When you snooze, you lose. Just look at how Kylie Jenner’s much-awaited lip kits sold out—it only took 30 seconds! Though the social media maven has hinted that stocks will be replenished in time for Christmas, no other details have been released as to when exactly they’ll be available again or if these will be in physical stores worldwide. Even then, expect a mad dash to get any of the three sets of matching liquid lipsticks and lip liners.
If you want to skip out on the drama or need something to tide you over until you have the actual product, we’ve hunted down the best nude dupes for Kylie’s three shades: Candy K, Dolce K, and True Brown K. You can either pick one up or get all of them so you can sport a killer pout just like a Jenner.
#1 Candy K
The first shade from Kylie is Candy K, a nude shade with a very faint pink undertone. If you’ve got fair skin, this shade would suit you well as it won’t wash you out. Reach for Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Mauve It Over (P525), a matte formulation that adds dimension to the lips given its pink undertone. When you want to intensify the color and define your lips, go for Essence Long Lasting Lipliner in Girl Next Door (P199).
Revlon. Available at select Watson’s and PCX branches. For more information,visit their website.
Essence. Available at SM City North EDSA, SM Makati, and SM Aura. For more information, visit their website.
#2 Dolce K
It may be hard to tell the difference between Candy K and Dolce K, but it’s there. If Candy K has a bit of pink in it, Dolce is nothing but a pure tan color, good for those with medium to dark skin tones. If you prefer this shade, you can opt for NYX Matte Lipstick in Shy (P326) and MAC Lip Pencil in Naked (P1,000).
NYX. Available at SM City North EDSA, SM Makati, and SM Megamall. For more information, visit their website.
MAC. Available at SM City North EDSA, SM Makati, and Eastwood Mall. For a complete list of stores and more information, visit their website.
#3 True Brown K
The True Brown K is for all the ’90s kids who miss their chokers and cut-up band shirts. As a shade, it’s the rebel among the neutrals with its dark, opaque brown color tinged with a slight reddish undertone. If you don’t mind the splurge, you can get the same effect with NARS Audacious Lipstick in Deborah (P1,650) which is just as pigmented and matte as True Brown K. As for your lip pencil, you can go for the Bobbi Brown Lip Liner in Chocolate (P1,150)
NARS. Available at Rustan’s The Beauty Source, Glorietta 4, and Bonifacio Central Square. For more information, visit their website.
Bobbi Brown. Available at Rustan’s The Beauty Source, Glorietta 4, and SM City North EDSA. For a complete list of stores and more information, visit their website.
