty system that makes me happy whenever I see it, rather than rummaging through a drawer. Also the smell of Revlon products is pleasant and doesn't feel cheap or old, like a Grandma's lipstick:) Anyhoo, love this video and appreciate you and yours Laura Rae. Happy Holiday's all!
Thank you so much for your kindness. I feel the same way you do about the Revlon lipstick. It is nice to arrange lipstick in a way that is beautiful.❤️
Hello Laura, 💄🌸 I absolutely love the first color you put on. It's absolutely gorgeous on you. Also, "On the Mauve" is sensational on you. I'm not a huge lipstick kind of lady, except, you sent me the Nivea BlackBerry balm. I can't stop using it! I've been using it since you sent it to me back in 2021! I love it. If I had to choose, it would be the Nivea and the less expensive Walmart brands! It's just me. I'm not into packaging so much. But I do love sheer colors. Loved this video! 💛
CT Pillowtalk is my #1 favorite- I love Mac in multiple colors. I own probably 50 lipsticks but when I'm going to anything 'special or important' I ALWAYS reach for Pillowtalk! I also LOVE the Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink in Revolutionary, Lover & Seductress. Layer any of them with the CT Pillow talk on top & you've got a miracle! Add a dab of Maybelline Lifter Gloss in Stone & you'll have SUPER MIRACLE LIPS!
I am amazed that Revlon was the winner. I have worn Clinique for years but not that I am retired cost is a consideration. I will be looking at Revlon! Thank you.
I recently found that the mauves and burgandy, that I have used forever, don't look as bright as a coral base. I think the same is true for you. I had to change what colors I had always thought were "my colors".
Revlon has been and is my favorite brand. It’s what my mother wore. Love That Red and Fire and Ice were colors I’d watch her apply as a child. I have SO many colors. I wish they’d bring back their lip butters. I’ve worn lipstick since I was in 9th grade and I’m now 63. It is my favorite makeup item and I never leave without it. I was glad to see Supermodel swatched. With the sheen and added minty tingle, that’s what I’m going to get. This afternoon😆
I just happened upon your video and really enjoyed it. I am a lipstick fanatic and am 67 years old. I enjoy Clinique lipsticks with primer and their foundation lipsticks because they don’t bleed into the corners. I also like Look Fabulous Forever lustrous lipsticks. The LFF long lasting lipsticks tend to bleed.
I think the formula is what I go for. I wondered about a high end lipstick since I buy mostly MAC or Revlon so I got an Armani and it is very lux. The way it goes on and the creaminess is extremely rich. I love them all for different reasons and so far nobody really surpasses my MAC. Some of that is due to the vanilla scent too.
I liked the Buxom shade the best. I've ordered it! My go to & favorite lipsticks are Relvon & Maybelline. A little lipstick and blush, I'm out the door.
This was a great video comparing a variety of lipsticks. The one in the beginning that was more peach shade looked the best on you because it gave a warm look to your face that appeared healthy and younger. FYI: I also like some of the Tarte lipsticks and the Two Faced brand. Thank you for helping us mature women with beauty tips in a country that mainly focuses on the young. ♥️
I agree I big lover of lipstick. Then maybe bronzer and foundation. The glow paradise lipstick are great. I’ll leave mine in a skin care refrigerator to keep them from melting when extremely hot here in Hawaii. Love these kinds of videos. And your right Maybelline groups up their lipsticks where it’s easier to purchase. Portrait peach is such stunning color. I find that there are a lot of great drug store lipsticks that can compete against a lot of high end.
Mine too. MAC was always my favorite until I got older & tried Charlotte's Pillowtalk- it's just a little creamier than Mac. But I do love MAC still- Twig, Velvet Teddy, Mehr, Taupe & Whirl are perfect nudes.
You are so kind. Your outros almost make me tear up! Thank you for this vid. Just a comment, I bought the Charlotte Tilbury pillow talk….I don’t get it. I really dislike the formulation of how it feels on my lips. Ugh. I’m more a gloss person but will stick to my drugstore nudes for lipsticks. Thank you Laura Rae! ❤
Excellent video and very real! Ive been following Hot& Flashy for a long time and recently discovered you. Looking forward to viewing more of your videos!
I have tried alot of lipstick from Lisa Eldridge to Charlotte Tilbury, and the best brand is BK Beauty, in Passion and Inner Beauty. You can wear this as a aging women and look beautful.
What’s your favorite beauty product? And lipstick shade? Comment below.
I love eyeshadow its my favorite thing to purchase
My fave is lipstick 💋.
Love Buxom Full Force and Chantecaille Lip Chics most.
Never too much cooler, glossy nudes 😅, but my current fave is Chantecaille in Prairie Smoke.
I think you would also like the Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick The Luscious Mattes in Untold Stories and perhaps Wild Thoughts & Shameless.
Lipstick! I have been wearing Fran Wilson Mood Matcher in green for many, many years.
My favorite brand without a doubt is Revlon Super Lustrous. Over the years after trying different brands, I always go back to Revlon. My very favorite color is Rosedew. It's pearl finish and quite neutral. I always prefer the pearl finish, but its not too much......just flattering.

