This is an ULTRA bright hot pink color. It looks a bit scary, but everyone that I have seen wearing it looks great! You can sheer it out by putting a good layer of lip balm underneath it, like I did. If you wear it without much lipbalm, prepare for it to be very, very, VERY intense... Intense, but amazing. Seriously, I cannot recommend this color enough for Spring and Summer. I don't have any color like it in my collection. It is a cool-red-leaning-neutral, but it does it without going into fuchsia tones. I think just about anyone could wear this, just be brave!
First, bare lips. I prepped them with a thin application of Lansinoh.
Now, a thin layer, applied from the tube, in a single swipe. I left half of my lips bare for comparison.
Now for what I would call full strength. I applied directly from the tube. Keep in mind that this is a matte formula, but it does go on creamy. If you put some lip balm on your lips before applying it, the formula will remain a satin finish. If you apply the lipstick without any balm, the finish will look matte, but will feel satin on your lips. This color does intensify with a second coat.
Next is full lip. I applied directly from the tube to the bare side, and I put on about 2 coats. This lipstick is very opaque when applied directly from the tube.
Smile!
Full face:
That is a great color! How well did it last for you?
ReplyDeleteWith all the balm I had on (quite a bit) it lasted about 4 hours. With very little balm, it went 7 hours, and then another 3 hours with just a balm touch-up. The touch up was less intense, but still bright. :-)
