Anyone who has searched for that perfect pale pink lipstick knows it’s like finding a needle in a haystack. Most end up being too sheer and therefore not showing up that well, on top of needing to be reapplied every two minutes.
And then I found LORAC Baby Doll lipstick–a pink pastel that packs a punch. The cream formula goes on with substantial satin coverage and has stupendous staying power–not to mention it smells like candy.
Lining lips for dimension seems to be especially critical when dealing with light shades–and this one is no exception. Try pairing this with a shimmering grey smoky eye for a look that says “meow!“

Ohmygosh! Where can I get this?!
What color lip liner would you use?

You can get it at Sephora! I use my MAC cremestick liner in Sublime Culture, but any light nude would work fine.
Glossy- great find! I have naturally darker lips and I always find that even with light pink shades I still need to put on a lip primer (Smashbox lip/lid primer is great) first to “conceal” the darkness. Do you think it would be neccessary with this Babydoll shade? Thanks so much!
Hmm I’m not sure if you’ll need the primer. This lipstick is very creamy and opaque, so I think there’s a good chance that you won’t need the primer. Let me know if it works ok!

Well, it’s been almost a year, but i figured that people still like to check back on these things so i thought i’d leave an update. I got baby doll and I DID NOT have to use a coverup on my naturally dark lips first! The color is so pigmented, it just needs to be dabbed on, which means the tube lasts a long time too! I love the color. It’s the perfect pale lip for dramatic eyes withough being to beige or too fuchia. My only complaint is that i find it to be very drying, even though it says it’s supposed to be nourishing. I don’t think i could even “wipe” the lipstick on if i wanted to; it would tear up my lips. I just wish it weren’t so drying. Well, i guess that is the price you pay for a perfect, highly pigmented, long-lasting color! Overall, a great recommendation.
