10 Women Tried Kylie Jenner's Lip Kit in "Kourt K" and Here's What Happened
If you're following the great rollout of 2016 aka the continuous launch of Kylie Jenner's Lip Kit colors, then you probably already know about her latest creation (aside from the glosses and her new video revealing them): the matte plum lip color aptly named after her older sis "Kourt K."
As of now, the shade is sold out, per KylieCosmetics.com (I'm sure she'll be restocking it - fingers crossed!), but luckily Cosmopolitan.com was able to get a hold of the highly coveted color to try it out. Here's what it looked like on 10 women in the office and what they thought of it.
1. Maya
Maybe it's because it was paired with my killer eye makeup and my big hair that day, but I felt like such a badass in this lipstick. The deep, sultry purple made me feel so freaking sexy. The formula was slightly drying though, so I would definitely exfoliate and moisturize my lips the night before. But it's so worth it because it took my look from 0 to 💯 in one application.
2. Danielle
This is not a color I would ever, ever wear. I was also doing a beauty tutorial this day (it's Cosmopolitan.com, after all) so I had a milkmaid braid in my hair. This end result is very milkmaid-gone-goth, but, given any other day, I'd probably wear my hair simple and straight with such a bold color. As for the texture and feeling, you've tried one Kylie Lip Kit color, you've tried 'em all!
3. Carly
I'm not opposed to wearing bold lip color - I really like the way it looks against my platinum hair - so I wasn't scared to swipe on Kylie's new "Kourt K" ultra-vampy shade. However, I had to be super-careful when applying it, since it showed every mistake. Other than that, it was slightly drying, but I'd totally wear it again because it didn't budge for hours.
4. Tess
I keep hearing the consensus was that people hated this Kylie color, but I was really into it! It was super vampy in a really fun way! As with all the lip kits, it stayed the fuck on forever, so I had fun shocking people with it for the rest of the day. My fiancé didn't want to come anywhere near me with it on, but that's his loss.
5. Ashley
When someone compares you to SJP in Hocus Pocus, it's probably not your best look. I liked the pencil but my dry lips pretty much rejected the gloss; it took about three or four coats to get the color even. It looks great on Kylie but I think are better vampy options for blondes. Pros of the formula: it doesn't come off. Cons: it doesn't come off. As in ever.
6. Kelsey
It was a bit drying and difficult to apply (the dark color shows every imperfection in application), but I'm a big fan. The deep purple tones, while a bit vampy, were flattering against my hair and eye color. And the flat, matte texture made it feel like there was nothing on my lips, so I could definitely see myself wearing it all day without needing to reapply. The drying effect did make my lips look chapped and feathered though, so it's important to exfoliate beforehand. Overall, I definitely felt like a badass wearing this shade.
7. Emma
Even though the color was plum, it read black on me because I'm so pale, so I ended up looking goth and didn't really like it. It was also super-hard to get off, so there's that.
8. Dominique
I was OBSESSED with the "Kourt K" lip color actually. Being that I have always been terrified of bold lip color, I was hesitant to try this far-from-neutral color. But I loved the way it looked. That said, this lip shade leaves no room for error when applying it, as it is nearly impossible to get off, but it was so worth the challenge as the color is gorgeous. Bottom line: I am more than willing to sacrifice the moisture of my lips to wear this lip color any day.
9. Lauren
At first when I put it on I was like, 'No. Way!' But then it grew on me, I wore it home, and now I'm secretly sad it's sold out.
10. Jada
I'm all for bold lip colors, but this was bold-bold. In the packaging, it's a deep purple shade, but on my lips, it just looked black. And while you can totally argue that this color is wearable and great for every day, I have to say that it just wasn't working for me. Although, is it bad I liked how I looked better after I rubbed most of it off, because it left a super-pretty plum stain?
