When Rihanna first dropped Gloss Bomb, we lost it. Actually, the whole world did, because this product along with Rih’s other original lineup of products; went on to sell fives times more than Kylie’s cosmetics. And that was in only in month one of Fenty Beauty’s existence.

Since then, Rihanna continues to listen to and treat her consumers with the beauty products they crave and desire. Next up on the Fenty Beauty conveyor belt is the Diamond Milk Gloss Bomb. A sort of additional “upgrade” from the first set of Gloss Bombs. Regarding Diamond Milk Fenty Beauty reveals,

“The lip gloss that made you fall in love, in a brand new shade! Diamond Milk Gloss Bomb is a shimmery wash of pearl that’s like a dewy highlight for your lips! And you KNOW it has the same, ultra nourishing feel of our original gloss bomb. Just now in a whole milky pearl shade.

When it feels as good as it looks! The Diamond Milk Gloss Bomb has the same shea butter conditioning formula, with an amazing peach-vanilla scent. Rock the dewy highlight for your lips on its own or pair it with your favorite lip color!”

Furthermore, for the record Rihanna is unmatched for giving her fans a sneak peek at her upcoming products. If you are wondering, yes, this is the same lip gloss that Rih showcased on social media a while back.

Black Beauty Makeup Products: MAC Lipglass Steel Kiss -Get a Nude Lip!

ArianneUpdated on June 12, 2018June 12, 2018

Trying to find a nude? As any lady of color knows that sometimes it can be quite the treasure hunt. However, thanks to the wild success of Fenty Beauty; many brands are actively developing products that fit darker skin tones (alright, alright, alright LOL). In fact, MAC Cosmetics is selling a few nude lip gloss options that will help your pout bare it all! Let’s get into the MAC Lipglass Steel Kiss.

Black Beauty Makeup Products: MAC Lipglass Steel Kiss -Get a Nude Lip

Swatches are one thing, but we prefer to actually see a lip product on well… you know, the lips! For a little while, we took note of MAC’s nude tone lipglass products being used on black women. Then, one day instead of demonstrating their nudes on a light to medium skin tone model; they utilized a model with a gorgeous deep, ebony skin hue. Our analysis? MAC’s nude lipglass products have great range on women of color from light to deep.

We pried a little further and find that many professional MUAs (makeup artists) actually suggest two of MAC Cosmetics lipglass tones. MAC Lipglass in Steel Kiss as well as Very Go Lightly. Furthermore, the photo at the outset of this article shows a makeup look created on a model using a mixture of both Steel Kiss and Very Go Lightly.

Black Beauty Makeup Products: MAC Lipglass Steel Kiss

MAC Cosmetics promises that their lipglass with help you design exactly the nude glossy look you are after. That is because lipglass “can create a high gloss, glass like finish or a subtle sheen. [Plus it is] designed to be worn on its own, over lip pencil or lipstick. It’s the perfect product for creating shine that lasts.”

Another awesome benefit of the lipglass product is that it can help make your lips healthier. This lip gloss is formulated with jojoba oil that will not only make lips softer; but, help improve the overall condition of the lips. Therefore, want to give this MAC Cosmetics beauty item a go? Get it online at the MAC store for $17.
