Make Up For Ever launched a whole new line of lipsticks called the Artist Rouge Lipsticks. The line features 45 new shades with two finishes (cream and matte) and the formula is described as intensely pigmented while being ultra creamy and non drying. The new improved formula has 25 percent more pigment than their original Rouge Artist lipsticks which makes the new line ultra pigmented.
Having an unique pointed bullet makes for a super precise and easy application while the lipstick feels very comfortable on the lips and doesn’t bleed or feather.
The line has an amazing range of shades and colors for every skin tone. They feature beautiful every day nudes but also have some crazy fun shades like blue and green.
I received six shades from the Artist Rouge Lipstick collection, two of them being a collaboration that they did with the electro pop duo Icona Pop. The velvety matte red in M401 was Caroline’s choice and Aino chose a creamy dark blue in C603.
The other four shades that I got are: C105 (Grege Beige in creamy finish), C211 (Rose Wood in creamy finish), C502 (Taupe Violet in creamy finish) and C506 (Dark Purple in creamy finish).
Both the cream and matte formula felt very comfortable on the lips. They glide very easy on the lips and pack full on pigment with just one swipe. The lipsticks have a slight fruity smell but nothing that’s overpowering and that would bother even the people who are sensitive to smell.
The formula of the cream finish lipsticks reminds me of the Nars Audacious Lipsticks so if you’re a fan of those you’ll love the MUFE Artist Rouge Lipsticks. They’re creamy but not as creamy that they slide or move around through the day. The lasting power is also really nice for a cream finish lipstick, it lasted me around 5 hours before I needed to touch up.
The matte formula is matte but still very comfortable to wear and doesn’t dry out your lips through the day. The pigmentation is just awesome with both formulas, you literally need one swipe to get full on pigment.
Swatches of the Make Up For Ever Artist Rouge Lipstick L to R: C105, C211, C502, M401, C506, C603
If I have to pick favorites from the shades that I got I would go with C105 (a really nice light nude with beige undertones), C211 (a mauve shade that’s perfect for every day) and C506 (a berry shade which is my go-to for fall).
The Make Up For Ever Artist Rouge Lipsticks are available at Sephora and makeupforever.com and they’re priced at $22.
