Lip Erase; a flesh toned balm to neutralize your natural lip color.
I have highly pigmented lips and sometimes I just want to sport a nude lip you know what i mean?! I came across this product one day watching youtube and had to look into it...
Facts:
1. only two shades available pale and dim.
2. These are best for light to medium skin tones.
3. can only be purchased in pro stores or online.
4. retails for 20- US dollars.
Opinion:
1. its pretty drying make sure to moisturize
2. exfoliate! exfoliate! otherwise it will look terrible on. Trust me i have dry lips and learned that right away.
3. its nothing special...If you really want to blank out your lips you can use your foundation.
Ok so here's the skinny on Mac's lip erase... I personally don't feel its a must have. You will really need to have well moisturized lips otherwise it'll look patchy and streaky. The idea behind the lip erase is to either wear alone as a nude or to blank out your pigmented lip to help other shades appear truer to color. The color i bought is Dim
Con:
1. There are only two shades
2. it's in a pot many folks have issues with dipping their fingers into a product its not the most sanitary.
Pro:
1. It's a ton of product 15ML/0.5 FL OZ
