r/justlipsticks

I'm trying to help a friend rebuild her vanity and she wants to have lipsticks that are cruelty free and not harmful for the skin.

Could you please suggest brands that are good?

Why do I love this lipstick so much? Because it has made me believe that I too can get the rosy luxe nude lippie effect, even on my pigmented lips 💕

I have reviewed it in detail, frankly speaking on why it was a skill issue (on brands' part) and not a lip pigmentation problem that such lippies were not available for dark lips all this time - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/9U0WDQCxcDg

I’m not calling this a dupe for any particular luxe lipstick. I’m talking about the overall experience—the lightweight, luminous, effortless aesthetic that is usually associated with luxury sheer lipstick ranges. Though tbh, London looks quite close to the 4500rs Chanel coco flash range!

Really have to appreciate the fact that Insight a budget brand has given us a paisa vasool product, if you've always wanted this look but the cost stopped you from buying those insanely expensive brands.

Finally, pigmented lips can also have the sheer luxe nude look 🥲

Hi all,

Behold London by Insight Hydra Luxe range - the lipstick that gives the expensive sheer lippie effect even to medium skin tone and dark lips! Pic swatch below and video swatch at https://www.youtube.com/shorts/XYpA63Ayc-Q - Don't miss watching the reel, I will upload a detailed voiceover review of this shade and range tomorrow, stay tuned 🫶

I am so tickled pink (pun intended!). This is the first time I've ever gotten this luxe nude look from a lipstick - usually the expensive sheer lipsticks look like de@th on my pigmented lips - and I'm extra stoked that it is an Indian brand that has managed to make a shade that not only looks great on my skin tone, it also covers the two toned parts of my lips.

Say what you may, budget brands in India are just KILLING it when it comes to shades suitable for pigmented, two toned lips 🫰London looks so much like Chanel's Coco Flash range, I have compared it side by side, see how close they are? If you want to know how the actual chanel 54 BOY looks on me - which is corpse grey lmao, literal morgue lips! - check out https://www.youtube.com/shorts/y73iBhIxr5o

I know the shade looks a bit mauvy on my lips, but that's because the lippie joined hands with the natural purple-based pigmentation of my lips... all it takes is a warm pink lip liner to remove that!

Random fact - I did my higher studies in London and visit every year, it's one of my fav cities on earth, so a lipstick named London is extra special for me. No wonder I stocked up, lol.

MRP at ₹359 and available on official site, but cheaper on Amazon at ₹250 - https://amzn.to/4aRWuSw

I'd highly suggest buying the lipstick before it gets sold out!
