  Pros

  Calling all summer muted tones struggling to find the right shade - this is the lipstick to buy! Just a heads up, if you're extremely fair-skinned, it might be a tad dark. But for those around shade 21, it's a must-have. Applied lightly, it's the ultimate MLBB (My Lips But Better). Concentrate the color in the center and blend outwards for a subtle, sultry look. It's a muted, dark plum that's become my go-to. Who knew this 'red bean paste' shade I once thought was for older ladies would become my favorite? On me, a gradient looks better than full coverage - it's surprisingly deep for a full lip look.

  Cons

  Being a satin formula, it doesn't quite match up to matte lipsticks in terms of staying power. After eating, it tends to cling to the lip line, potentially giving you that 'ring around the mouth' look (no offense intended, it's just descriptive!). You know what I mean, right? Still, it's more comfortable than matte formulas without being glossy, so the initial color payoff and feel are satisfying enough to overlook this.

  Tip

  Here's a tried-and-true tip: if your lip line is dark or uneven, clean it up with foundation or concealer before applying the gradient. It's an oldie but a goodie! Personally, I apply Dior Glow first, then clean up my lip line with concealer before doing the gradient. (Sorry for mentioning Dior Glow here, but it really helps the lipstick adhere beautifully!)

  Pros

  I was hesitant at first because it wasn't a popular choice, but this shade is absolutely perfect for fall and winter! It's incredibly beautiful.

  Cons

  While it's not overly matte, my lips are naturally very dry, so applying it directly was challenging. However, I found that using a lip primer beforehand makes it work well.
