Hi sisters! James Charles here, and welcome back to my Youtube channel!
For today's video I will be doing something completely different that I have never done on this channel before
and I'm honestly so excited for it and I hope you guys are too!
In case you missed it or have been living under a rock
Sigma just re-launched their "Lip Switch" lipglosses.
That is such a mouthful, but these lipglosses
are like holographic, rainbow...glosses I guess
and they are so beyond beautiful!
They launched a few months back
and they took the internet by storm.
Everybody was doing crazy looks with them
and then they sold out
and have not been available since.
It's been like three or four months, but they finally
just re-launched a few days ago
and now I got my hands on all four
of the shades.
As soon as I got these I was so
frickin' excited, and my first instinct
was obviously to open them right up
and do some swatches
over on Snapchat,
and if you don't follow me on Snap
you definitely should, my username is "jamescharless"
with an extra "s" after Charles
I always do PR unboxes and openings on there
when I get products like these
they're always getting swatched.
As soon as I got these
and swatched them
I wanted to do a look
so, so badly
because they were so cool,
so I threw together
this like black smoky eye
glossy lid
and rainbow lip
situation,
posted it on Instagram,
and you guys
went CRAZY
over it!
I got so many comments and so many requests
to film a video on this look.
In reality it's literally just a black lip and black smokey eye
with these glosses over top.
Anybody can do that it's just the glosses I guess that are the cool part
so instead of doing a tutorial because I feel like that's boring and super super easy
I wanted to do a full on type of like review
swatch type of situation
and then I'll of course show you how I created the lip from the look.
The glossy eye part is so much fun and it photographs beautifully
but it's definitely not for practical wear AT ALL.
Trust me I was like blinking and gloss was getting all over my eyelids
after like, literally three minutes, so definitely would not recommend!
So I figured I would just skip out on the eyes and do
only the lips for today.
Without further ado, let's get into the review.
I just pulled up the Sigma website right now
and these are the "Lip Switch" lip glosses from Sigma Beauty.
They are fourteen dollars each, definitely not too badly priced for a lip gloss.
I know most lip glosses are usually like eighteen or twenty-one dollars
similar price to a liquid lipstick,
so you are definitely getting a few dollars off for SURE.
It describes it on the website as a:
"Holographic lip glosses that are prismatic, lightweight, and adding
a dimensional new layer to your favorite lip color."
These "Lip Switch" lip glosses come in four different shades.
The first one is called "Flip Flop" and is orange holographic.
The next Lip Switch is called "Pink Lotus" and is basically pink holographic.
Next one is called "Transcend" and it is this blue holographic gloss.
And the last one is called "Double Whammy" and it is this purple,
blue, green trio chrome gloss type of situation.
So those are all four shades swatched on the skin
and I don't really know how these are gonna show up on camera.
Looking at the monitor you can't really tell how actually holographic
and iridescent they look.
In person they are so beautiful and really color-changing.
I'm really really hoping that it looks okay on the footage.
But anyways, on the website it does say that the glosses look the coolest
when they are layered over a dark liquid lipstick,
and of course I have a nude on right now,
so I'm going to go ahead and remove this and replace it with a black one,
then do some cool lip swatches on the actual lips.
I'm gonna show you guys how I created that oil spill look that I posted on my Instagram
that everybody was crazing over. It is such a cool look.
So let's go ahead and take this liquid lipstick off and I'll show you guys what these glosses can really do.
Alright, so I just went ahead and applied my favorite black liquid lipstick.
I use Jefree Star "Weirdo" for this particular day.
And I'm now going to go to these glosses and create this oil slick lip look.
The first time I'm going to go in with this "Double Whammy"
and this is the purple-y, blue-green holographic one.
Out of the four ones, this is probably my least favorite of the four.
I feel like it's not as pigmented and doesn't really show up as well,
BUT it does make a good transition color to kind of blend all the other ones together
and help create those, like, inner colors like the oranges and the greens,
so I'm going to do this one first.
When I go to apply this I'm gonna kinda...
tap it onto the lips.
Oh there we go.
I'm then gonna go to the "Pink Lotus" and put this on the outer corner.
Once again, same situation. Grabbing a LOT of gloss, then gonna...
tap it on there.
I'm just going in super randomly and placing this on different areas.
Next I'm going to grab the shade "Transcend" and I'm gonna layer this on as well.
Out of the four of them, this one is probably my favorite
I feel like it's so pigmented and you can-
OH YEAH. You can re- (wheezes)
You can REALLY see that on camera!
Thank God.
So cool!
Then I'm also gonna grab "Flip Flop" and layer that on as well.
Alright guys and this is how I created the "Oil Slick" lips
They look SO frickin' cool
I really really hope that the camera is, like, doing it justice.
I can see on the monitor that they definitely look very very rainbow.
In person they look literally out of this world!
Holographic rainbow realness!
Being that these glosses are only fourteen dollars, I would definitely say that
these products are James Charles approved.
They are so cool!
You definitely do not need to wear all four of them stacked over a black lipstick like I am.
These do look really really cool on their own
and could look really really great over just a nude lip or any other color lip that
you might have sitting in your drawer.
There are so many cool combinations that you could try out with these.
So if you get them, make sure to send me pictures and tweet me all of your different combinations.
I would love to see your crazy holographic lips!
