Azana was wonderful. She was kind, helpful, and brought so much energy to the appointment. Her good vibes made the experience so fun and special. The product itself was soft and the color was exactly what we wanted it to be. Overall this was an amazing experience. read more

We went to Lip Lab yesterday and it was such a cool experience! I made both a lip balm and a lip gloss, and even learned a few things along the way. Aria was our consultant and she was incredibly knowledgeable--she gave great suggestions on what works best with your skin tone, which made the whole process even better. This would be such a cute idea for a bachelorette party or even just a girls' day out! read more

I went to the Lip Lab in Soho years ago but didn't make anything. I remebered when this location opened in Williamsburg and opted to gift this experience to someone. Naturally I made a reservation for myself too. For our Lip Lab experience, I made a reservation for Lip Layers which included a custom liptick and a custom lip gloss. When we got to our reservation we basically had the place to ourselves. Right before we arrived, a private party was ending. I didn't know what I wanted to create but ultimately for the lipstick I wanted to recreate one of my favorite Kat Von D colors. To start off your reservation you meet with an employee who explains the experience. First you choose your shade then choose your finish (satin, balm, matte or sheer), add choose your scent (mango, vanilla, peppermint, pomegrante and rose), after that choose your case (sage, penny, copper etc). For the last step, you name your product and they engrave it. I love my products. Great size and value. The product is long lasting. You won't be disappoinnted. This was fun. The staff was really helpful and friendly. I loved how they work with you to get your perfect color. In the event that you want to order again, they give you a card with your fomula. Lastly if you don't want a customized item they sell ready made item likes from lip care, lip liner, lip stick, lip balm, blur cheek sticks and brushes.

Had the best time w/ my 3 girlfriends on our field trip...LOL! I thought this would be a fun activity. I didn't want to dinner or brunch, b/c we always do that. We like make-up so thought why not. We each made a lipstick and two of us made a cheek stick. Brianna and the other worker I'm blanking on her name b/c I'm old. Beautiful Black woman were super attentive and fun to create with. They had us laughing and were so helpful. Definitely who you want to work with. I now have my everyday blush and my vampy lip for fall! read more

Celebrated my birthday here and loved how pretty it was decorated. I came with my 3 best friends and everyone left with 1 lippie and i left with 3. 1 lip balm & 2 lipsticks. My friends chipped in and got me one of them and i got the others for myself. I love that you can pick the colors and the names of your lipsticks. I want to come back to make a lipgloss and matte lipstick. The only reasons i gave it 4 stars is i felt a bit rushed by the staff member. I wanted a true brownish nude lipstick but was not liking the colors and settled for a color i liked but didn't love. Mostly bc i felt rushed. The pink and coral colors were more spot on. I wanted matte but they recommended satin and i went with that instead. Another issue is there's no restrooms. We traveled from the Bronx to this location and def had to use the bathroom and couldn't. We each had to walk to Whole Foods to use the restroom there. read more

I scheduled my Lip Lab Brooklyn appointment the same day, completely on a whim. It wasn't even on my radar, but I decided to check it out, and I'm really glad I did. When I arrived, there were three other people already there. Around my check-in time, the artist assisting me came out, and my station was already set up. I knew going in that I definitely wanted a lipstick and that I wanted to add color, so I was able to skip a couple of the usual preliminary steps, which made everything feel efficient without feeling rushed. The person I worked with was patient and genuinely helpful. Even the artist who was winding down her time with another guest stepped in to help me fine-tune my shade. Between the two of them, I was able to land exactly where I wanted to be, and that collaborative energy really elevated the experience. The process itself was quick but exciting. Watching them mix the colors right in front of me -- seeing the formula soften, blend, and then get poured -- was such a unique, hands-on moment. It made the final product feel personal in a way that you don't get from grabbing something off a shelf. In terms of the space, much of the experience happens at high-top tables with stools. Because of that, I did find myself wondering how they would handle an accessibility-focused situation, especially for anyone who may need seated, lower, or more adaptive options. There is seating along the back wall, which seems to function more as a waiting area rather than part of the active creation process. There's also a designated place to hang up your jacket, which I appreciated. One thing to note: there is no bathroom on site. They do let you know upfront, and they suggest stopping by the nearby Whole Foods if you need to use the restroom before or after your appointment. After creating my lipstick, I chose my case customization and was on my way. I really appreciated how streamlined everything was -- especially for those moments when you want something specific and just can't quite find it anywhere else. I paid $65 for the lipstick, and I'd recommend checking online beforehand to see if they're running any specials, since that could bring the price down. I also think this would be a great experience for a birthday or small gathering. You can bring a few of your people and make lipsticks, lip glosses, or blushes together. They're also mindful of sensitivities -- you can go unscented -- and there's a nice variety of casing options to choose from. Overall, it felt creative, efficient, and thoughtfully done -- definitely something I'd recommend. read more

