HOW IT LOOKS/FEELS:
One swipe imparts a sheer mauve tint. Add a few extra swipes and the finish becomes more opaque, while the color seems to get pinkier. No matter how much of the extremely emollient formula you put on, it never loses its balmlike sheen or moisturizing feel.
WHY WE LIKE IT:
A perfect combination of brown and mauve, this nude hue gives lips depth and dimension rather than draining the life from them (which so many nude shades do). It looks especially flattering on dark skin tones in how it cools down to a rosier pink tone; it reads warmer and mauve-ier on fair complexions (and may be too brown for some pale girls). Because of its sheerness, it may not be able to conceal parts of the lips that are darker than others, but dabbing on a thin layer of concealer beforehand is an easy fix for achieving a uniform finish.
