Lipstick Queen

Not really a nude shade at all but a deep peachy (think of the red blush on a nectarine) brown like coral that can look more red on the lips. Would consider again but for me a ‘going out ‘ or I 'need something red on my lips because of my outfit' lipstick. My skin tone leans towards warm yellow/peach undertone. Moisturizing and can blot 2x for a more natural look. No scent yay! Nice sturdy packaging, clicks right in place. Think I found my new HG brand of l/s. *Heavens open up and the angels sing* I originally bought because I thought it would be a deeper nude but not this dark. Still a nice shade but the name is misleading. Would purchase again if I needed a 'red' color. This reminds me a little of Revlon Blushing Nude .

The formula is really nice - slightly creamy, slightly sheer - unfortunately the colour leans too cool on me and makes me look ill.

This is a first impression review. First off I bought this at a discount on a online retailer just in case I wasnt impressed with the color etc. This is my first LQ purchase and so far think I m already in Love with this line. I bought this in the Sheer formula. There are three. Intense (full coverage) Sheer, and Metal (deep shimmer). The sheer is very nice on its own a deep berry shade. It went on very smooth,moisturizing and even though I usually avoid dark lipsticks this can be used as a topper. I dare say this could replace my Givenchy black buildable lipstick which is nice but really expensive and I could do without the slight floral scent. The LQ is more intense in color (later will post pics) than the Givenchy Noir(#16) -more sheer with one swipe and seems when I compare it side by side with the Givenchy will become a little warm/neutral in tone. Works well with my lipliners and again as a topper too. I hope LQ does not discontinue because this is a winner for me. ♥️♥️👄💄👄 Love the sturdy packaging. Update: noticed the side of the lipstick leaning in its stand. I believe this has to do with the softness of the bullet. it started 2 weeks after I started using it. Will post pictures later. Still love the color but I think maybe the co should consider redesigning the case to allow for the softer texture. I will probably have to put this in my 'fridge as it gets hot in the summer and my m/u has sometimes gone bad faster.
