Bold and Beautiful Color. Although I was expecting a bit more clear red, the shade is a tipsy bit towards maroon, can call it blood red. But none the less the shade is excellent, good for a bright nightout wear. Perfectly goes with fair complexion and contrast with the wheatish skin tone makes the complexion look fairer.
As far as the lipstick is concerned, it is really great, moisturizes the lips and stays for a long time.you would probably only need a touchup if you eat. The pigment is very strong and only one stroke gives quite a bold coloring.deepening the color would be personal choice and can be done by layering.
