I recently got my hands on the new Fabulous Felines (Palace Pedigreed) MAC of Royalty lipstick. At first sight, I thought this is exactly like MAC Saint Germain. Here they are side by side:
They look different on the tube, but they swatch very similar. They are both a blue pink. As finish goes, Saint Germain is Amplified Creme and Of Royalty is a cremesheen. They are both very creamy and very pigmented. Saint Germain has more blue undertones than Of Royalty making Of Royalty a more wearable Saint Germain. I personally wear Saint Germain by simply tapping it on my lips or using a lip brush to sheer it out and then apply either a clear gloss or a yellow pink gloss over it. I wear Saint Germain all the time, and it's one of my favourite pinks. I like Of Royalty but Saint Germain has a little something extra that makes me like it even more.
Do you have Saint Germain or another bold pink lipstick that you love?
Hope you all had an amazing week.
The swatch is similar indeed!So if I wont catch it I'll go for the S. GErman!!!Thanks hun!

ReplyDelete@ siwing - Of Royalty is def softer in color. xx
ReplyDeleteThose do swatch closer than they look in the tube, but both are lovely colors...I think I would lean towards MAC of Royalty for it's warmer pink tone! :)

Very pretty colors! I have YSL Pure Lipstick №22, it's similar to Saint Germain, plus it has a great staying power :)
ReplyDeleteOf Royalty looks beautiful might have to try it S.Germain looks odd on my skin tone but I do prefer the finish.
ReplyDeleteOoh both are very pretty =) Two bright pinks that I'm liking right now are Revlon Matte in Pink Pout and Maybelline Color Sensational in Pink Me Up ♥

I like the Saint Germain more, but both look really nice.
ReplyDeleteI have saint germain and love that color. I find it so hard to wear though. I feel like I have to match my overall makeup and even the colors of the clothes im wearing... some colors just dont go with it; or is it a mental thing?
ReplyDeleteI love saint germain :)
