Kevyn Aucoin's Molten Lip Color Topcoat in Cyber Opal is a versatile lip product that can either provide a high impact look or a subtle pretty glow.

The Molten Lip Color Topcoat acts as a [plumping highlighter for the lips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plumping-lip-oil).This gloss has a creamy opal base with lavender and pink, and micro-reflects for a cosmic glow. Worn layered or on its own, this cyber-inspired gloss offers semi-opaque coverage with a pretty reflective glow. Where this product really shines is as a natural-looking topcoat for the lips. Worn over almost any other lip color, this [medium thick gloss](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amber-lip-gloss) is complimentary and creates a feminine metallic finish.

The dearly departed Kevyn Aucoin was a celebrity makeup artist throughout the late 80s and early 90s. The artist's legacy lives on through a covetable cosmetics range that is not only versatile but also youthfully bold.
