I could not have been more excited when these lipsticks landed on my doorstep. The release of Makeup Revolution’s Renaissance Lipstick collection last year was majorly hyped. Costing only £4 with dreamy rose gold packaging these lipsticks are every drugstore lovers dream. As with all Makeup Revolution products they’re also cruelty free. They’ve now released 6 new shades in addition to the 20 existing Renaissance shades and kindly sent me four of them to show you.
I have the shades:
Blended* – pale pink
Higher* – peachy nude
Highness* – berry red
Untouched* – dark plum
As I said above, the packaging of these lipsticks is to die for, I’m such a sucker for rose gold. The lipsticks feel weighty and like they’d cost much more than their £4 price tag. Interestingly Makeup Revolution have varied the packaging from the original Renaissance lipsticks. They added an additional plastic strip along the bottom of each lipstick. I like this for ease of finding the shade you want though I do feel it slightly takes away from the luxurious packaging.
All the lipsticks are super pigmented and have a creamy, very opaque formula. I can’t get over how well they swatch! They’re insanely comfortable on the lips and have a matte but still creamy look. I haven’t found them to be drying which I’m really pleased about.
I think all four shades I’ve tried compliment my pale skin beautifully and although ‘Highness’ is a little brighter than what I’d usually go for and ‘Untouched’ a little darker, I really like them both. ‘Untouched’ in particular is going to be a perfect Autumn shade.
As always the swatches below are unedited and only one swipe to show as true likeness as possible.
Seriously the colour pay off of the Renaissance Lipsticks is amazing! If you haven’t picked up a shade to try yet I’d highly recommend heading to your nearest Makeup Revolution counter or stocking up on TAM Beauty online. They’re well worth the £4 price tag in my opinion!
These swatches and so beautiful, and the packaging is so pretty. Great review! x
Higher and Untouched both look so gorgeous! I definitely need to try more MUR lipsticks – though I probably need to finish up all the non-cruelty free lipsticks I have first haha xx
Great post! Higher reminds me of my favourite lipstick, the Stark Naked by Urban Decay xx

Gosh what a bargain I want to try these now just because I love the rose gold pacakaging.
These look absolutely stunning! They remind me a bit of CT listicks and I can’t believe they’re only £4 each! I’ll defin be picking some of these up soon! Xx
Higher and Untouched both look like my type of shades that Rose Gold packaging totally compliments them. £4 is a bargain & your pics are awesome 😎
I’ve never heard of this brand but I’d love to check them out! Those shades are so beautiful, and I love the gold packaging 😍
These look great and I’m glad they’re not drying.. makes me want to try them.
These look so creamy and soft I’m definetely going to have to pick some up! I’ve always been a fan of makeup revolution too! Love your photos xx
This is my first time hearing about this brand..I love the colours especially the dark plum. Total Charlotte Tilbury vibes as well:)
Blended, Higher and Untouched look like lovely shades! I don’t personally go for brighter pinks so I don’t think I would pick up Highness. I liked your writing style in this post!

Oh my goodness these are absolutely gorgeous! I keep saying I definitely don’t need any more lipsticks but how could you not at that price tag! I’m also a sucker for Rose Gold and the colours seem so so beautiful! I’ve only tried a few Make Up Revolution bits but will definitely have to invest in some more soon!
These look amazing! I love the look of blended! x
