I love me some Yaoi.
OCC’s Metallic Lip Tar Yaoi that is.
If you didn’t know, Yaoi in Japanese refers to “Boys’ love” roughly. I.e. a specific genre of manga and fiction in Japan popular among some women, which depicts romance between boys/men. (And it’s not targeted at gay men either. That’s a separate genre.)
OCC’s take on Yaoi is a saccharine, neon, blue-toned candy-pink. In fact, I’d probably describe it as a metallic-glossy version of Candy Yum Yum from MAC.
It’s such an over-the-top, potentially-tacky, frosty Barbie color that it’s actually cool. LOL.
You can mix a teeny tiny bit with clear gloss for a sheer frosty pink, or just lay it on strong for that shiny lip effect. What I will recommend if you want to wear this at full intensity, is to
- apply it over a hot pink lip pencil or a matte lipstick. Lip Tars are oil and pigments. They contain no wax, so they WILL bleed. There is no getting around it. Also, the metals have a bit more of a tendency to be sheerer and not as opaque and even as the creme textures, so a base layer of color will ensure everything looks even.
- start small. Apply just a tiny bit first, and add more if you need more. This is more true for the matte colors than the metallic ones, but it’s still good to use less because when you over-apply, everything slides around.
Do you own any metallic Lip Tars? And what colors are they?
