About this deal
All in all, though, Kinda Sexy is fairly easy to apply. So I give it 5 stars for ease of application. Because it’s a beautiful nude shade and has good color payoff, Kinda Sexy gets 5 stars for color and pigmentation! There is minimal to no transfer when drinking cold beverages. However, when it comes to hot coffee or tea, you might experience a bit more transferring. After drinking a full cup of hot coffee, most of the color is gone from my lips. It’s the same with greasy and oily food.
During the summer months when I get a little more tanned to NC25-30, it will probably wash me out. But that’s something that can be fixed easily with a little bit of makeup.This is like the perfect MLBB (my lips but better) shade for my NC15-20 skin. Because I’ve been partying less often and getting more sun these days, I’m about NC20 right now. If you want a bit more of a shiny finish, then simply apply a clear gloss or a light, shimmery gloss on top of Kinda Sexy. You might want to apply the gloss only at the center of your lips to make your lips appear fuller. I give it 4 stars because it only has moderate staying power. If it had been more long wearing, then I would have given it 5 stars.
For everyday makeup or a no-makeup makeup look, you can apply a single layer of Kinda Sexy and then just smooth it out with your finger or a lip brush. It’s what I did in the lip swatch photo below. However, I forgot to exfoliate my lips before taking the pictures, so you can see how it accentuated my dry, flaky lips.With just 1 layer of Kinda Sexy, your lip color will still show through. If you want more coverage, you will simply have to apply a few more layers. Even for the most pigmented of all lips, Kinda Sexy can hide your true lip color.
