I use the color IDEAL and it is just that. The shade is just a tad darker than my natural lip and works perfectly with all my lipsticks and glosses, including other brands. No need to carry around different liner shades for different lipsticks - this particular color, for me, works beautifully.. While it is not long-lasting, it does have some staying power. I do wish Lancome included sharpeners, the sharpeners I have from other lines do not seem to sharpen Lancome pencils as well.
This lip coloring stick is my all time favorite. I absolutely love the Raisnberry. Makes my lips look bigger and I can use this with many different lipsticks.