Are you ready for the 411? Here we go...My daughters gave me a gift certificate to Lip Lab for Christmas, and I decided to use it during a well-deserved ME day! I wasn't sure what to expect beyond creating my own lipstick, but I knew it would be fun. Upon entering Lip Lab, I was warmly greeted by Anaya and Christian. Anaya got me started right away, walking me through the process step by step. I chose my colors, scents, case style, and even had my case engraved. Christian suggested a cheek stick color I was initially skeptical about--but it turned out to be fire! Anaya encouraged me to step outside my comfort zone and experiment with different shades, while also sharing tips to help my products last. The entire experience was fantastic, and the cost was very reasonable for everything you receive. While I used a gift certificate this time, I wouldn't hesitate to return and purchase again when my products run out. Fun, creative, and personalized--Lip Lab is the perfect spot for a solo treat or a group outing. I can't wait to go back, and you should absolutely try it too! read more

When I first saw this place, I told my daughter & her friends about it, and I made it happen- I took them here! The night before, they called me to confirm my appt and said for 3 people, it'll be an hour & a half. They work with each person individually. We arrived about 10 min. early, and got seated @ exactly 3:30 (our appt time). The girls opted for the lip gloss. The mixologists who worked with them were amazing and patient. You get to create your own shade (they mix it to your liking), you get to try it on and see if you like it or not, then you choose a flavor scent, & the best part- you get to name it/ add symbols, choose a font and they engrave it. The girls had a blast customizing their own lip gloss- they loved it! However, it did not take an hour & a half. We left @ 4:10, which is a total of 40 min. from start to finish, and $180 for 3 lip glosses. Not complaining, just saying. Overall, it was such a fun experience. read more

Wonderful experience we had at Lip Lab! We were a group of 5 and went during the afternoon and had the whole place to ourselves. We had 2 lip makers helping us with the color. My lip maker was so attentive, especially with me switching colors back and forth, she was more than willing to try different color tones, I knew I wanted a red undertone, so she was testing between red and blue, red and pink, red and orange. She had a lot of patience with me! Overall, I did end up with a beautiful red and blue color that all my friends agreed were perfect for my skin tone. We then watched her make our lipstick and I got to select the lip stick case and engraved it. What a wonderful experience with your girl friends! Highly recommend! read more

I was here for a birthday party which was hosted in their back room. I don't know what I thought but I thought we were going to make/mix our own lipsticks/gloss. No, they do it for you but rather "help" you find your perfect shade which you get to name. We were a large party (9) so they had 2 people to work the party. Well the girl who helped me wasn't much help at all. I felt rushed. As if I should have came in here already knowing what I wanted so all she had to do was write it down and create it. I ended up with a lip balm color I'm not crazy about and an overpriced lip liner because the minimum you had to spend was $65. It was a cool experience though and I would recommend if this is your sort of thing. Go with a fun crowd to make it worthwhile. Note: use the bathroom before you come here. They do not have one for the public to use. read more

Kicking off Virgo season with a date night! We decided to make our own lipsticks together. He picked a lip balm and loves a gloss with shine on my lips. He customized a blue shade and named it "Pewter," while I named my pink "Patty Cake." The experience was enjoyable, but I don't think it's worth the cost. The assistant was fantastic, and the regional director was present too. Overall, it was fun, but not mind-blowing. read more

