I have been on the hunt for a good "Nude lip" for my pale skin and light hair. I feel like everyone can pull it off but me! This is my most recent addition to my lipstick collection. The Gerard Cosmetics lipstick in Butter Cup and the Color Your Smile Lighted Lip Gloss in Candy Kiss.
The Butter Cup lipstick was created when Gerard Cosmetics partnered up with Beauty Guru Jaclyn Hill. This is a beautiful Pinky nude shade perfect for that neutral lip to pair with any eye look! It's got a very nice smooth creamy texture and a light sweet scent to it, nothing overpowering. I do love this lipstick, however, it does take some time to get used to a "nude lip" if you're not accustom to it. On the right You can see it on my lips, I would recommend Using a lip liner to get a more defined edge to clean it up a little (I like Makeup forever lip liner in 2C).
The Candy Kiss lip gloss was created when Gerard Cosmetics teamed up with Another Beauty Guru(My Favorite one) Shaaanxo, or Shannon Harris from New Zealand. Candy Kiss is a Color Your Smile Lighted Lip Gloss in a light pink/coral shade, it's got an awesome little mirror and built in light perfect for reapplying or touching up throughout the day. It's got a nice doe foot applicator making it easy to apply and accurate. It is a little on the "sticky" side but you'll want a little of that to ensure it doesn't slide all over and it stays put. For my lips it has a tendency to accentuate the dryness(but i do have VERY dry lips). As long as I exfoliate and moisturize this is a great color for me. On the right I have this lip gloss over the GC Buttercup lipstick.
Be the best you,