That peach shade goes with your complexion/coloring more than the mauves. Beautiful!
Agreed. I really loved that Besame Portrait Peach shade on you!
Me too!
I agree! The Besame shade was sooo pretty on her.
I agree the Besame shade is a much better color on you. It is much more becoming on you than the shade you put it up against.
I agree the peach shade looks best.
Revlon Super Lustrous all the way!
I sooo agree! I’ve worn Revlon Softsilver Rose for 30 years. I’m 71 and it still works. ❤God bless you!
My favorite is Revlon Pink in the Afternoon. Goes with everything.
WOW! I think that Besame is the PERFECT COLOR for you!! PERFECT!!
I wish all content creators used this format. This was an excellent video and was very interesting. Thank you so much. Would love to see this format/comparison for other products such as foundation, eyeshadow and mascara.

Revlon for the win!

Peach is definitely flattering to you.
Oooooo that portrait peach color looks beautiful on you
Revlon is timeless! My all time favorite.
Besame Portrait Peach looks the best to me. The other shades are too blue, in my opinion. The peach is gorgeous on you!
Laura, your look here is an entire VIBE! Your skin and hair look absolutely stunning! ❤️
Thank you so much!!❤️
Besame Portrait Peach was my favorite of all the colors on you…it just looked beautiful
I love that peach shade but I am definitely going to buy the Revelon you recommended. I love this type of video!
Thank you so much Julie!❤️
The peach looks better on you than the mauve.
The Mac and Pillow Talk by Charlotte Tilbury absolutely looks best on you because it’s warm toned, like your skin and hair. I’m very cool toned so I like pinky nudes, mauves, etc and I’m a lipgloss addict for sure! I would really recommend staying away from the mauves and pinks for you….they really don’t match you at all.

Thank you for your great suggestion.❤️
My grandmother used to absolutely love Re-Nutriv lipstick from Estée Lauder. She always said they were the most nourishing and comfortable she knew. Unfortunately they are not available anymore.

I appreciate all the hard work that goes into your videos. I also like that you have so many affordable options in your reviews.
Love Revlon lipsticks. Also love milani
I recently purchased Revlon in, Pink in the Afternoon and I love it.
That was one of my swatches. Such a great shade!❤️

Charlotte Tilbury pillow talk medium. The original is to light for me. 😊
I also love Revlon! I have so many I’ve lost count. I even mix some shades together for a “custom” color!
I’ve had the same tube of Besame Chocolate Kiss for over 3 yrs.
It’s pigmented, long-wearing, and is not drying or cakey.
It feels sweetly vintage, like I’m sneaking into my mom’s purse for a lipstick.

REVLON ALL THE WAY LAURA!!! Blessings
Wish Revlon would bring back their Moon Drops line.
I loved that line too!❤️
They were a great collection ❤
I am looking for a reddish brown lipstick-I LOVE lipstick it’s definitely my favorite.
Flower Beauty Rose Petal is my very favorite in my HUGE collection. The only problem is I can't find it anywhere!!!

Toast of New York and Rose Velvet are longtime loves. And the Shine Glass formula from Revlon is so luscious. I think I'd have to give up lipstick (and just do balm) if Revlon went out of business and didn't spin off the lipsticks.
I think I am going to try the Buxom! Thanks Laura!
Hope you love it!❤️
I love Buxom!

