  • Will a dupe look the same on me?

    Color is only part of it. Finish and formula change how a shade reads on your lips, so a matte and a gloss in the same color can look different. Every match lists its finish and format so you can compare like with like.

  • Why is a cheaper lipstick the top match?

    Ranking uses measured color only, never price or brand. A $$ product can be the closest match to a $$$ one.

  • Is anything sponsored?

    No. Nothing here is sponsored or hand-picked, and discontinued shades are left out.
