Why yes, Kylie Jenner, your lip gloss color is "So Cute." Kylie Jenner's new Kylie Gloss, dubbed "So Cute," is a pinky peach nude —the kind her big sis Kim Kardashian favors. It offers blinding shine and is the lightest of the three new gloss colors that Jenner debuted in a music video. It's also the color that she herself wore in the clip.
The glosses are reportedly set to go on sale today, April 1. While her mega matte Lip Kits remain a hot property, the reality star is introducing a new product to her cosmetics range. She is kickstarting a trend as opposed to following it.
While the super shiny lips trend of the early '00s has waned as matte texture asserted its dominance, Jenner is bringing gloss back with three neutral shades. Just like her first trio of Lip Kits —Candy K, Dolce K, and True Brown K— were suede-like neutrals, her first trifecta of glosses is the same in terms of shades. But certainly not in texture!
I expect the Kylie Glosses to break the Internet when they go on sale, since that's what happens every single time Lip Kits are restocked. Yes, it's easier to find a super shiny, extra wet gloss formula than a stay-put yet moisturizing matte on the mass market. But these colors are majorly legit.
Observe Kylie x So Cute.
If you try and shop the pretty and pale "So Cute" and are met with a sellout or an Internet overload, don't fret. Turn that frown upside down and paint it with any of these seven similar shades. They are not exact dupes, but they come close.