Overall Fabulous Experience! I came here on a Thursday with my best friend as an early birthday treat. I had an 11:30 appointment but was running a few minutes late. I called to let our lip expert, Rachel, know and she was completely accommodating. When we arrived she welcomed us in and explained how our lipstick making reservation worked. She was super nice and knowledgeable. The swatches My friend and I made 10 or so swatches. We never felt rushed and Rachel listened to us. She let us check out our shades in different lighting, gave us suggestions, etc. 10/10 Making the lipsticks Rachel talked us through every step of making our final shades and went above and beyond with helping us decide on our lipstick names & covers. It was a super cool process. 10/10 Pricing It's 60$ plus tax for your first lipstick and 40 for any additional. With the amount of time that goes into each lipstick, it is completely reasonable. Overall I would recommend this spot for you, you and a friend, a party. It was a lot of fun and I'm really happy with the shades I got! I'll definitely be back. read more

No customer bathroom. They say no "public bathroom" but it is utterly outrageous that you pay premium prices and cannot go to the bathroom. Told to go to sweet green or whole foods. I also felt like while patient, our preference was not heard or listened to. would not recommend. read more

I have visited this location twice and made four different lipsticks at this point! Still very in love with them all!!! It's such a unique and fun experience to go (especially with friends)! It's completely tailored to you and the Color Experts work with you and take their time to make sure you love every aspect of your lip product! I really took my time and tried a hundred different tweaks to my lipstick and I swear they were okay with it! There's disposable applicators for you to test every tweak you make to the product and makeup remover as well! There's different lip products you can choose from and you get to choose every aspect of it. As for mine I got lipsticks every time and I chose different finishes and scents for them all! I was able to tailor a custom red, pink, peach, and brown lipstick. You're able to pick the name of the lipstick as well and have it engraved on the case. You get a card at the end with the specific measurements of the hues used to make your product (Ex: how much yellow, white, and red went into the brown lipstick you made) so that you are able to reorder it online when you run out! So so so much fun!!! read more

I love how you can customize your lipstick cap color and font. Although the colors may look similar, it looked very different on our lips.

Super cool idea. We got so lucky having the opportunity to go in during Covid. We didn't have an appointment ( they are appointment only now) and just had noticed that they didn't have anybody in there after we drove by. We popped in, they asked if we had an appointment and we ofc didn't, and they were able to fit us in. Now we have some amazing lip colors for upcoming events and I have not stopped getting compliments on them. Even better when we run out there will be a file that we are able to return to and get out colors again. Some things never cease to amaze me. I will surely have to go back again soon! read more

Phenomenal concept poorly executed. I had such high hopes for this experience and it fell a bit flat. Firstly, it felt incredibly transactional and like the folks that worked there didn't want to be there and were going through the motions. Secondly, the available options were so limited that my 2 friends and I ended up getting such similar colors, not because that is what we wanted, but that is all that was really available. Since you are paying for a lipstick, you might as well get one made. Thirdly, there isn't a restroom available to customers. This is shocking, especially since we booked for 3 people, and there was only 1 staff member working with us, so the whole process was around 2 hours. I've heard great things about the Soho location, so may just be that this location doesn't get as much business. read more

Such a fantastic experience. Very convenient Brooklyn location and a super clean and cute store. Barcelona helped me create just the right custom lipstick shade. She is super skilled at blending colors and very knowledgeable about the brand. I have love Bite cosmetics for years and LipLab has continued with the same high quality ingredients and a really enjoyable shopping experience. Love to come back with a group of friends sometime soon. read more

Great time choosing a lip color. A little disappointed that we were not offered the option to make more than one lip color or none of the additional upsell stuff was offered but the space is cute and comfortable. The lip tech was nice and was knowledgeable at helping us choose our shade. appts are not that plentiful and the appt went by pretty quick but we did have a quick nice time. I got a matte red color with mango scent. I did see a larger group party happening and do think that would be a good thing to do. I'll go again for another shade if I'm able to get another appt. read more

I love trying new things and with CoVid it's been harder than usual to get out and have fun freely. My godmother turned 60 this weekend and I'm so glad I was unexpectedly introduced to this gem of a spot. As far as CoVid measures initially we were the only 2 customers in the shop. About an hour later two others came in to be serviced. We were socially distanced and masks were enforced. There are also glass partitions between the customer and employee. We were also told that they are limiting guests during this time. Reservations are suggested but walk ins are welcome if there is room. The experience was a good one. We got to create, try on and create some more colors (up to 6) for choosing. There are different finishes and scent for the lipstick that you choose. The lipstick takes about 30 mins to mold on site and you can name your color for the name to be placed on the tube. I mean a really great time. Lastly our host , E!!! AMAAAZING . Yes I mean to have extra A's lol . She was so cool and fun making the experience an even better time. We had a great time together. I would recommend everyone request her as your colorist. The music selection was pretty dope too . Overall I would definitely return and a plus is that your colors can be saved so you can order again as you like! This is definitely what you make it , go and see for yourself! Brooklyn- Williamsburg Store read more

