Makeup Revolution #LIPHUG Lipstick Review + Dupes

 

The #LIPHUG (available here)is described as being "high shine", "long lasting", creating "smooth and sculpted lips".

 

High shine is not exactly how I would describe them, but they do give a very moisturised look to the lips and are by no means matte (although I have worn them matte by dusting a little loose powder over the top).

They are really nicely pigmented allowing you to create the sculpted effect easily without a lip liner, making even the bright colours quick and easy to apply.

The formula is really moisturising and comfortable to wear exactly like the product is 'hugging' your lips as its slightly cringe worthy name suggests, giving a smooth finish and not highlighting dry areas - they smell softly of vanilla too which is a little added bonus.

As far as longevity goes the #LIPHUG gives around 4 hours of wear and fades evenly throughout the day, I was really impressed by how well they lasted through eating too.

Its no surprise to find that this product could be a dupe for the Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick, so I did some research and found some similar shades. The UD Revolution Lipsticks are slightly more long lasting than the Makeup Revolution counterpart, but to say there's a £13 price difference (#LIPHUG: £2.50, UD Revolution: £15.50) to me it's a no-brainer.

 

Here are the shade descriptions and their UD dupes:

 

When you came to me: pale nude rose. UD Revolution dupe: Naked

Save me from yourself: peachy nude. UD Revolution dupe: Naked 2

Love can set you free: dusty pink/mauve. UD Revolution dupe: Strip

Present has no living: bright fuchsia. Slightly less pigmented than UD Revolution: Anarchy

Lets raise the bar: orange coral. No dupe
