Wowowow thank you for this incredibly thorough review!

I have been searching for a red lipstick that works well with my skin tone and undertone for most of my adult life. I've gone through so many iconic and popular red lips only to be disappointed. I was pleasantly surprised when I came across Power. I've never had much luck with cool toned red lipsticks but this just looks so well on my skin. I do feel like a sophisticated, powerful woman when I wear it. Thank you, Merit!

I’m so happy that these are generally warmer! I still can’t decide which I want first but it looks like a no-lose situation. Thanks for being so informative!

So excited that you shared your thoughts! I couldn’t wait and I bought the four pack! I was initially a little disappointed with two of the shades, Classic and Antibes. For context, I am a light brown skinned Latina. Those two were a little bit too light for me. But Antibes quickly became my everyday shade and after this video, I followed your instructions and just did a single swipe of Classic on my lips and I like how that looks, so I’m back in for all four shades. Power looked great and Maison were favorites right away! Glad I got the set! I’m looking forward to buying more! I already have about few of the satin shades and I love those too! I think Court is next on my list!

Hi Jeannette, your comment is very useful for me as I’m also Latina in light/light medium skin tone with warm/yellow undertones so it’s hard to picture those colours on me. Some definitely look better in winter time as I become quite pale however the yellow undertone change everything so I don’t know. I put my eye on Maison, Sunday and Classic however they might be too pinkish and light respectively. I don’t know. I’ll keep watching reviews before making a decision. Saludos

I couldn't wait for this video-but VERY glad I did! I was eyeing Maison, but since I already have L'avenue and Bond Girl, I think I'll hold off. Thank you so much for doing both shade and formula comparisons! It was super helpful. Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip still wins best matte formula for me! (On a similar Maison/L'avenue/Bond Girl note: I've been eyeing Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip in Telluride, swatched it in store yesterday next to Bond Girl, and found it to be very similar! It's funny when a specific color family steals your heart without you noticing. 😂)

Yay Christine! I'm so glad this shade range was such a hit for you 😄👏 I'm very cool toned and love them all as well! A couple of the shades (like Antibes or Equestrian) just look best as a sheer wash on me x

I picked up La Maison as soon as it came out and I love it! Not surprising as I’ve worn CT Bond girl for so long I can’t remember when I started. I also love so many of these formulas as I am a lip junkie. I have light to light/medium olive skin (in summer) with pretty pigmented lips so none of the lighter colors work on me without a very pigmented liner. They make me look dead. I prefer neutral colors, meaning not warm and not cool. Rosy browny tones with medium depth being my favs. I wish merit would come out with some more pigmented shades of their existing colors. Like CT did with pillow talk medium and deep. Original PT makes my lips disappear, whereas PT medium is perfect. So deeper neutrally tones in a variety of colors is my vote. I’ll buy them all!

Got my 3 yesterday - Antibes, Classic and Court. I agree, lovely light texture but surprising staying power (Antibes lasted for hours on me today and no other lipsticks really do, apart from the new MAC matte, which is a completely different look). I have a very fair slightly warm olive skin tone and Antibes seems a perfect nude for me. Warms up my face perfectly without being obvious. Love it.

Hi Matilda, I own one of the satin lipsticks from Merit in the shade Tiger. It's been over a year, and the lipstick has started smelling slightly off. No change in performance though. Hence checking if you or anyone else has experienced the same. Will be a shame if it has gone bad

Hi there! Oh no, that doesn't sound right. I haven't experienced a change of smell with any of my Signature Lip Satins. I'm not sure what the exact shelf life is for the formula, so maybe it's worth reaching out to their customer care team? 💄 x

So many great makeup and skincare brands / products unavailable in Australia 😭

Oh man I really want to try them but I’m still not sure which color to go for. I was hoping for one of the new nudes to be similar to Baby (my top favorite lipstick shade ever) but none of them seem similar in color 😢 perhaps I should try one of the reds since I don’t have any Merit red in my collection other than L’avenue…perhaps Vermillion since I never got to try Apperitif?

Reporting back Lulu! 👋 Unfortunately I don't have Velvet Pompadour to compare, but I can confirm that Muse and Affair aren't close Lisa sisters for Maison - Muse is a little lighter and more rosy, and Affair is further off because it's more brown-toned. The berry tones of Maison actually make it much closer to something like Velvet Blush, but it's almost as if Muse and Blush had a baby to soften it slightly? Hope that makes sense! x

I have Boss Pink in the new Bobbi Brown Luxe Matte formula. I am usually not a fan of Matte lipsticks but this is not drying and I love the finish and durability. I add Lilac in the BB Crushed Lip colour for touch ups during the day in the office and love the feel of the combo. I found the original Merit Signature lipsticks drying and I prefer the CT KISSING formula to the Matte so I will be giving this a miss despite the gorgeous colours. I can at least test BB in store in South Africa unlike CT and Merit which is purchased online so mistakes are costly.
