It’s been a few weeks since Jeffree Star launched his Holiday 2016 collection, which consisted of 7 limited edition Velour Liquid Lipsticks and 2 new Skinfrost Highlighters. I have begun studying the swatches and researching dupes for each limited edition shade, and the first one up on the list is the fiery neon orange-red, “Checkmate”. It’s available at Amazon.
“I had to create something a little loud, a little obnoxious, a little BAM,” Star said of the Checkmate shade. He also admitted that his longtime boyfriend Nathan was responsible for deciding on it’s name. Personally, I can’t tell the difference between Checkmate and and his permanent lipstick, ‘Anna Nicole’. So if you’re looking for even more dupes for Checkmate, you can always research dupes for Anna Nicole as well. Anyway, let’s get started on the Checkmate dupes!
