For summer 2009, Barry M has released four new shades of Lip Paints, and today I am featuring 144 Cerise Pink and 147 Peachy Pink.
Cerise Pink is a deep magenta and Peachy Pink is, as the name suggests, a pale coral peachy pink. Cerise Pink has a satiny finish while Peachy Pink has an almost-matte look. Both shades are very pigmented and create a rich and intense look.
Both last well and have a decent amount of moisture. I find that deep magentas like Cerise Pink and very vibrant cool pinks generally last well and I usually need to take extra care to make sure that I remove them thoroughly. (I find that many of them do have pigments that tend to stain the lips a little.)
Peachy Pink goes on quite pale and has more of an edgy and editorial look than an everyday look. (It is pale even among nude-toned lipsticks.) To wear a shade that is both matte and pale like Peachy Pink (which is considerably paler than many people’s natural lip color), make sure your lips are optimally moisturized so it doesn’t settle in lip lines and look patchy on dry lips.
These two shades give lips a strong look in different ways. Between the two, I think Cerise Pink suits more skin tones and is slightly more wearable, while Peachy Pink is quite a unique shade within lipsticks in the same price range.
