Lip Swatch! - Wet n Wild Silk Finish Lipstick - Fuchsia with Blue Pearl - 521A

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!

Fuchsia with Blue Pearl is a beautiful color that looks exactly like its name.  I love it when things are named what they are.  Sure, the clever names cosmetics often have are cute and fun, but I like to be able to pick something up and know exactly what color and tones I'm going to get.  So many things look different once they are applied, because we aren't wearing that many layers of the product on our skin.  In the tube, Fuchsia with Blue Pearl looks very dark, and very purple.  On the lip, it sheers out to a stunning truly vivid fuchsia, and the blue pearl shimmers and plays over the lip curvature to really emphasize and magnify the lip. 

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 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.
