Product code: Tatcha Kyoto outlet Red Silk Lipstick
NEE/UNOPENED Retail $56 outlet Shade Kyoto Red Meet the Holy Grail of red lipsticks. This highly pigmented formula is matte but not at all dull or drying. It's supercreamy, but it doesn't bleed or feather throughout the day. And unlike most red lipsticks that require a lip brush and the steady hands of a surgeon, this one is cut like a diamond for easy and precise application. Most impressive of all was the formula's staying power: Just one coat lasted through two cups of coffee, a bagel breakfast, and a long-winded lunch, which definitely helps make the hefty price tag more palatable. The tomato-red hue has a touch of tangerine (which generally looks best on warm skin tones, like olive and tan), but our cool-toned tester—and pretty much everyone who walked by her desk—found the color superflattering against her fair skin. You may want to stock up on white strips, though; this shade of red tends to bring out the yellow in less-than-blinding teeth. SMOKE FREE ENVIRONMENT.
