Gloss Hunt Begins〜Ulta Edition♪

I saw this BURST cover from 1999 and became obsessed with the model’s look〜〜(☆ω☆) Especially her lip color.

I had the genius idea (笑) to go to Ulta and ask one of the staff what lip combo they thought would help me recreate the look〜♪

And here’s what she came up with:

When she said she thought the color under the frosting was purple, I was like… EH!? Σ(･ω･ﾉ)ﾉ！

Gyaru lip colors have always been nude (aka concealer lips), white, or candy pink系💄

Some '90s gals leaned into the frosty trend at the time, but I really didn't expect purple. That was a new one for me〜

でも！I was down to try it〜！(｀ω´)ﾉ

I didn’t do a full face of makeup yet（ゴメンネ〜）, so maybe the whole vibe would be different if I went all out... but I was actually really happy with how it looked!!

I never thought purple would suit me. (〃▽〃)

The MAC Frosting gloss is super pretty and has this lovely iridescent vibe✨

...But it doesn’t quite have that sharp white frost like the model in the mag (；▽；)

To be fair, the Ulta girl did warn me about that lol〜

So I might still have to go on a lil hunt for a more 白っぽい overlay gloss…でも！

For now, I actually love how it turned out〜(人´∀｀)♡

And just now〜I had the idea of bringing the same photo to Sephora to see what they suggest…
Might be fun, right? A little lip color adventure〜笑♡
Who knows〜maybe I’ll find the perfect combo next time (｀・ω・´)ゞ
