A.Texture Analysis: The 'Dark Aesthetics' from Touch to Vision
The Girlcult Black Lipstick mainly features 2 textures: Velvet Matte and Mirror Gloss, correspond to different makeup expression needs:
1. Velvet matte texture
Using "thixotropic technology", the paste appears solid when not in contact with the lips, and after fusion with body temperature, it transforms into a velvety smooth film like texture. This technology ensures high color rendering (up to 90% coverage) while avoiding the dryness of traditional matte lipsticks. After the upper lip, a "soft focus powder" effect is formed, as if covering the lips with a thin layer of gauze, suitable for creating retro Gothic style or high-end matte makeup effects.
*Representative color : #M62, Pure thick black, without any mixed colors, loved by punk fans
G73: The black color is dotted with red metal polarizing light. Thick coating presents a mysterious dark feeling. The velvet matt quality perfectly covers the lip lines. The combination of metal eyeliner can enhance the dramatic tension.
1. Mirror gloss texture *
Through the "triple cross-linking film-forming technology", a continuous mirror surface is formed, with no broken patterns in the reflective area, creating a transparent feeling like a "liquid galaxy". The texture is lightweight and moisturizing, and after film formation, it is long-lasting and non sticky, suitable for creating a futuristic or wet "vampire lip effect".
*Representative color *: Gold Rush Series - J809
