SHOPPING for cosmetics can be a challenge, especially with unhealthy, pale skin.
One woman said her skin tone looked like that of a “sickly Victorian child,” but she found the perfect makeup to match her skin tone.
Reddit user Gafigure85 posted her tip in a comment on the social media platform.
She said she was looking for the best lipstick and then she came across this color.
The Redditor added that not only does it suit her skin, it also fits within her budget.
She described the purchase as nothing short of “magic.”
WHAT DID SHE GET?
The Redditor bought her lipstick from Elf, a popular drugstore makeup brand.
“The Elf Glossy Lip Stain is magical,” she enthused.
“I’m a typical Victorian child, so I bought the color Pinkies Up for a natural daytime look.
“It was very light at first and I was a little nervous, but it quickly darkened to a beautiful natural, pinkish, nude shade.

Other Redditors also responded positively to the flattering lipstick.
“The Elf Spot is awesome,” someone enthused.
“I bought a color that didn’t suit me and tried to scrub it off, but it stayed on all day.
“[It’s a] “really good product.”
“‘Shade sickly Victorian child’ I [laughed out loud]”, another noted.
“I have a very light skin tone, so I definitely use that.”
FORMULA FOR SUCCESS
The brand promotes a long-lasting lip stain formula.
It also promises to not transfer, a problem with many lip products on the market.
According to the brand, it has a higher color intensity than a lip balm, but is thinner than a lipstick.
Fans of the product raved about the lip stain in the review section.
“I really like how this feels on the lips,” one person wrote. “The colors are very pretty and the stain it leaves behind is subtle but beautiful. I recommend it.”
