I have a post with 9 of the Wet n Wild Silk Finish Lipsticks swatched out
here. This post is part of my expansion of that post, in which I swatch each color on my lips!
Retro Pink looks like a mauve pink in the tube. Once applied, it leans hard into blue, with a white pearl finish. This color reminds me of a young girl's first lipcolor. To make it work on myself, I usually pair it with very, very nude makeup, and muted color clothing (think white top and jeans, minimal jewelery). It is a very innocent and sweet color, but it is quite cool toned, and even with my neutral coloring, I find it hard to wear. However, it photographs beautifully. It also makes my lips look fuller. So, even though it requires a little extra effort to plan to wear it, it is worth having in my collection.
Ok, on to the lipstick!
First, bare lips. I prepped them with a thin application of
Lansinoh:
Now, few swipes, applied straight from the tube. I'm not sure you can tell, but
yes, I left half of my lips bare for comparison.
Next
is full lip. I applied directly from the tube to the bare side. This
color goes on somewhat sheer, and builds with a few swipes. I don't
find any need for a lipbrush.
I
don't find any need for a lipgloss to top the Silk Finish lipsticks.
After applying my Lansinoh Lanolin, my lips are soft and moisturized,
and then adding the Silk Finish on top just makes them even glossier.
The formula is soft and slippery, and there is zero stickiness.
