Too Cool For School Glam Rock Smoky Nudy Lip Color in Pale Beige

Part of Too Cool For School's Glam Rock collection are nude lipsticks that go well with smoky, rocker-chic eye makeup.

Glam Rock Smoky Nudy Lip Color in Pale Beige

Natural edgy nude lips that is to die for! Leaves lips with a smooth finish. Perfect for rocking that smoky eye look.

It comes in 2 shades: 1 Pale Beige and 2 Satin Beige.


The packaging is simple yet edgy. I'm liking the golden owl mask or eye thing going on. This lipstick comes in a normal size, unlike the Hot Girl Lip Sticker (which looks a lot like a toy lipstick).

Swatches:

Bare lips vs. Pale Beige

My lips are naturally pale and pinkish. With 2 coats, this lipstick managed to erase my lip color totally by turning it pale - like skin! It works as a super pale lipstick/lip concealer for me.


However, I can't wear it alone on a normal day, lest I rock super dark eye makeup to work! I wore this to a costume party at church where I dressed up as Wednesday Addams though, and I won "Best in Costume" award. Makeup helped. Haha!


Aside from using this as a lip concealer, I also discovered a genius way to use this lipstick! I've always struggled with doing the gradient lipstick look (where the inner part of the lips look stained and the outer part more pale), but this lipstick made it extra easy to achieve that look.


Here, I used Too Cool For School Glam Rock Smoky Nudy Lip Color in Pale Beige as a base, and Etude House Rosy Tint Lips in 1 (Before Blossom) on the inner part of my lips. It's supposed to be a bright red shade, but diluted with the Pale Beige lipstick it appears more pink.

Pros:
  • Sleek and edgy packaging
  • Comes in 2 beige shades
  • Creamy consistency
  • Stays on for 3-4 hours
  • Works as a lip concealer
  • Makes doing gradient lip effect easier

Cons:
  • Packaging (box) has no English translation
  • Settles on lip lines

Price: P715.00

  2. Nice! I have several nude lipsticks that admittedly don't get enough use. I also have Etude House Rosy Tint Lips. I'll try your technique next time. :)
