Published Jun 20, 2014
When we want to add some fresh, classic colors to our makeup stash, we can always count on Kevyn Aucoin. Case in point: the summer collection. Two of our all-time favorite Kevyn products, The Expert Lip Color and The Loose Shimmer Shadow, are back in four new shades—each. Yes, they’re all perfect for summer. And yes, you’ll have a hard time choosing just one. To help you narrow the field, we broke down the new additions below.
The Expert Lip Color | $35
shop the new shades: 1. Eliarice, 2. Jorjia, 3. Yanilena, 4. Ariabelle
The Expert Lip Color is where it’s at! We’ll never get over Bloodroses, Kevyn’s most iconic lipstick shade, but there’s a whole slew of other swoon-worthy colors, including these new-for-2014 options to boot. The shades are all over the spectrum, yet flatter any skin tone: there’s the warm, seductive red Eliarice; Jorjia, a seriously bright fuchsia; Yanilena, a bright coral that’d turn any orange lip skeptic into a believer; and Ariabelle, a soft, cool pinky-purple. The beloved formula hasn’t changed, so you can still expect a super smooth application with long-lasting, full coverage.
The Loose Shimmer Shadow | $29
shop the new shades: 1. Candlelight, 2. Kunzite, 3. Selenite, 4. Sunstone
Too much shimmer and sheen can look tacky, but you have nothing to worry about when using these finely milled shadows. What we love most is how soft each color is—you can wear them anytime and anywhere (even work!). The latest batch is all about updated neutrals with slightly golden undertones. There’s Selenite, a light gray; Sunstone, coppery-gold goodness; the super light pink-gold Kunzite; and Candlelight, a full-on gold. What’s more, application couldn’t be easier. The rollerball tip gives you total control over how much product you apply, and with no mess.
