kakao

The neutral brown works with basically everything in my makeup bag, which I didn't expect from a shade this rich. It goes on smooth and the color lasts through my morning coffee without going patchy.

I was worried a brown lip would pull too warm on me, but this one stays neutral enough to wear with basically anything. It's not overly drying either, which surprised me since matte shades usually are.

The cocoa shade is that perfect everyday neutral I keep reaching for — it's rich without pulling too dark on my lighter skin. Wore it through a long workday and it barely faded, which honestly surprised me for a lip product.
