Shiseido Rouge Rouge Lipsticks

Enriched with an Hyaluronic Acid Complex, Shiseido's Rouge Rouge lipsticks are supposed to envelop the lips in rich moisture and vibrant color. Available in 16 shades, it's almost impossible not to find the perfect red lipstick for you!

Shiseido Rouge Rouge Lipsticks Review Photos Sweet Desire

The Rouge Rouge lipsticks glide on easily and have a creamy (but lightweight) consistency. The formula is fabulous, it feels smooth and hydrating on the lips! They have great color payoff as well, although not fully opaque.

In terms of staying power, the nude and light coral shades wore well for 3-4 hours while the darker coral and red colors lasted up to 7 hours on me. The formula was a bit too emollient (although not too oily) to be worn without a lip pencil ; I noticed a bit of feathering with the darker shades.

Hushed Tones, Murrey, Burning Up and Sweet Desire settled a bit into lip lines, but it wasn't noticeable from a normal viewing distance.

Compared to Make Up For Ever's Artist Rouge Creme lipsticks, the Rouge Rouge lipsticks are less thick and while most of the shades are super pigmented, they aren't fully opaque like the MUFE lipsticks. Both products are moisturizing and very comfortable to wear, but if you prefer a lighter feel on the lips I'm sure you would enjoy the Shiseido lipstick formula!

Shiseido Rouge Rouge Red Lipsticks Review

I think what I like the most about the Rouge Rouge lipsticks, is how wearable the shades are! (I love bright lipsticks too, don't get me wrong!) Even the corals are muted, less bright than the other coral lipsticks in my makeup collection.

At first glance, you will notice that some of these shades are very similar. It may not be super noticeable, but the undertones are a bit different (cooler or warmer). I added a photo collage at the end of this blog post, in the hope that you will see the differences a bit better!

Out of all these my top five favorites are Sweet Desire, Rouge Rum Punch, Hushed Tones, Poppy and Rose Crush! (Click here to buy one of these lipsticks)
