Cyber Opal

Kevyn Aucoin Cyber Opal The Molten Lip Color Topcoat ($30.00 for 0.14 fl. oz.) is a pale, pinkish white with fine pink and lavender pearl that shifts from pink to peachy-gold. It had semi-opaque pigmentation in a single layer. The gloss had a really milky quality to it, which made it prone to noticeable settling into every lip line I had, though the moderate shine and fine pearl helped distract from it when viewed at a normal distance. The consistency was light-medium in thickness–thicker than the average gloss but not goopy–with a slightly tacky texture. It was one of the lighter-weight glosses that have come out in the metallic finish lately.

The formula is described as a “comfortable long-wearing topcoat that compliments any lipstick color” that can “also be worn alone.” It lasted for four hours on me, which wasn’t terrible but not beyond the average gloss. The lipgloss did feel comfortable on as it was moderately hydrating. I would recommend dabbing it onto the center of lips over another lip color but using far less than a single pull of product as the base is too opaque and white-based to work well over a lot of other products (causes them to streak or become uneven and dramatically alters the color).

Cyber Sky

Kevyn Aucoin Cyber Sky The Molten Lip Color Topcoat ($30.00 for 0.14 fl. oz.) is a pale, bluish-white with cool, blue and lavender pearl. It had a subtle shift from blue to violet on the lips, and the milky base seemed to disappear on the lips compared to Cyber Opal. It had semi-sheer coverage in a single layer, which applied somewhat evenly and only had some settling. It was more wearable on its own, and it worked better as a top coat as it wasn’t so opaque and added more of a shift/shimmering effect on top of other products. This shade lasted for four hours and was hydrating over time.
