Build me up buttercup.

A pretty little pastel yellow that’s not too overwhelming or intense is such a perfect shade for Spring. And I don’t even care that it’s snowing right now.

Build Me Up Buttercup is such a creamy, pale yellow that goes so well with my fair skintone since it isn’t’ TOO yellow (if you know what I mean). I’ve been looking for a pastel yellow like this one for a while now (ever since I saw Shay Mitchell sport it on a cover of some magazine) and I thought I found it back in July when I came across Unicorn by Sinful Colors. I think I might have been wrong because Build Me Up Buttercup is THE most gorgeous pastel shade I’ve ever used.

Deborah Lippmann Buuild me up Buttercup

I found the formula to be very rich and creamy, maybe a little runny- ever so slightly- with a smooth, glossy, creme finish. Two coats worked beautifully for me, but I could have also pulled off one coat as well -easily- because of how rich the formula is. The formula is also infused with biotin, green tea extract, and aucoumea, formulated without parabens and sulfates, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, toluene, DBP (dibutyl phthlate), or camphor.

    I find the lighter a polish is, the more coats it needs to be opaque. This must be a really great formula if you only needed 2 coats! I like the colour, especially for spring.

    The perfect yellow! This is so super fresh and gorgeous for Spring. In total agreement that it’s not too yellow, it strikes the perfect pastel. And Build Me Up Buttercup is THE most gorgeous name as well! Just absolutely beautiful! <3

    OMG the snow needs to stawp lol :O :(

    Mmm! I can’t usually find yellows I love too much, but this is gorgeous. Any clue on drugstore dupes on this? You mention Unicorn, but they seem a bit different?

      I haven’t really come across anything that’s similar to this color, maybe Revlon’s “Sunshine Sparkle”?
