Viva Glam lipsticks are one of those lipsticks that even if I’m not 100% head over heels for it, I’ll buy it because at the end of the day it’s for a good cause. And that’s how I’ll fondly think of this shade.
The finish is smooth and creamy, the lipstick itself is wonderfully hydrating! The pigmentation is solid. But the colour just looks awful on me 🙁
I mean, it is a shade I will still keep as I could use it for a shoot or layering it with other shades, but you can be sure it’s not something I would wear to work or at any social events. I’m not sure what skin tone this would better suit, but hey! If you’ve tried this and it looks good on you, let me know 🙂
It’s for a good cause, and I’m glad I still bought it anyways 🙂 This is an limited edition shade that will be around for another 8 months or so 🙂
That’s odd – I’m actually an NC20-25 and this suits me nicely! It might be because I have a fair bit of pink in the skin on my face, despite being yellow overall. Maybe try it over a darker liner? Something with a bit of brown? 🙂
Oh okay! I’ll be sure to take your advice! Thanks for helping to save my lipstick, I really want to love it 🙂
I don’t think it looks that bad on you! I’ve seen other beauty bloggers wear this shade and it looks absolutely horrendous, like they’re wearing someone else’s concealer as lipstick. I don’t think it even suits Lady Gaga herself in the promo pictures lol. I’m an N5/NW20 and I like wearing skin coloured lipsticks when I do a heavy smokey eye to keep the focus on my eyes 🙂
Aww thank you lovely 🙂 That’s very kind of you to say 🙂
