The color is a warm brownish nude that actually works with my medium skin instead of washing me out like most nudes do. It goes on creamy and dries down without that tight, crackly feeling.

This shade landed somewhere between a nude and a rose on me, which is exactly the kind of versatile color I reach for on workdays. It glides on smooth and doesn't dry my lips out like some matte formulas tend to.

I was worried this shade would look too bold in the tube, but it actually warms up nicely on my lips and works for both workdays and nights out. The color payoff is strong enough that one pass is plenty, and it doesn't dry my lips out like other lip products I've tried.
