I have been using this lip stain for years. It adds just the right amount of color without looking overdone. For a professional appearance, this color is perfect. I am especially pleased that the stick can unobtrusively fit into a jacket or dress pocket for easy touch-ups.
No bueno! I was pretty excited to try this color out based on the reviews that stated it could look nice on various skin colors. So as a beautiful chocolate woman, I thought why not? Big mistake! It has very little discernible color and I'd have to apply and reapply and reapply before anything noticeable. I'm highly disappointed because I don't part with my money on cosmetics lightly - even more so those that I don't try in the store. This is a lipstick for fair skinned ladies. And no one else so don't be fooled. Save your hard earned cash and hit up a store to find a shade that works for you my queens. 2 stars - one star for Nordstrom delivery and one star because it's a hydrating stick. No stars for coloring. Returning this if I can.
