As a top celebrity and editorial makeup artist, Mally Roncal made her name by keeping the focus on dewy and glowing skin, then adding eye, lip and cheek color to support that healthy, breathable look. Mally’s patented style—which often paired nude lips with more dramatic eyes-- became the signature look of celebrities like Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez and Mary. J Blige—just some of the bubbly artist’s famous fans. Then, with the launch of the successful mally BEAUTY a few years back, Mally made her expertise available to the rest of us via an extensive, easy-to-use line of cosmetics and tools.
This month, creating Mally’s signature look just got a little simpler, thanks to the launch of the Citychick Nude Lip Kit. While the perfect, polished nude lip has always been a part of her arsenal, Mally found that it wasn’t always the easiest thing for us non-professionals to create; if done incorrectly, the look can veer towards the horror film—or the morgue. With this kit, the look is broken down into three quick steps: Application of a soft primer pencil to neutralize any natural pink tones on the lips; Lining with a soft, natural-colored liner (to keep the look “modern and believable”); and a top-off with a juicy liquid lipstick to keep nude lips from looking dry or washed out.
Retailing for $25, the double-ended pencil and liquid lipstick duo is available in two shades—Nudelight and Nude Deep—and comes packaged in a shiny pink mini-wallet, complete with easy-to-follow instructions. To purchase, visit QVC.com or call (800) HBENDEL.
