9 Koko K Alternatives To Shop If You Missed Out
After months of anticipation, Kylie Jenner released her long-awaited Valentine's Day-inspired Lip Kits and they absolutely did not disappoint. However, they did sell out quickly. Among them was one flirty, pink nude hue (rumored to be named after her (favorite?) sister), and while it's already sold out, you can still rock the look. Here are 9 Kylie Jenner Koko K Lip Kit alternatives to shop if you can't wait for the real deal to be restocked.
In classic Kylie Cosmetics form, the new shades were sold out within minutes. My favorite shade in this round of releases was KoKo K because it's a super feminine, very nude pink that is perfection for spring. While you can still shop Koko K on eBay for a hefty $50 (even though it retails at $29.00), there are other alternatives. Plenty of brands have a similar shade, and you can find them easily and for a fraction of the price.
I think the trick to rocking this shade is creating a foundation for the color with concealer, a lip liner, or both. This is the perfect nude to compliment cool skin tones, but it's also a great, punchy pink that will make medium to dark skin tones stand out.
