Editor's Pick: Deck of Scarlet X James Goldcrown Lip Oil Is a Universal Peach
What happens when a clean beauty brand and a graffiti artist team up? Pure magic! And that's no cliche because the Deck of Scarlet X James Goldcrown Lip Oil has the mystical power of being a universal peach that looks beautiful on every skin tone.
Deck of Scarlet is beloved for its clean, vegan, cruelty-free beauty products. While self-taught artist and photographer James Goldcrown is known for his Bleeding Hearts/Lovewall murals and for selling out during his first show at Art Basel in Miami. Their collaboration merges two genres of art into one.
The Deck of Scarlet X James Goldcrown Threeway Solid Lip Oil ($28) has a 3-in-1 formula that offers hydration like an oil, shine like a gloss, and color like a lipstick. And speaking of color, "Goldcrown" is a sheer peach that enhances every skin tone, whether it's applied as a single layer for medium coverage or swiped on thick for an intense effect. Also, the packaging highlights Goldcrown's signature Bleeding Hearts graffiti.
Since this lip oil has moisturizing properties – thanks to hyaluronic acid and watermelon, cucumber, and carrot seed oils – I like to apply a thin layer after I've finished my skincare routine in the morning instead of a traditional lip balm. Not only does it add a light wash of color to my face, but it also leaves my lips feeling plump and supple. For video calls or walks in the park, I apply "Goldcrown" a little heavier so the ultra-reflective pigments can truly show off the smoothness of my nourished lips. The glass-like effect is definitely visible through a screen and six-feet away.
The Deck of Scarlet X James Goldcrown Threeway Solid Lip Oil is a multitasking and effective product that will free up space in your makeup bag or pockets (I'm not judging). And since it's available in a universal peach, you can buy one for yourself and gift one to a loved one who deserves a pick-me-up.
