Anastasia Luna, Sunscape, Venus Lip Glosses Reviews & Swatches

Anastasia Luna Lip Gloss

Luna
Anastasia Luna Lip Gloss ($16.00 for 0.16 oz.) is a light-medium gold with subtle, warm undertones and flecks of silver, white gold, and gold pearl and larger sparkle. As expected based on the brand’s description of the new shade, it had sheer to semi-sheer color coverage with a moderate amount of sparkle paired with a glossy finish. There was a slightly milky quality to the underlying base, but it did not settle as badly in my lips as some of the other shades from the fall shades. The texture was smooth and lightweight, almost creamy, and comfortable to spread over my lips and to wear. This shade wore well for three hours and was lightly hydrating over time.

Anastasia Sunscape Lip Gloss

Sunscape
Anastasia Sunscape Lip Gloss ($16.00 for 0.16 oz.) is a soft, medium coral with warm undertones and pink and gold sparkle and finer shimmer. It had medium coverage, which was more than the other four shades in the range and more than described, but I think the higher coverage might have helped this look better on the lips as a standalone gloss. It settled slightly into my lip lines, but the shimmer, sparkle, and shine made it hard to notice it in person from a normal viewing distance. The gloss did not streak along the edges and had a smooth, mostly non-sticky texture. It lasted for three hours and was lightly moisturizing while worn.

Anastasia Venus Lip Gloss

Venus
Anastasia Venus Lip Gloss ($16.00 for 0.16 oz.) is a soft, yellowed peach base with multi-colored flecks of sparkle and pearl. It had sheer coverage, just as expected based on the brand’s description, and had a moderate amount of sparkle/shimmer that gave the lips a reflective, shiny finish. The gloss applied evenly, but some of the base color settled into my lip lines, though wasn’t as noticeable from a normal viewing distance as the shininess helped hide it. The consistency was smooth, lightweight, spreadable, and mostly non-sticky, which made for comfortable wear over the three hours it stayed on well for.
