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!
Just Garnet is one of my favorite dark, bold lipcolors. It is unique in that rather than diminishing the lip, as most dark colors do, it enhances and augments the perceived size. Just Garnet is a beautiful pomegranate red. It does lean blue in the tube, but my coloring pulls it back to neutral on my lip. In the tube, it shows as a dark purple-red, with copper, silver, and pinkish shimmer, with a slight blue pearl sheen. On my lip, that shimmer and blue pearl disappears.
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 had forgotten how much I like this color, and got a little excited when I was applying it, and lost a bit of control, which you can see on the upper lip, left side. So, do keep in mind that this is a bold color, and don't repeat my mistake. Apply carefully for a neat appearance.
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.
