L'oreal Color Caresse Shine Stains: Lip Swatches




As promised, here are the swatches of the L'oreal Shine Stains on my lips. Just a couple of things to note, Lilac Ever After is browner than Pink Resistance on the lips but there is a peach undertone to both. Rose On and On is a neutral pink, while Pink Rebellion is slightly brighter and warmer. Coral Tattoo is a clear bright orange shade, its almost neon in certain angles. Endless Red pulls deeper on my lips than how it looks on the tube. Infinite Fuchsia and Berry Persistence are similar if only one layer is applied. Add another however, and Infinite Fuchsia becomes decidedly brighter in comparison. I had to settle for a stained swatch of Berry Persistence since my lips were starting to hurt from repeatedly re-applying it. The rest were 2 coats and all were applied using the wand. I found using a lip brush difficult with this formula. 

Hope this helps! Thanks for stopping by :)

  2. awesome swatches. I just got the Lilac Ever After today but haven't tried it yet. They look like they have amazing staying power. I swatched on my hand and it won't rub off.

    1. Some are definitely close, my lips are pigmented so the lighter shades tend to look similar. Ymmv ofc.

  4. Thank you for swatches! However, I agree that your lips are pretty pigmented, which is why the difference between the shades might not be as obvious on you. These are sheer but definitely buildable. I own 4 and they are soo unique and lovely! My favorite new release by L'Oreal.

    1. Agree that these are 'sheer but definitely buildable' Ami. I love that there is a cheaper but comparable alternative to the GS.

  5. Gorgeous swatches! It's so interesting how different these look on you vs. me (a lot of them are much lighter and brighter on me; my name links directly to my swatches if you would like to see the difference.

    1. Thanks Emi :) I saw your post and swatches on these, they were (and still are) very helpful. I'm always so jealous of ppl with lighter and less pigmented lips. I can never tell how a lip color will show up on me!
