Edward's Best Rouges à Lèvres Classique

Edward's Best, a blockbuster lip palette, features eight lip colors in Edward's signature creamy formula, including six of his classics plus two limited-edition shades. The master of lip color has unveiled his bestselling lipsticks in a palette that pays homage to his famed Ultra Slick Lipstick. "Kiss and tell the difference with this super-creamy, hydrating formula that drenches your lips in a satin veil of rich, vibrant color. Achieve precise application every time with a full-size lip brush and a huge mirror (signed by Edward) for touch-ups on the go."

This set contains eight gorgeous lip colors.
  • Nude Lotus
  • Pure Impulse
  • Rose Demure
  • Tender Love
  • Candid Affair (limited edition)
  • Jasmine Blossom (limited edition)
  • Deep Lust
  • Midnight Bloom
It's worth every penny of the $75 I paid for it at Sephora. I love this palette. It's such a 180 from his Baby Pink Lip Palette, which was a bright, pastel pink teen queen in my opinion.

Edward's Best is much prettier than it looks at Sephora's Web site (shown at the top of this feature). My photo directly above shows the brilliant variety of vivid colors in the palette - from nude to red.

I took swatch photos in full sunshine, starting on the top row of the palette, moving from left to right as I swathed down my arm. Then I swatched the second (bottom) row in the same way. I used a sponge-tipped applicator to apply the colors. I didn't want to get the pretty lip brush that comes with the palette all goey.

The photo directly above shows the following shades, starting at the top and moving down: Nude Lotus, Pure Impulse, Rose Demure, and Tender Love. I wouldn't kick any of these shades off my vanity.

The photo directly above shows the bottom row of the palette: Candid Affair at the top, Jasmine Blossom, Deep Lust, and Midnight Bloom. Midnight Bloom is a stunningly wearable red. Like the top row, the bottom row is a super-hit.

Lip colors in palettes are not my favorite; I prefer lipsticks. However, I will be making an exception for Edward's Best. It spans a rainbow of lip colors - all of which I love. What a superb palette! I don't think I need to describe these shades. Their colors are evident in my photos.

You can find it at Sephora, Bergdorf Goodman, and select Neiman Marcus stores. Eight Edward Bess Ultra  Slick Lip Colors for $75 is a steal.
