feeling Gnarly, dude, ’cause I’m using Milk makeup Lip color in Gnarly ($22, one of 10 shades)
Special shout-out to MBB visitor Tatiana for reminding me in the comments yesterday that sometimes all you requirement is mascara, a bright lipstick as well as a smile.
So right, Tatiana.

Bright lips are a great concept any type of time of year, however I believe they’re a excellent concept in summer, particularly if you’re into the makeup minimalist thing. You can throw on a bold, bright lip as well as avoid the additional steps, since the lips can bring the whole look as well as make anything else you occur to include — mascara, brows, BB cream, highlighter, what have you — gravy.

These long-wearing matte Milk makeup Lip colors (I understand I’ve been on the Milk makeup train lately, however I hope you can bear with me. I like ’em!) are all in the long-term line as well as $22 each. as well as they totally work for this type of look because, dude…they’re intense! I can photo somebody on the Milk product advancement team saying, “Man, let’s tons these up with as much pigment as humanly possible. I don’t want to layer!”
And that’s just what they did. One layer is all ya need.

I’ve tried four of them — hot pink Freshhh, orange-red name Drop, fuchsia Gnarly as well as peachy nude C.R.E.A.M. The unscented, unflavored formula lasts about four hours, depending upon what you’re doing with your lips (like whether you’re eating, drinking, smooching or just chillin’).
The matte lipstick classification is SO congested right now, however these look instantaneously “worn in,” as well as I believe it makes them stand out. They almost look like matte stains, as well as it’s super great as well as type of unusual for a lipstick.
C.R.E.A.M.
You understand the other day when I talked about exactly how applying MAC Relentlessly Red with a lip clean as well as patting it in with a finger, the color as well as structure look realistic, for lack of a much better word, like they aren’t just a product sitting on top of your lips? Well, when you apply one of these Milk Lip colors directly from the bullet, you get that exact same worn-in, lived-in look directly from the tube. They begin out appearing like you’ve been using them for hours (but in a great way).
Name Drop
Now, might they be more moisturizing? Hell, yeah, since like most mattes out there, these are on the drier side of Lipstick Land. An additional shot of wetness would have been extremely welcome, however there’s an simple repair for that. just begin with a layer of lip balm beforehand.
Freshhh
These lippies don’t glide along as adeptly as a MAC Matte or a MAC vintage Matte Lipstick since they feel thicker than those as well as waxier. There’s some resistance when I drag one across my lips. Not to state that it’s a poor thing, however just an FYI if you like slick, slippery mattes.
