Hi all! I’d love to ask you about lipstick dupes (I’m not sure that’s the correct term, but please be patient). I have this Maybelline lipstick that I love, it’s the shade “Pink for Me” from their Color Sensational line, this shade is awesome because it adapts perfectly to my skin tone and is perfect for the office. My problem? He smears with the mask. I know there are techniques for everything out there, but the point is I’m a 4 offspring girl, because I’m always preparing for the race. Here is where I would like your advice: Does anyone know if there is a similar shade in the Colorstay range? I asked them and they referred me back to their simulator thing, which is not helpful in telling me if two shades are similar, I can’t compare, and with COVID all around there is no test. Thank you!
I don’t know any dupes, but you could try this technique in the meantime.
Get a tissue, and take one layer off (so it’s 1 ply)fold in half and place into your mouth, pressing it to the lipstick. Once it’s on there dust your tissue lips with translucent powder, slowly peel off the tissue. This “sets” the lipstick, it will be matt but have a bit more staying powder.

Have you tried the dupe finder on Temptalia? I find her website far more reliable than any of the ones on makeup brands websites.
