very moisturizing, highly pigmented formula. This color is very buildable- like to dab it with fingers for a more subtle look or apply directly for a more vivid mauve.
I purchased this in 01 Le Rouge based on a recommendation from a lipstick lover. I'm more of a lip balm kind of girl, but I was looking for the perfect red to match a dress for a special event. This goes on creamy like all the positive reviews say, but it feathers and smears very easily. It also comes off very easily, so smears on the face, lipstick on the teeth– everything you want for a special event, right? For $38, I was more than disappointed– I was furious. I should have stuck with my always-reliable go-to, NARS. From now on, I'll stick with brands that are experts on make-up instead of fashion.