By consistency I came around Cliniques chubby stick, onlne. It's between a lipstick and a gloss but not sticky and lasts quite well. Colours are rather watercolour-ish but forgiving to older skintones and not so obvious if they fade after eating. And they nourish the skin. I've just ordered another colour. The best is to use a plumping primer and a colourless liner. Can recommend Artdeco, a German brand. One problem sorted, more to do.
I would love a dupe for the Mac Velvet Teddy.
I’ve used Revlon for years. Over the past 4 years I’ve been trying the more lux brands. Although the colors are beautiful many have fragrance. I’m going back to Revlon. Thanks for your content.
I totally agree! Thank you for your encouragement!❤️
One of the best lipstick that I’ve ever found over many years is Rommel lasting finish lipstick. I used to get it in my local CVS but it’s still available online. My favorite color is 08 which is a pink and 14 which is a nude but they have a variety of other shades. It’s far superior to the Revlon and far superior to Charlotte Tilbury and frankly better than most other lipstick so I’ve tried. A quick run her up is the Ulta lipsticks they seem to be very close to the Rommel but give them a try I’d love to see if anyone else is familiar with this
I'm a little late to the party, but, here I am at one of my best influencers on RUclips! Laura Rae, you hit it out of the park again! I don't know why I missed out on this video🤔! I totally agree with you about Revlon! They were the first lipstick and cosmetics company I purchased from when I was a kid at my first job! When I thought I was a "big shot" beginning my career I only purchased "high end" products! BIG MISTAKE! I LOVE REVLON! Their lipsticks and cosmetics are the best in the business! I won't venture out ever again! I have over 50 products from them and love them all! Bravo to you for featuring them and Bravo to Revlon for keeping on, keeping on,! DON'T GO AWAY! You have no idea now many of us out there love Revlon and will continue using the product! By the way, I don't have a favorite color; I love them all!💄
I love your passion about Revlon. I have a love for here makeup too. My mom used a lot of Revlon over the years and we both love their lipstick. When Mom died last year, I found several Revlon lipsticks and I saved them.❤️❤️
I love Channel lipsticks! I always buy them when I am passing thru duty free shops at airports.
This video was so much fun!! Especially since lipstick is not my favorite beauty product. Eyeshadow is my favorite. Great video!!
I love the Revlon lipsticks, I have so many of them and have been wearing these for years..
Oh my gosh! I JUST bought the Velvet teddy powder kiss formula and I love love it!! It feels like a CT lipstick! I also ordered the Spice lip pencil in honor of how much I wore it in the 90s!! Beautiful combo!!
Love your videos!
My go to is Charlotte in Runway Royalty. I liked the Huda on you. My oldest favorite is Mac Velvet Teddy. Great comparison video!
Thanks so much!❤️
I love lipsticks. I have so many! It makes me feel good when I buy one. 😁
Thanks for your video very informative
I’ve worn Revlon lipstick for many years. My signature color is Blasé Apricot. They recently discontinued it, and I haven’t been able to find a shade from any other company that comes close to it. I bought up as many as I could find. I wish they would bring it back. I know there are a lot of other women who feel the same way.
If I could only use 1 brand of lipstick for the rest of my life, it would be Maybelline Color Sensational. It’s just a great formula and price.
They make a beautiful formula and I love so many of their shades.❤️
Definitely! Long hidration!
Currently enjoying Revlon Blushing Mauve. I also bought a Besame lipstick based on Emily Noel's video. Holiday Red looked really heavy/dry on me with too much gold glitter for my comfort level. I did try again with just a dab on top of lip balm and it was better, but I wouldn't buy it again and would return if that had been an option. One more thing about lipstick to mention: the smell and the shape of package with regard to storing. If you use an acrylic lipstick holder, it's great with Revlon but many other's are to big or slant tipped so then you have to have some other system. Being super visual, I love to see all of the choices in a pretty system that makes me happy whenever I see it, rather than rummaging through a drawer. Also the smell of Revlon products is pleasant and doesn't feel cheap or old, like a Grandma's lipstick:) Anyhoo, love this video and appreciate you and yours Laura Rae. Happy Holiday's all!
Thank you so much for your kindness. I feel the same way you do about the Revlon lipstick. It is nice to arrange lipstick in a way that is beautiful.❤️
Hello Laura, 💄🌸
I absolutely love the first color you put on. It's absolutely gorgeous on you. Also, "On the Mauve" is sensational on you.
I'm not a huge lipstick kind of lady, except, you sent me the Nivea BlackBerry balm.
I can't stop using it! I've been using it since you sent it to me back in 2021! I love it.
If I had to choose, it would be the Nivea and the less expensive Walmart brands! It's just me. I'm not into packaging so much. But I do love sheer colors. Loved this video! 💛
This has been very informative and helpful,thank you
CT Pillowtalk is my #1 favorite- I love Mac in multiple colors. I own probably 50 lipsticks but when I'm going to anything 'special or important' I ALWAYS reach for Pillowtalk! I also LOVE the Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink in Revolutionary, Lover & Seductress. Layer any of them with the CT Pillow talk on top & you've got a miracle! Add a dab of Maybelline Lifter Gloss in Stone & you'll have SUPER MIRACLE LIPS!
Thank you for these great suggestions!❤️
I am amazed that Revlon was the winner. I have worn Clinique for years but not that I am retired cost is a consideration. I will be looking at Revlon! Thank you.
I recently found that the mauves and burgandy, that I have used forever, don't look as bright as a coral base. I think the same is true for you. I had to change what colors I had always thought were "my colors".
Revlon has been and is my favorite brand. It’s what my mother wore. Love That Red and Fire and Ice were colors I’d watch her apply as a child. I have SO many colors. I wish they’d bring back their lip butters. I’ve worn lipstick since I was in 9th grade and I’m now 63. It is my favorite makeup item and I never leave without it. I was glad to see Supermodel swatched. With the sheen and added minty tingle, that’s what I’m going to get. This afternoon😆
I also loved the lip butters. I think I had every shade!❤️Hope you love Supermodel!
I also have a favourite Maybelline lipstick...Superstay Matte Ink.
Always been a big fan of Maybelline and Buxom glosses.
This was a really interesting, worthwhile video. Thank you!!
LIpstick is my favorite beauty essential. !
Mine too!❤️
I just happened upon your video and really enjoyed it. I am a lipstick fanatic and am 67 years old. I enjoy Clinique lipsticks with primer and their foundation lipsticks because they don’t bleed into the corners. I also like Look Fabulous Forever lustrous lipsticks. The LFF long lasting lipsticks tend to bleed.