Really fun and unique experience. I booked my appointment through classpass (excellent deal) and was the only customer on a Friday early evening (at the end of my session a large group came in - this definitely would be a fun girls night out experience). I worked with my consultant who was very friendly and explained the process in detail. You get to build your lip color and then customize it to the max through finish, scent and packaging. The hardest part is determining what kind of color you want. I ended up saying I was looking for something in between a neutral and a going out shade and we worked together to determine what that actually meant ;p. Each final lipstick is made of 3-4 colors and the consultant blends it on a laminated paper with measured portions before you can try it on. Then you can modify based on the results. I did two rounds of modifications before finding a color I thought looked best. I was not a fan of the light in the store and recommend checking your color out close to the window for the best results. I enjoyed the color process so much that I decided to add on a second lipstick ($40, first color is $60). This time I went for a red and didn't like the initial direction we went it so took a 180 turn for the second revision and loved the final result. Once you have your color decided on you get to add the finishing touches, like naming your color and what font to use for your magnetic lipstick case. While you do this your lip color is melted down and mixed before it's poured into an old-school bullet mold. Then voila! Your lip color is ready and perfectly yours :) read more

Had the best time here and I love the two lipsticks I got. Erin helped me and the rest of my group. She was so much fun, endlessly patient, and an expert with color. Really a fun, unique experience! You also get to name your color and you get a customized case for your custom color. So fun! read more

Poor customer service and underwhelming experience. I was so excited for this experience but unfortunately we had a very mellow and non enthusiastic employee. She offered no insight, was one-worded with her responses and barely engaged with us. It seemed like a bother if we did not like the shade she mixed and had to do another. At times she was snappy and cut us off while asking questions. The other stations had really enthusiastic and fun employees who would say things like "I know what color would look good on you" and give feedback, whereas ours was very indifferent towards us. There was a mix up with making our profiles and she asked a manager (I assume), who also had a rude attitude. It was our first time and we didn't know how the profiles worked. We weren't satisfied with the end products but preferred to end, instead of continuing with the blank stares that she gave us. It's a cute idea but try another location to get a better experience worth your $. read more

Be warned there is no bathroom you have to go to Whole Foods or somewhere else if you need to use the bathroom. The $20 that you put down for your deposit you do not get that back and it does not go toward your final bill and you do not get a one on one person. It is first come first serve so you have to sit with other people that you may or may not know. read more

I am so angry right now because of all the unnecessary back and forth emails with Rachel from the Williamsburg store regarding my daughter's birthday event at your location since October 28th.  Rachel should have sent me an invoice for my event date of 11/20 @ 12 pm like I asked her to over a week ago and I would have confirmed by paying for my daughters party. I clearly asked for her to send me an invoice back on November 2nd to which she either did not see or disregarded my request.   This was completely unprofessional and bad business practices as she did not make any attempt to ensure that my date and time was confirmed or called me to solidify this event.  I have sent out invites to my guests with the 12 noon to 2 pm time frame and I have a meeting at 5 pm for my organization that I cannot miss because I am the president.  I have decided to not book with this business anymore as this has ruin my child's birthday and I rather not do business with people that have no regard for their consumers requests or needs.  I hope that in the future, this will not happen to another person. Now I have to regroup and plan something else for my child for her birthday.   Signed  Not A Happy Mom! read more

This was my first time going to a lip lab but I kinda new what to expect(I follow a lot of beauty gurus on social media) but honestly.. Forget expectations. My experience was like no other. To start, Rachel and Fran are the most wonderful, professional, BEAUTIFUL women inside and out. They were both soo incredibly helpful and just SWEET! It was a long process (about an hour) - I'm super picky. But they were soooooooo patient. I ended up walking out with not one but TWO custom lipsticks. I actually wish I had more money on me at the time because I wanted more . My favorite part about my experience was the teamwork/relationship between both Rachel and Fran, you could just tell they work well together. Thank you for everything you guys, this will NOT be the last time you see my face. XOXO - Desiree . PS- IF YOU LOVE LIPSTICK AS MUCH AS I DO, DO NOT HESITATE TO GO, SERIOUSLY. Alsooo take your man/significant other with you so they can see you mix the pretty colors together and come up with your own. Plus they're very useful for taking photos . Which, you're going to WANT TO DO. Trust me. read more

