Sukiru | Makeup Brushes

How many times have we all seen this tag on Instagram?! If you’ve been following us instaglammers for a while, you’ve certainly seen this and know exactly what it’s referring to… our brides of the day, of course! This shade was created as a culmination of all of the various beautiful brides that I’ve had the honor to make up over the years. Soft and youthful and glowing and ethereal, this shade is the perfect neutral pink with little hidden flecks of shimmer for that subtly brightening effect. Don’t be fooled though - this is not a gloss! It dries completely matte, and has amazing staying power. It’s also an amazing one for little touch ups through the night because it won’t get sticky or piecey. It stays just as beautiful as you’d expect, and it’s rightfully adored by all :)

This gorgeous deep red looks expensive, totally classy, and is super brightening. Having a bad day? No worries, you have 13a13y! This shade is completely matte with zero shimmer. Like this entire collection, the formula is extremely comfortable yet long lasting. It forms a stain on your lips and can be used with a gloss over the top for a little moisture! You can layer this shade to get a deeper red or use a tiny amount and sheer it out for a softer effect. 13a13y is the second shade in the collection named after Benjamin! His basketball number while in elementary school was 13, and he loved it so much that he dropped the traditional “B” and spelled his name “13enjamin” growing up. Since I’m also a “B” name, he decided to refer to me as “13atya” and to honor that, 13a13y was born!

Adina is a your-lips-but-better kind of shade with a neutral mauve-pink twist. She’s dependable, reliable, and knows exactly what she is. If you know exactly who you are at all times, what you like, what is your vibe and what it is most certainly not, you’re an Adina. This shade was named after my middle sister who just always is herself, no matter what, every second of the day, in the best way. This shade will compliment your skin tone and never be too much, too loud, too obvious, or feel like you’re wearing someone else’s lipstick on your face. The formula is super creamy, smooth, and long wearing. It can be worn more sheer if applied with a lip brush and really blended into the lips, and more opaque if layered on with two coats. If you’re an Adina, you already know if you need this shade in your life or not!

Aliza is that perfectly pink shade that lights up any room. It’s so much fun, and it has so much life and energy. It’s a great shade for smiling, laughing, eating as many ribs as you want, and having the best time. Aliza is also a matte medium shade, and personally I love it with a lip liner and a drop of gloss in the center. It is a brighter toned mauve rose shade with a hint of berry in it, so even though it’s pigmented it isn’t too loud. Aliza is a great shade to mix into your collection because it’s a fun pop of color with one coat blotted out, and you can make it super hot and vavavoom with two coats. I love this shade with a neutral toned outfit on a night out. It can transform any look by giving it that punch of pink. When Aliza’s in the room, you can’t miss her!

This everyday wearable your-lips-but-better matte nude is a must have. It’s the only shade that I didn’t name after anyone specific in this entire line. The reason for that is one of my core values is to be kind, every single day, and I hope this lipstick can act as a constant reminder of that. It’s an every day, wearable shade that I hope can inspire you to be exactly like yourself, just a little bit more kind. I hope this color gives you strength to be your best self! It’s a matte formula without any glitter and shimmer. It can be layered up for a bolder effect or sheered out for a “hint” of color! I personally love wearing it with a bit of Sukiru bff lip mask over the top for every day! Enjoy it 💓 and Be Kind! You never know what demons the people around you are wrestling with.

This color is a stunninnnnng berry toned red. It’s super pigmented and bold and will make any smile look whiter and stand out even more. It’s super comfortable and creamy but dries to a matte finish and won’t transfer on any glasses of any alcoholic beverages… I tested it myself! It’s my favorite shade to wear on a fun night out, and that’s actually how it got its name! Fun fact, Benjamin loves bold lipstick shades on me and always adored when I wore berry toned lipstick early on in our relationship, so this color is totally inspired by early romance. And how appropriate too! Berry tones are so… dare I say, sexy?! I hope you all enjoy this shade as much as I do!! ;)
