Above: Laura Mercier Creme Smooth Lip Color in 60's Pink.
I adore the fashion and aesthetic of the 1960s and have an insatiable love for pale pink lip color. How is it, then, that it has taken me so long to procure Laura Mercier Creme Smooth Lip Color in 60's Pink (available at Sephora, Nordstrom, Bloomingdales and Saks)? When on vacation in Tucson, I snapped it up at a Sephora event and have had it in my rotation since then. It possesses a delicate balance of satin-finish muted pink without washing out the face and is the quintessential compliment to a lightly bronzed face, especially one acheived with the Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Killer Cheekbones Bronze and Glow (now back in stock at Nordstrom, currently offered in an incredible special set at Net-A-Porter and reviewed HERE)...perfection!
Kindly scroll on for more details, images of 60's Pink in action and shots from the famous Tombstone, AZ as well as the Bottom Line...
Above: 60's Pink is the quintessential pale pink for a mod look that doesn't wash out the face.
In terms of formula, the Creme Smooth Lip Color's name says it all...it's:
Extremely emmolient and hydrating
Easy to apply...it simpy glides onto the lips
Semi-sheer with one coat but builds to full opacity with a second layer
Long lasting and doesn't settle into lip lines
Unique...despite having a plethora of pale pinks in my collection, the soft pink pink-meets-salmon tone is distinct in my stash. The closest shade is my ever-favorite Surratt Beauty Lipslique in Fee Soie, which is shinier overall.
The first day I experimented with 60's Pink, I wore it for an adventure in Tombstone, AZ...yes, the famed western town of OK Corral and Bird Cage Theater fame. I hope you enjoy images from the day!

Bottom Line: Laura Mercier Creme Smooth Lipstick in 60's Pink available at Sephora, Nordstrom, Bloomingdales and Saks) is glorious! The soft pink vibe works with a spectrum of makeup looks and the formula feels splendid on the lips. I'm so glad I decided to pick this shade up...highly recommended!
