Kat Von D Foiled Love Lipstick: Beranice


Sephora's description: metallic poppy red

My rating:





The lipstick




The lip














The lowdown

I like the color, a nice, bright, shiny red. It looks fine on me, although it would probably look better if it were a bit warmer. I found I needed less of this lipstick to create a completely opaque lip, unlike some of the other Kat Von D lipsticks. It could be that the shininess of the lipstick reflects enough light that the lipstick appears to give full coverage with light applications, but hey, I'm not complaining!




The look 

I blocked Beranice with Valentine, a bright sparkly pink by Kat Von D which you'll see on my top lip.




It is obviously a very subtle block, one that most wouldn't notice unless close enough to see the glitter.

The lowdown

Like many of the Kat Von D lipsticks, I found this one difficult to apply to a level of opacity that I liked. I could see that the brush often removed lipstick as I tried to apply more.That said, what a bangin' color! I absolutely love the strength of this red.



The look

I created an ombre look from bottom to top with Underage Red and another Kat Von D color, Forever & Never.

The lowdown

After brush application, Lolita needed a thorough going-over with the bullet itself, but once I did that the color was perfectly opaque and beautiful. I find that while I love them, coral is not always the most flattering color on me, and Lolita has a bit of that tinge to it. However overall I would recommend it, particularly to those who pop in corals!

I blocked Lolita with Beranice, a shiny red Kat Von D lipstick.

The lowdown

I love the color and it lasted practically the whole day without a primer, although it was a bit sticky and I tend to favor a drier texture. The application was not as even as it could have been; I used a lip brush to put down a base, and ended up needing to apply the color directly to my lips with the bullet afterwards to make it as bold as I felt it should be. It felt a bit like I had to cake it on to get a really strong color.

The color looked deceptively brown in bullet-form, but came out a deep red color on the lip. I wish it had a bit more of that terracotta tone to it when worn because I think it would have made for an interesting lip; that said, I enjoy a good vampy look and in that sense, Rosary delivers.


The look

I created a side-to-side ombre from Rosary to Kat Von D's Lolita. I love this look!!
