This is so helpful as I am trying to create a short list for my first order. I’d love the velvet ribbon, but worried I might not be able to pull it off. My mom who was born in 1926 never left the house without a red lip. I’m tempted to pick it up in her honor. Many thanks for your videos. 💕

Thank you for this video - great job!

so appreciatethis video!

BRILLIANT video thank you!

Thank you for making this video. I love it. Very helpful.

Brilliant video, thank you

Thank you so much! I am a winter so cold dark brights are my friends. It was interesting that you were able to use Fawn and it looked great on you! Thanks for the review!

Omg! I’m so excited I discovered your channel! I too have a Fair neutral skin tone and this review is so helpful to me! I love Lisa Eldridge lipsticks and this review will help me to pick the shades that are right for me since I can’t see them in person in the USA. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Great video! I think Velvet Rain looks amazing on you!

Really helpful video, thank you! So hard to find swatch videos with someone whose skin tones are very similar to mine. I currently have Velvet Beauty and Velvet Muse, and was vacillating between Bloom and Pompadour for the winter months but, thanks to you, Bloom it is! I also found Velvet Fawn pulled too yellowy on me. Might go for Velvet Rain for the Spring months, too.

Fantastic review! Cinnabar was my favorite. Thank you.

Velvet Cinnabar looks stunning on you. I’ll have to pick that up this fall! I finally snagged Velvet Decade and I’m floored by how beautiful it is. It was so intimidating but I’m glad I got it. It’s MLBB when blotted. The shade I reach for the most is Velvet Blush Lightly. It’s just perfect. ❤

I think my favorite on you is Velvet Carnival! Looks fantastic!

Ty so much for this video 😊😊😊

Hi Maaike, fantastic video! Your reviews on lip products are definitely the best out there, always super helpful. I like Carnival, Ribbon and Midnight (I personally love vampy looks!) the best on you. I still haven’t ordered my first LE lipsticks… I’ll probably do it after summer but it will be from Luxuriously Lucent and Insanely Saturated line. Have a great weekend! x

I really wish I had watched this video before I purchased my first LE lipstick in Skyscraper Rose. I absolutely love the quality, the formula feel, but it's just too hot pink on me. I still try to wear it by putting another brand's deeper red over it, but that defeats the purpose! Thanks for your very informative and helpful videos! Happy 2024 to you!

I’m so happy that you are making these videos. We have similar skin color and undertone just with blue/green eyes here. I’m danish. I really love the same lipstick colors as you. New Wave in saturated is my top favorite from LE. I also love carnival and Ribbon. And the new liquid lipstick in Blush is wonderful as a stain. Not drying. (And by the way. I feel our cultures must be close in some ways. I feel so at home with you. American tutorials are very helpful as well, but here we definitely have common ground. Danes almost never wear makeup, so it’s not easy to find kindred spirits in “our” culture).

@FloatinginDreams

Yes I agree! If you're from a culture where wearing makeup is just about a lick of mascara and maybe a concealer, you stand out the minute you wear an eyeshadow or bold lip. People often don't realize that.

My lips are very intense pink so i know lipsticks especially pinks and corals will go on way more intense on me .. beauty and muse look way darker than intended but that’s fine. Blush is nothing like it’s supposed to be it’s a gothic shade on me 😅😅 even blush lightly is intense plum - but that’s ok I know this can happen with my lip color (which I actually like so no complaints 😂)

Bought Bloom after watching your videos. I love the colour and staying power. I do find it’s a bit drying but the pros out way that con, worn it 3 days in a row x

@FloatinginDreams

10 ай бұрын

I find these to not be drying at all. Tip: apply lip balm when you start doing your makeup. Blot it down with a tissue when you apply lipstick at the end. Ensures hydrated lips while not affecting the wear time.

Every color looked great on you!!

