Cosmoholic‘s Liquid Lipstick applies with the fluidity of a gloss and the texture of a lipstick. I would wear a little by itself for the perfect glimmer, day or night, or layer a coat of it over my favorite red for luscious shine and sparkle. With a tan, or light dusting of bronzer (Nars in “Laguna” is almost universal), this is all the makeup you need. Nude lipstick tends to be pale and pasty in the summertime, especially against sun-kissed skin and rainbow bright clothing, so turn it up a notch. If you want a natural shine, gold is hot and flattering on everyone, and Cosmoholic’s lightly vanilla flavored lipstick is as versatile as it gets. Makeup artists everywhere are all about the gold right now – a touch in the corners of the eyes, a glimmer on the brow bone, and definitely a swipe on the lips. At CVS for $20.
