For those who are hesitant to try out a pink lip because they think, "Pink lips are cute, but they're difficult..." we recommend giving vivid pink a try. Standard nude-colored lipsticks and glosses are surely owned by anyone who loves makeup, and even those who only wear them for personal grooming. By combining these items, you can enjoy a spring makeup look that's uniquely yours.
1. NARS Afterglow Lip Balm 3,780 yen
This lip balm features a moisturizing blend of monoi oil, tiare, and coconut oil, creating a comfortable texture. It's also recommended to apply it as a base before applying a colored lip.
2. Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited Matte M PK 367 ¥3,456
A lip product that delivers intense color with just one application. While it has a crayon-like matte finish, it contains just the right amount of oil, so it glides smoothly on the lips and doesn't feel dry while wearing it.
3. bareMinerals Gen Nude Patent Lip Lacquer Squad ¥3,240
A lip lacquer with a rich texture that adheres well and delivers great color payoff. Its moist, glossy finish gives your lips an elegant look.
4. Clarins Comfort Lip Oil 01 Honey ¥3,456
A glossy lip serum. The honey color shines like candy, adjusting the tone of your lips. Plant-derived oils that maintain healthy skin leave lips plump and soft, so we recommend using it before bed.
*All prices include tax
Passion in the Heart, Statement on the Lips
A pink matte lipstick sharpens your face and unfailingly asserts your feminine strength and softness. A vibrant pink color on the lips brings out your charm and blows away any faintness.
AKII'S HOW TO
A pigmented matte lipstick will brighten your skin tone. First, create a base with (1) lipstick. Next, apply (2) lipstick, which is rich in oil and comfortable to wear. This time, apply it once and then blot it with a tissue several times. When the matte finish deepens and the color becomes more vibrant, it's finished. This will focus the attention on your lips, creating the illusion of a smaller face. The key to creating a glossy skin tone here is to create a slight contrast between the glossy skin and the matte lipstick.