One of the plus sides of the pandemic is that things I would normally have to do in person, I'm now able to do virtually. When I found out the Lip Lab had virtual appointments, I immediately booked myself a spot--I wanted my "dream nude" (along with probably the rest of the humans who go in to make a custom lip color). As someone whose complexion practically glows in the dark, most nudes are either too something: Too brown, too pink, too pale, too dark, too orange...you get the idea. My artist, Paulette, and I definitely joked about how literally everyone wants this elusive perfect-for-them nude. She asked what I've liked and what I haven't liked about lipsticks in the past; we discussed finish, flavor, and name (the coolest part), and the mixing process. She tilted the camera so I still got to watch the process of the colors being mixed together. The initial mixing was honestly way closer to my vision than I thought it would be, and two small tweaks later, it was perfect. It was a beautiful intersection of brown, pink, beige, and peach, which in typing out sounds like it would be muddy, but was absolutely lovely. I also found myself telling her a second shade was "dealer's choice". Y'all. If you have the means and the time to do this? DO THIS. I wound up with a gorgeous satin orange that I would never have picked out for myself, but I know is going to look absolutely killer when it shows up. Truly, it TRANSFORMED on the mixing sheet. She nailed it on the first mix and I absolutely cannot wait to try them both when they arrive. Through the whole process, Paulette was knowledgeable, never pushy (but still guiding--important for my indecisive Libra self), incredibly kind, and super, super cool. I'm only mad that I live in Chicago and that I can't go visit all the time! I'm not being hyperbolic when I say this was probably the greatest beauty experience that I've ever had. Thank you ladies of LL; if I could give you 50 stars, I would! I'll definitely update when I get my colors in the mail! read more

Lip Lab - Left bullet is my nude, and the right bullet is my statement lip - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I don't have enough good things to say about this experience!! My friend made an appointment for us and another friend and I really had no idea what to expect. I've never been big on lipstick or known what to use, so I was intrigued by the idea of personalized lip colors and it also just seemed like it might be fun. We had an appointment at 2pm and the three of us had Marquis and Tanya dedicated to us. They were absolutely incredible from the beginning. They explained the concept to us patiently and walked us through all of our lip prepping. The process from there is that you mix together two shades of lipstick and a "finish" to make lipsticks that you try on to get your perfect shade. As you go you place the ones you like on this cute sheet to hold onto for the end to make your decision. Once you've tried on all the ones you want, you choose your shade or shades and corresponding scent to go with it. Then you get to watch them basically build the lipstick. You also name your lipsticks, which is silly and fun. Marquis and Tanya really made the experience. They were the perfect balance of knowledgeable and fun. They let us be silly as we tried on different shades (even ones we would never get), but were also so helpful in finding the shades that actually worked for your lips and skin. We each chose an everyday lipstick and more of a going out one, and they were honest and helpful with what would work for various occasions. It was really just such a fun time and I think that's mostly because of them! The cost is totally worth it for the experience and nice lipsticks. The two lipsticks were $120 and getting two it also came with what you need to prime your lips. If you only did one it's $60 and comes without the primers. Highly highly recommend the experience all around! read more

The fiancé surprised me with a trip to the Lip Lab and we both had a ton of fun. I have a penchant for finding the newer locations; so off we went to the Brooklyn location (I've heard that SoHo is continuously busy). We were promptly greeted and sat down, then my lip lab mixer (lol) introduced herself to us and got to know me and what I was after. I decided on a true red with mint flavouring and I was not disappointed. She let me try all sorts of colours and combinations before we settled on my top two; a brown colour and a red. I got one lipstick made in front of me with my exact formula mixed for me. It's $60 for one lipstick, $80 for two. As you can see in the first picture I got a lot for my $60.00 USD. My fiancé loved the science behind the cosmetic manufacturing process and was a great photographer/videographer. We were made to feel comfortable, welcome and valued as customers. I've already booked my return for March! Oh! And I'm coming from Ottawa Ontario and it's definitely worth the trip to Brooklyn. read more