I found that your skin look brighter and clearer when you wear cool/purple tone lipsticks

I was waiting for this video 🥰 enjoyed it so much!! I own all of them too but I am shade 13 of Lisa’s foundation, so I am light/medium with warm undertones. I am jealous of the way Sorcery and Bloom look on you because that’s what I wanted! But Sorcery’s cool mauve undertones make me look like a literal zombie, and Bloom pulls fuchsia on me rather than red-pink as I wanted it to be. Regardless I love them and pull them out on the right occasion :) I’ve realized all my favourite LE shades are “dirty”, nuanced, hard-to-describe shades such as Jazz (my favourite), Enchantment, Cinnabar, Dragon, Muse, Blush… rather than more bright and straightforward ones. Although of course Ribbon is basically as good as it gets in this world. Btw you forgot to swatch my second favourite - Enchantment! 😉 xx

@danilibo7005

Oh and btw I did buy two Velveteens! I am not a fan of liquid lipsticks either but of course Lisa is a magician. I bought Blush and Jazz because they are even darker and vampier than the Velvet versions. What I appreciate most about this new formula is the stunning soft-focus velvet effect which you can only truly appreciate in real life, and the ability to deepen the color by layering. They layers apply super easily, no problem with reapplying after its dry. It does have more longevity than the Velvets however when you eat something oily it fades out less flatteringly than a Velvet would. Because the Velvet will just slightly fade in the center of the mouth without any harsh lines, however with the Velveteen I could really see the line where the liquid lipstick ended and my bare lips began, where the oily food touched in the center. That is probably because I’ve worn them really full-on with a couple layers. I am sure if you wear them blurred as soft stains that doesn’t happen, but I like my lips punchy and vampy 🤷🏻‍♀️. Overall I am very happy with the shades of Velveteen I bought because they do offer me something different as a product than my Velvets do. But I will not be buying every single shade as liquid lipsticks do dry out over time. The True Velvets are my favourite lipstick formula for life ❤

Luv these! I have a few and most are broken. Replaced & broke again. Very frustrating as I’d love to purchase another shade.

Really helpful video, thank you! Could Velvet Bloom be a dupe for MAC Moxie?

I wouldn't know. Moxie is not a MAC shade I am familiar with.

Thanks for this! I've been buying Lisa Eldridge's lipsticks since 2019. I own almost all of them. But it was so fun to watch someone with similar coloring try them on. Until now they never look similar on me than on anyone else. I'm in NYC so always have to buy without trying on. Fawn was my only disappointment. Did you get Velvet Enchantment? I don't own that one and haven't quite decided. Btw, I've never liked liquid lipsticks, but I really like Lisa's Velveteens (they're $27 USD). I bought Blush first, and liked it so much I bought Velveteen Jazz and Dragon as well.

Thank you so much for such a thorough and in depth review of these lipsticks, i love the Velvets too, its my favourite lipstick formula. i want to find a dupe for my favourite Chanel discontinued lipstick rouge coco in No21 named Rivoli and i was wondering if Myth is close to it and now with Duchess i am even more puzzled as to which is closer. i am going to have to get both.🤣

@@FloatinginDreams oh i wasnt expecting you to know i was just hoping to find a dupe, its more of a wine shade so its really hard to figure out through a screen the undertones and nuances but you were very discriptive and that was very helpful thank you.❤

Dis I miss Velvet Enchantment? Well 80-90% of the shades look good in you, you’re a lucky girl! Velvet Pompadour and Beauty were a huge disappointment and flop to me, they don’t look nice in my yellow undertone skin. I have to remind myself not to buy anything with cold undertones again. Velvet Blush Lightly and Rain are probably the coldest my skin undertone can “cope” with. Great video, many thanks ❤

I forgot to buy it! I thought I had all the shades but when I went to link everything I spotted enchantment and was like: whoops I missed that one. It's one of the downsides of buying everything in small batches.

My favorites from the Velvets I own are Muse, Blush and Cinnabar. I said it before, we have very similar coloring. I am a bit deeper (LE shade 7) but also neutral/cool with purply lips. It seems I am a lot more muted though, my undertone neutralizes brown/grey undertones so the muted lipsticks reads pretty bright on me (Cinnabar looks like a deep, true red). I am curious about Velvet Sorcery and Jazz!

No, lipstick doesn't expire that quickly. Unless it's moldy, changes smell/ texture or color your lipsticks can last years. I haven't replaced any of mine.

Any of the deeper shades: Jazz, Duchess and Myth might work. Diva has more brown than all of these though and leans more berry. So Duchess or Myth are probably best as they have the depth and esp Duchess has that hint of purple running through.

Could you please make a video with the Velveteen? I'd like to know how they feel on lips and the difference with the classic ones (I'm not a liquid lipstick person but I'm curious:)

The Catrice Scandalous Matte and Kiko Velvet Passion lipstick ranges both contain dupes. Velvet Duchess isn't wholly unique. Many brands do deeper reds with a berry undertone so it will be easy to dupe.
