Full Transparency: 2 Clever Products That Will Make You Look Like Yourself (but Better)
April 17, 2014
We all want to look put together in the office, but sometimes that sexy cat-eye that seemed like a good idea at 8am has dissolved into an unintentional smoky-eye situation by mid-afternoon. Or that “fun” red lipstick has decided to migrate across your face mid-meeting.
For days when you want to keep things simple and chic, we’ve discovered two wonder products that enhance your natural look without distracting you from your cause.
Hello Sailor by Lipstick Queen
Half the fun of Hello Sailor is hearing the gasps when those around you notice that you’re applying blue lipstick. But really, it’s more like sheer balm with a subtle tint that deepens your natural lip color ever so slightly. The more you put on, the plummier it gets. The best part: It slicks on like Chapstick, so you can apply it sans mirror without worrying about runaway pigment. Below, our CMO Annie takes the plunge.

What Hello Sailor is to lips, Dior Nail Glow is to nails. A transparent polish with a slight pink tint, this product subtly enhances your natural nail color, making the whites of your tips and nail beds look extra white. The effect is clean, polished, and refreshingly simple. The best part: You can skip the full manicure and just apply one or two coats at home (or in the office). If it chips, who’s to know? Transparent products are nothing if not forgiving.
