Cocoa Bold Lipstick

Too Faced Cocoa Bold Lipstick is a nude with cocoa warmth in it — Too Faced's answer to the flat, forgettable nudes most of us already own. The coverage runs medium to full, the texture is buttery and creamy, and the whole thing is chocolate-scented. The shade was designed to flatter across skin tones rather than only one.

What it actually does

• Gives a nude with depth. A cocoa-toned colour rather than a pale wash, built to look intentional instead of washed out.
• Covers properly. Medium-to-full coverage with the kind of payoff Too Faced calls insane — this is a pigmented bullet, not a tint.
• Feels rich on the lip. The formula is creamy with a buttery texture, described by the brand as ultra-decadent.
• Made to suit many skin tones. Too Faced states the nude was designed to be universally flattering.
• Chocolate-scented, and formulated without parabens. The brand confirms it is cruelty-free.

How to use

1. Go straight onto clean, dry lips — Too Faced says that is how you get the strongest, boldest version of the colour.
2. Use the heart-shaped tip of the bullet to draw the lip line accurately, then fill the centre using the flat face.
3. Tidy the outer edge with a touch of concealer on a small brush, which is the brand's own finishing tip.
4. For extra definition, tap a slightly lighter concealer shade onto the Cupid's bow and the outer corners so the lip colour reads sharper.

Questions

Will a cocoa nude suit my skin tone?

Too Faced designed the shade to be flattering across skin tones, which is the point of a cocoa base rather than a beige one. Message us if you want a view on your specific undertone before ordering.

Do I need a lip liner with it?

Not necessarily — the bullet has a heart-shaped tip meant for outlining the lip before you fill it in. Concealer around the edge does the rest of the clean-up.

Is it scented?

Yes, it carries a chocolate scent. Worth knowing if you are sensitive to fragrance in lip products.
