This is the first time I've found a color that gives my face a coral vibe without looking out of place (though the product itself isn't coral). My face suits muted tones (slightly lower saturation and brightness), and I'm a cool-toned winter. I don't often hear that my face is dark, but bright or vivid colors just don't work for me. My face tends to look better with darker burgundy or muted plum shades. When I see people online rocking that effortlessly chic coral look, I've always been so envious of that special vibe. But when I try those 'real' coral products, my lips look like they're floating, my face turns ashy, and the area around my mouth looks darker - it's just not a good look. My friend even makes me wear coral lipstick when she wants a laugh! I was determined to find a color that could give me that coral feeling without looking awkward on my face, moving away from the usual red bean paste shades. After trying on almost every similar-looking color at Sephora, I chose this one. The feel is great too - a velvety matte finish. And surprisingly, it actually gives my face that coral-esque vibe! Looking at the product itself, it's not coral at all. It's definitely not meant to be. It's more of a rose beige. But once my face absorbs all the blue undertones, it somehow transforms into a subtle coral effect. My friend was shocked! For all you cool-toned folks whose faces seem to absorb all the blue tones, if you're tired of dull red bean paste colors, give this a try! Just to be clear, I'm not saying it turns into a true orange coral on your face. It's not quite an orange-y coral, more like a fresh, pink-coral 'feeling', if that makes sense? That being said, on days when I'm not feeling my best, my lips can still look a bit disconnected. On those days, I just dab a bit of my usual color in the center of my lips, and it works fine. My skin tone is such that shade 21 is a bit light on me and requires contouring, while shade 23 makes people ask why my face looks so dark today. So I usually go for shade 21 with contouring... maybe I'm a 22? Anyway, that's my skin tone, and I absolutely love charcoal when buying clothes. If you're similar to me, give this a try!
