You need a lipbrush with this lipstick; it's extremely pigmented, and absolutely not a slap it on from the tube kind of red (if you're looking for one of those, Chanel's new Rouge Cocos are a good bet.) Although it is very pigmented, I don't find it drying on my lips, and the colour stays where I put it.
Coco Noir is a deep brick red. My lips are pale and mauve, so it reads as a dark blood red on me; if your lips are less anaemic and have more flesh/warm tones you'll most likely see more of the brick tones. Coco Noir is a striking red, but the brick tones make it quite wearable in my opinion. You can see my post picturing all the Noir lipsticks I own and swatches on my arm here.

What a gorgeous colour. I'm a bit of a scardy cat to pull it off, but the pigmentation looks good :)

LOVE that colour!! So sexy, would look great with a black liquid eyeliner. HOT!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite reds, too, but yes, definitely needs a brush for application. But once you apply it, this puppy stays on.
ReplyDeleteI also just got Ellis Faas Milky Lips 201 and it's not as blood red as I was hoping, maybe the Creamy Lips 101 would be better, or do you think they're too close?
i love coco noir with a swipe of gem noir over top. it makes the brick a little less heavy on me. i own wayyyy too many of the JH lipsticks :P
