Ah, spring. When a young lady’s thoughts turn to… pink lipstick. Bright, springy peach-pink certainly seems to be the color of the season. I feel like I’m seeing it everywhere. So if the color is calling to you, you have a variety of price points, brands, formulas, and variations on shade to choose from.
Lancome Chris & Tell, $29, limited edition (definitely one of the brighter options, at least on my skintone)
Armani Rouge d’Armani Pink 510, $30, permanent
MAC Ever Hip, from Give Me Liberty of London, $14, limited edition
Bobbi Brown Calypso Coral Pot Rouge, $22, limited edition?
Chanel Egerie (additional swatches), $30, permanent
MAC Made with Love, from Colour Craft, $14, limited edition (more pink)
MAC Fresh Salmon (rosier) and Color Me Coral (frosty), from Spring Forecast 2 (Coral), $14, limited edition
YSL Rouge Volupte Tender Peach, $34, permanent (peachier)
MAC Costa Chic, from Euristocrats II, $14, limited edition in the U.S., permanent in Europe (frosty; more pink)
NARS Niagara, $24, permanent (brighter, more red)
Did I miss any?
Great swatches Karla! Do you have one for Rouge d’Armani 510?
Writing that post right now.
Love all those coral swatches! Two more coral lippies I love: Dior Serum de Rouge 730 and Lancome L’Absolu Rouge in Sienna Ultime.
I just wore Niagara yesterday! I didn’t know it was LE
My mistake, Kiu! It’s not — I misread my notes. Sorry to cause you any mental distress.
Wow! That’s a lot of swatching you’ve done. You spoil us, Karla, with all your great pictures. Thanks for the comprehensive review.
This is such a beautiful feature! And exactly what I’ve been looking for – it’s so nice to be able to see all the coral/pink/peach colors together at once. I think my favorites are Lancome’s Chris and Tell (so sad I didn’t jump on it…) and NARS Niagra. Trying to figure out how close Lancome’s new matte lipstick in Corset is too. Aaaand, I have a horrid lemming for Chanel Rouge Coco in Egerie (and Orchidee). I’ve been looking for the perfect peach/coral forever but all the ones I have seem to go too red or too pink? Even the LM Stickgloss in Peach Sorbet I just got is almost a red on me!
So obvious which colors I’m really into right now though, lol. I immediately gravitate to the coral-peach and brightest hot pink of every collection!
You forgot the other Bobbi Brown lipsticks that just came out – Calypso Glaze (metallic) and the three others (can’t think what they are right now, but all creams). But rest of swatches are great!
I’m wondering if we could see Armani 510 and Lancome Chris & Tell side by side. They look pretty similar in the swatches above.
Hey Karla,
First off, love your swatches, as everyone does. And secondly, how would you compare Lancome Chris & Tell l/s to Rouge d’Armani 510? Is there a noticeable difference, irl? Thanks!
i really love this post! thank you!
Thanks for an amazing post!!  I LOVE corals and I’m always on the hunt for my perfect one…my fave MAC Blow Dry was LE (of course) so I’ve been hunting forever…
I love this comparison post you’re amazing!
Thank you for the swatches. I was trying to see how Lancome’s Chris & Tell, Bobbi Brown’s Cabo Coral, and MAC’s Ever Hip compared to one another. This was very helpful.
