Every brand has a nude lipstick now. This is the one they’re all trying to copy.
The real magic? It’s the only pink-beige that doesn’t pull orange or corpse-like on me. It just looks like my lips, but better.

The Square Tip
Catches every corner of your lip line — no lip liner needed.
The Matte Finish
Not a flat, drying matte. It has a slight sheen.

My lips weren’t drier after a week of wear. Color stayed true. But it’s not transfer-proof — it will kiss off on a wine glass.

It’s iconic for a reason. The color is flawless. But is it a revolutionary formula? No. It’s a perfect, comfortable matte.
