Hey guys,
After recently obsessing over liquid lipsticks, I thought I'd do a comparison over three brands. Everyone's loving liquid lipsticks at the minute due to their intense colour payoff. The three brands I'll be comparing are MAC, Colourpop & Dose of Colors. All three brands I absolutely adore so I'll be completely honest.
L-R: MAC 'Dance With Me', Colourpop 'Bad Habit' & Dose of Colors 'Bare With Me'
Packaging: There's a clear winner when it comes to the packaging, Dose of Colors has a gorgeous frosted glass tube with their simple logo, I think this one looks the most expensive of the three. Second will have to be MAC, I love how they've included their classic black bullet lid. Last would be Colourpop, it's not that I don't like this packaging, but I prefer the smaller tubes.
Colour Pigmentation: This will have to be a tie between Dose of Colors & Colourpop. Both beautiful colours which only need one coat on the lips. I don't know whether it's because the MAC is a dark colour, but I find this can dry quite patchy in places, although once applied it lasts all day.
Applicator: my favourite here will have to be the MAC applicator, it's the perfect shape to get into the outer corners of the lips & get the perfect cupids bow, with the pointed edge. The other two have just the standard shaped applicator, which I find a little harder to fill the lips perfectly.
Quality & Price: All these liquid lipsticks are of high quality, but I find the one which stands out because of its texture is Dose of Colors, it's a lovely moussey consistency which is non-drying, nor tacky. The cheapest of the three is Colourpop which is $6, then Dose of Colors £14.50 & then MAC £21.
Overall: I was most excited about the Colourpop as you're unable to get these in the UK at the minute, & being from the UK I'm so jealous of what we're missing out on. But my favourite has to be the Dose of Colors, due to the fact I love the colour & it lasts for hours! Close second is Colourpop, this would of been my favourite if I'd had bought a more wearable colour for everyday wear, but if you ever get a chance to try one of these I totally recommend them! And last is MAC, I think it's because I bought a darker colour which dries patchy, but I'd still repurchase this product in a more nudey colour.
