Jem and the Holograms Truly Outrageous Liquid Lip Set ($25) is a limited-edition five-piece liquid lipstick set inspired by the colors represented in the live action movie, with nods to the original cartoon. Check out my swatches, comparisons, and how to score a set of your own!
Shades and comparisons
1. Fashion And Fame is an iridescent pink with very heavy sparkle. Consider Fashion and Fame the topcoat of the set, unless you just want to wear it alone. Fashion And Fame gives the other shades some well-needed moisture and shine if you are not into matte lipsticks. This shade did not streak when applied.
2. Like A Dream is a dusty toned rose with a matte finish.
Comparable shades include NARS Montego Bay, NARS Pure Matte Tonkin, Bobbi Brown Mauve, NYX Heiress, Kat Von D Lolita.
3. Music Is Magic is a warm toned neon pink with a matte finish.
Comparable shades include MAC Show Orchid, Jeffree Star Prom Night, Maybelline Vivid Rose, OCC Anime.
4. She’s Got The Power is a deep eggplant toned shade with a matte finish.
Comparable shades include Milani Matte Glam
5. To The Rescue is a deep raspberry toned shade with a matte finish.
Comparable shades include NYX Aria, Kat Von D BauHau5
Overall thoughts
Overall this is a solid set of liquid lipsticks with that coveted matte finish we are all looking for right now. Like a Dream, She’s Got The Power and Music Is Magic are my picks. My thoughts of Fashion And Fame are neither here nor there. Since diving into the matte trend, I just don’t reach for glosses much. To The Rescue is beautiful, but it ages me.
All the shades can be worn in one application, but are buildable with an extra coat for deeper pigmentation. The first coat is somewhat full coverage, but has the potential to streak.
Is it black girl friendly?
Absolutely. Every single shade works well with deeper skin tones. Even Music Is Magic.
