Imagine a world where you could wear a lipstick that magically morphs its color to perfectly match any outfit or mood. No longer would you need a collection of various shades filling your makeup bag, instead, this futuristic lipstick would adapt to your desires and preferences with just a simple swipe. This concept might sound like something out of a science fiction movie, but thanks to recent advancements in cosmetic technology, it might not be too far-fetched. Researchers and beauty experts are constantly pushing the boundaries of innovation, and color-changing lipsticks could be the next big trend in the beauty industry. One possible approach to achieving this magical color-changing effect is through the use of specialized pigments called "chameleon pigments." These pigments have the remarkable ability to change color in response to certain stimuli, such as temperature, pH, or light.
The satin finish glides on smooth for an indelible, feather-proof look. A treat for your lips with kaolin to reduce caking and feathering and keep the colors true on your lips. Encased in a replica Art Deco design case. Shaped into two blunt sides and two sharp edges, use the sharp side to line the lip and the blunt side to fill it in. Our highly pigmented formula can be used full strength or as a stain for a natural look.
Though Magic Pink - 1959 appears blue in our gorgeous gold metal tube, it shifts when applied based on your personal pH to create your own signature shade ranging from light rose pink to darker magenta. The translucent one called Candy Wrapped actually transforms into a delicate pink; the one I have, Play With Me, looks pinky red when twisted up but looks more like a warm pink on me.
" These pigments have the remarkable ability to change color in response to certain stimuli, such as temperature, pH, or light. By incorporating these pigments into lipsticks, cosmetic companies could create products that transform their color based on the wearer's individual needs. For example, if you were heading out for a formal event and wanted to match your lipstick to your elegant black dress, the lipstick could detect the dark hue and adapt to a deep burgundy shade.
These six magic lipsticks are setting our 90s vibe on fire
From brown lipsticks to choker necklaces, the 90s have been making a strong comeback this year. One of my favorite retro beauty trends, though, is a very real kind of makeup magic: color-changing lipsticks! They come in little bullets of green, orange and blue but application on the lips always turned them into more conventional shades of red and pink. Decades later, they still give me the same sense of adventure that I felt as a kid, so I’m glad that brands are offering them once again.
If you’re in the mood for some 90’s nostalgia or in need of a little magic in your kit, we’ve found five color-changing lippies for you to play with!
Ever Bilena Magic Lipstick in Grapes (P80 at department stores)
Color-changing lipsticks tend to take on the same features (like a glossy finish and subtle coloring), so it was a pleasant surprise to see Ever Bilena break the mold in the mood lippie game. For one, the finish of the Magic Lipstick is matte! Because of that, it ended up looking more like lip stain once applied. The shade initially applies as mauvish before turning into a brighter fuchsia. Even the scent of this lipstick was nostalgic - it smelled like the scented stationery I used to collect in grade school! As for staying power, this gave the second longest lasting stain out of the five.
Fran Wilson Moodmatcher in Red (P225 from Beauty Bar)
After swatching several shades from the Fran Wilson collection, it became apparent that not all colors yielded the same results. Particularly, Red and Purple had the most stain-producing capabilities so I decided to go for the Red one. It already has regular red pigments, in addition to the color-changing stuff. It comes out as a pinkish red with subtle shine, and a finish that reminds me of Bonne Belle Lip Smackers from back in the day. This lipstick left the most pronounced and longest lasting stain in the group. The arm swatches took a day to come off!
Lip Ice Sheer Color Fragrance Free Lip Moisturizer (P145 at department stores)
With the most slippery-smooth glide on the lips, Lip Ice makes it easy to apply and layer the product to your heart’s content. True to its name, the clear balm turns into a sheer wash of light pink with a high-shine finish that flatters naturally pigmented lips. The level of pigmentation is noticeable, but could still fall into the no makeup makeup category. It leaves a slight hint of a stain in its wake. It’s also available in shimmer and strawberry-scented variants.
MAC Tendertalk Lip Balm in Play With Me (P1,250 at MAC)
The Tendertalk Lip Balm is certainly more balm than lipstick, and the sheer color pay off leaves no room for debate. The translucent one called Candy Wrapped actually transforms into a delicate pink; the one I have, Play With Me, looks pinky red when twisted up but looks more like a warm pink on me.
Tendertalk balms count as one of the firmer, drier lip balm formulas, so it doesn’t melt on the lips upon application. You don’t need to apply a lot to get sufficient moisture though, and layering it on doesn’t do much to deepen the color either.
Lipstick Queen Frog Prince (USD25 at lipstickqueen.com)
Never has a green lipstick looked so luxe! Lipstick Queen was able to market this product in a way that tapped into the fairytale-mode of romantics. The color may be unusual but the effect is what has earned it raves and 93% rating on Temptalia. It appears to be the sheerest and least pigmented in my arm swatches but the change is more evident on the lips. My pout takes on a rosier tint combined with soft shine. The lipstick can also be layered on for more coloring.

On another day, when you're feeling adventurous and want to try a bold and vibrant lip color to go with your summer outfit, the lipstick could shift to a vibrant orange or hot pink. The possibilities are endless. This color-changing lipstick would not only revolutionize the way we approach our makeup routines but also offer a more sustainable option for beauty enthusiasts. Instead of buying multiple lipsticks in different colors, you would only need one that can adapt to any situation. This could help reduce waste and promote a more eco-friendly approach to cosmetics. Of course, developing a lipstick that can magically morph its color is no easy task. It would require extensive research and development to perfect the formula and ensure it is safe for use on the delicate skin of the lips. Additionally, other factors such as longevity, comfort, and texture would need to be considered to create a truly exceptional product. Despite the challenges, the idea of a color-changing lipstick is an exciting prospect. It would bring a new level of innovation to the beauty industry and offer consumers a fun and versatile option for their lip color needs. While it may be some time before we see this concept become a reality, the future of makeup looks brighter and more colorful than ever before..
Reviews for "The Ultimate Lip Duo: Lipstick and Lip Stain in One with Color-Morphing Formulas"
1. Sarah - 1 star
I was really disappointed with this lipstick. It claims to magically change color, but it just didn't deliver. The color looked nothing like the pictures and didn't change at all once applied. On top of that, the formula was very drying and uncomfortable to wear. Definitely not worth the hype.
2. John - 2 stars
I had high expectations for this lipstick, but unfortunately, it fell short. The color did change slightly, but it was very subtle and hardly noticeable. The formula was also not long-lasting and came off easily, requiring frequent touch-ups throughout the day. Overall, I was not impressed with this product.
3. Emily - 2 stars
I was excited to try this lipstick for its unique concept, but it just didn't work for me. The color change was hardly noticeable and looked different on my lips compared to swatches. Additionally, the lipstick had a weird smell and a waxy texture that made it uncomfortable to wear. I wouldn't recommend this product to others.
