I know there is a lot of controversy about Jeffree Star, but there is no denying that his products are so so bomb! I first tried his Liquid Lips about a year ago, and instantly loved it! In this post I'll outline the eight different colours I have, and an overall review.
1. Celebrity Skin
The first Jeffree Star product I ever received. I originally purchased this through makeupnet.com.au but unfortunately they don't stock JS anymore. This colour is a little bit cool toned, a little bit nude, and a little bit brown- it's really VERY cool and very hard to find a similar shade! This is one of the lipsticks that does have that 'Root Beer' scent which is fairly strong, I personally like it, but a lot of people dont.
2. Gemini
I purchased this one on the JS website, as I have for the rest of the products. I bought Gemini on a whim, I knew i wanted Doll Parts (since I missed it in the first release) and i decided to make the 15ish dollar shipping worth it. This colour is stunning, I can't even describe it! Its a really warm toned red-brown, kinda dark peach. Its special since I wore it to my year 12 formal (it matched an icy blue dress- idk how but this lipstick literally goes with everything)- I really really really love this lipstick, I could wear it everyday!
3. Doll Parts
I was on the hunt for my perfect pink lipstick- I love pink lipstick, and i was looking for my perfect, kinda bright, kinda neutral, very everyday and I think I've found it. Although, due to my paper white skin, it comes off quite bright I really do like it! (i also did a blog post using it here)
4. Androgyny
Okay, so this is one of the most sought after lip colours I've ever read about and i really dont know how I feel about it. Its a darkish purple, nudey, brown colour but unfortunately it oxidises to quite a dark purple on me! I do love the colour, and it look stunning on most people (like my best friend, who's got the loveliest olive skin), but I'm still not sure. I cant exactly wear it with cool tones or warm tones but it does look really good with khaki shades on the eyes? I'll keep playing with it
5. Masochist
This was my first bright liquid lip from Jeffree, I do really love bright lip colours, but I've always gravitated to the 'everyday' shades in Jeffree's collection. This colour is stunning, on me it's one of those colours where you can't tell if it's red or pink and i love it! I wore this to work one day and got so many compliments (including a Snow White reference woooow) but nonetheless, this colour is beautiful and opaque!
6. Rose Matter
I have a bit of a problem with Jeffree's newer shades. Both RM and Manniquin are very watery in comparison to an already watery formula and not quite as opaque- very strange. I haven't had a chance to really wear this colour, but peachy/ coral colours are my faves, so I'm sure when I finally get around to wearing it properly I'll post it on some form of social media.
7. Manniquin
Oh my god I think this is my favourite traditional nude shade! I could literally wear this everyday, with any makeup look. On me, its a light, kind of peachy but mostly neutral nude colour. On a median skin tone, this might start to look ashy but I really do like it on myself! This again, is one of the more watery formulas but it only need two swipes of colour to be opaque in comparison with the other shades that only need the one.8. Unicorn Blood
I waited and waited for this shade to come back into stock, purely so I could make this blogpost. This sounds stupid, but my collection looked incomplete without another bright or non-nude shade, and since I've been wanting to try a dark red for a while, and since I love the formula of these so much, it was perfect! I tried it on as soon as I received it and oh my god its perfect, It does need reapply throughout the day but i really don't mind seeing as it is so so so so gorgeous! again, its a deep, brown toned red
Overall: heres a little table of pros on cons for my feelings on the Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipsticks:
