Smashbox Level Up & Stepping Out Be Legendary Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Level Up
Smashbox Level Up Be Legendary Prime and Plush Lipstick ($24.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a light, rosy brown with soft, warm undertones and a cream finish. The texture was smooth, moderately creamy, and lightweight without being too thin.
It had opaque pigmentation in one layer, but the color gravitated toward my deeper lip lines; it wasn’t noticeable in person until after two hours into the three-and-a-half-hour wear time. The formula was comfortable and lightly moisturizing to wear.

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.

Stepping Out
Smashbox Stepping Out Be Legendary Prime and Plush Lipstick ($24.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a muted, light-medium rosy brown with soft, warm undertones and a cream finish. It had opaque color payoff paired with a lightly creamy, smooth consistency that wasn’t too firm in the tube, so it glided across my lips with ease. It stayed on nicely for four hours and felt lightly hydrating over time.