What a FABULOUS video!!! LOVE this format, Laura! I'd love to see this format with other products!!
Yay! Thank you!❤️
I think the formula is what I go for. I wondered about a high end lipstick since I buy mostly MAC or Revlon so I got an Armani and it is very lux. The way it goes on and the creaminess is extremely rich. I love them all for different reasons and so far nobody really surpasses my MAC. Some of that is due to the vanilla scent too.
I love Mac lipsticks! They have such a variety of shades!❤️
I liked the Buxom shade the best. I've ordered it! My go to & favorite lipsticks are Relvon & Maybelline. A little lipstick and blush, I'm out the door.
I hope you love the Buxom Jackie!❤️
I also agree with the choices you made. Especially like the Buxom.
This was a great video comparing a variety of lipsticks. The one in the beginning that was more peach shade looked the best on you because it gave a warm look to your face that appeared healthy and younger. FYI: I also like some of the Tarte lipsticks and the Two Faced brand. Thank you for helping us mature women with beauty tips in a country that mainly focuses on the young. ♥️
I agree I big lover of lipstick. Then maybe bronzer and foundation. The glow paradise lipstick are great. I’ll leave mine in a skin care refrigerator to keep them from melting when extremely hot here in Hawaii. Love these kinds of videos. And your right Maybelline groups up their lipsticks where it’s easier to purchase. Portrait peach is such stunning color. I find that there are a lot of great drug store lipsticks that can compete against a lot of high end.
Portrait Peach would look amazing on you Ranalynn! There are so many beautiful lipsticks at the drugstore..I totally agree with you!❤️
Velvet Teddy beats Pillow Talk for me. I have both. I enjoy Mac lipsticks. Have you ever tried Twig? It’s one of my favorites!
Twig is one of my favorites as well! 🥰
Mine too. MAC was always my favorite until I got older & tried Charlotte's Pillowtalk- it's just a little creamier than Mac. But I do love MAC still- Twig, Velvet Teddy, Mehr, Taupe & Whirl are perfect nudes.
@@UNREDACTEDTRUTH Try Cream in Your Coffee.
You are so kind. Your outros almost make me tear up! Thank you for this vid. Just a comment, I bought the Charlotte Tilbury pillow talk….I don’t get it. I really dislike the formulation of how it feels on my lips. Ugh. I’m more a gloss person but will stick to my drugstore nudes for lipsticks. Thank you Laura Rae! ❤
Excellent video and very real! Ive been following Hot& Flashy for a long time and recently discovered you. Looking forward to viewing more of your videos!
I have tried alot of lipstick from Lisa Eldridge to Charlotte Tilbury, and the best brand is BK Beauty, in Passion and Inner Beauty. You can wear this as a aging women and look beautful.
Lisa J makes amazing lipsticks!❤️
