Beauty Care: Smashbox Recognized & Out Loud Be Legendary Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches

Recognized

Smashbox Recognized Be Legendary Prime and Plush Lipstick ($24.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a darker peach with warm, yellow undertones and a cream finish. It had a smooth consistency that had moderate slip and seemed a touch thicker than other shades in the range, though not heavy to wear.

The lipstick had opaque color coverage in a single stroke, which went on evenly, but I had a bit of product pull into my deeper lip lines. The settling wasn’t noticeable until after three hours of wear. It wore closer to or four hours overall and was lightly hydrating over time.

Formula Overview

$24.00/0.14 oz. - $171.43 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have a "creamy" texture with "rich, pigment-packed color." The textures were smooth, creamy with light slip, and comfortable to apply in a fluid motion as they did not tug. Some shades were more satiny in their creaminess, while a couple felt more emollient and would likely benefit from a lip liner for better wear, though I did not experience any shades feathering/bleeding on me.

The pigmentation was semi-opaque to opaque with more shades being closer to opaque than not. They were typically buildable and weren't prone to emphasizing lip texture or gathering in my deeper lip lines. The lipstick wore between four and six hours and was hydrating while worn.

The formula had a faint, sweet vanilla scent but no discernible taste. I almost thought it was fragrance-free when I first tried to smell it as it was that faint.

Out Loud

Smashbox Out Loud Be Legendary Prime and Plush Lipstick ($24.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a rich, medium copper with strong, warm undertones and a cream finish. The color payoff was intense with full coverage delivered in an even, single stroke.

The texture felt smooth, lightly creamy without being too slippery, which made for an easy application of color. It stayed on nicely for five hours and felt lightly moisturizing while worn.
