Laura Mercier Bright & Burst High Vibe Lip Colors Reviews & Swatches

Laura Mercier Bright High Vibe Lip Color
Bright

Laura Mercier Bright High Vibe Lip Color ($32.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a light, pinky-red with cooler undertones and a satin finish and faint pearl. It seemed slightly less creamy compared to other shades in the line.

  • Opaque pigmentation in one layer
  • Creamy, moderately emollient, lightweight
  • Applied evenly and didn’t emphasize lip texture
  • Long-wearing (5 hours), hydrating

Formula Overview

$32.00/0.05 oz. - $640.00 Per Ounce

The formula is described as having "vivid" color in "one effortless stroke" with "comfortable" wear for six hours. It had a smooth, creamy consistency that was lightweight, moderately emollient, and comfortable to apply and to wear. The formula delivered mostly opaque to full color coverage in one layer, as marketed, though six-hour wear was the aspect it didn't live up to.

It felt like a typical, creamy lipstick formula (I don't say that in a bad way!) so it not lasting six hours wasn't a surprise, but most shades wore well for four hours and were moisturizing while worn. The lipstick applied evenly for the most part, had a more luminous finish (both shine and pearl), and wore for four hours in most cases. The formula felt hydrating while worn.

The biggest downside was the slim packaging only accommodated 0.05 oz. of product, whereas traditional lipsticks contain around 0.10 oz. on average.

Burst

  • Applied evenly and didn’t emphasize lip texture
  • Long-wearing (5 hours), hydrating
