Bobbi Brown Neon Pink Lipstick Review, swatch and Dupe

Bobbi Brown Neon Pink Lipstick

Along with the Atomic Orange Lipstick, Bobbi Brown launched this Neon Pink lipstick in her Neons and Nudes collection. It's a vibrant but wearable pink with a pretty sheen. I can't detect any fragrance although it does smell a touch waxy. For me such a bright lipstick really feels a huge step from Bobbi, however she's made it so it's elegant, not garish and still very wearable. I hope we see more shades like this from her in the future!



I found a few similar colours in my kit, the best match comes from Yves Saint Laurent with it's Rouge Voulpte Lipstick in 10 Provocative Pink. It's almost identical, maybe slightly creamier and hence has a bit more slip so won't last quite as long as Neon Pink. Mac's Quick Sizzle is a touch more blue based and a matte finish.

8 of the Best - Neon Pink Lipsticks



This was a tough post to write. I mean narrowing it down to 8? I could have gone easily to 20!

Bobbi Brown Neon Pink Lip Colour
This is a medium bright pink. Not quite as neon as some of the other lipsticks, but is a much more wearable version. Gives great coverage in one swipe

Barry M 52 Shocking Pink
This is the well known dupe of Mac's Candy Yum Yum. A very bright neon magenta pink. Again excellent colour payoff!

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar "Divine"
A medium-light warm toned corally neon pink. Very unusual colour. You need the tiniest amount of this stuff for great coverage. It also has a soft minty smell.

Chanel Rouge Allure 167 Super
Probably my favourite Chanel lipstick of all time. This is a bright glossy warm pink, but is still neutral enough to suit all skintones. Very pretty and doesn't feel too done! I like the way it doesn't dry out my lips too.

Mac Viva Glam Nicki
A very bright neon yellow pink. Very opaque. Very Barbie like! It's advisable to pop a bit of lip balm on before you use this one! Lovely nonetheless!

Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur 49 Tropical Pink
This is a medium-light neon blue pink. It's got good coverage with a pretty satin finish.

Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte Perle 114 Sparkling Fuchsia
The name says it all really! A bright fuchsia packed with lots of fine shimmer! It also has the sweet mango scent of the Rouge Voluptes!

Kiko Luscious Cream Lipstick 517 Rosa Fluo
This is a light lilacy neon pink colour. Nice and creamy. Excellent value for money!

On to the swatches!
