My collection of lipsticks. (Indoors, no flash)
Close ups of the lipsticks, ordered by similar shades. (Indoors, no flash)
And now, in no particular order, swatches of each shade with comparisons to lipstick color and application/pigmentation color. I would say all these pictures are with roughly 1.5 coats of lipstick. Haha. Both of these formulas were really creamy and smooth to apply, especially the Holika Holika ones. They also have a nice sheen to them and don't sink into any of my lip lines or make my lips look dry; I know that it's difficult to tell from these pictures. Also, all these photos were shot indoors sans flash.
This came out surprisingly more pink than I expected. I still like it though. :)
This is my "my lips but better" shade! Haha.
Holika Holika's RD808 and RD807 look pretty different in tube, but for some reason show up similarly on application. I even had to double check that I was tagging the right picture! Lol.
If you were planning on shopping from both collections and didn't want dupes, I created this color comparison chart. That being said, be mindful that if your natural lips are lighter, darker, or a different tone than mine, the lipsticks might come out slightly different on you.
Here are the lipsticks swatched on my arm. As you can see, Etude House's RD302 comes out slightly warmer on my lips than my arms. For reference, I have a neutral undertone, but prefer warmer shades.
