Lovely. A beautiful, calm, and cozy beige-pink lipstick that's moisturizing with sufficient color payoff. It's high-quality and comfortable to wear. For nearly two years, I've been using only vegan color lip balms, but this spring I suddenly got into nude lips. I stumbled upon this lipstick while searching, and it's so pretty that I wear it every time I go out, even with a mask on. I originally wanted to buy Posh Pit, but it was sold out nationwide, so I ordered this instead. On my bare face (which is typically a light yellow tone with some redness, sometimes appearing olive, eternally searching for the right foundation shade, prone to looking dark and gloomy when I'm not feeling well, assumed to be muted but with distinct features that take bold reds well, generally better with cool tones than warm, but with an ambiguous Southern European-esque complexion), it looked like my natural lips... literally MLBB, which was disappointing at first. I thought, 'Did I just pay for my own lip color?' But when I applied foundation to even out my skin tone and cover blemishes and redness, a beautifully subtle color emerged! This is my first time trying Lusterglass, and it's far superior to the regular Luster and Matte formulas. It's a type that makes your lips look supple with a sheer but pigmented finish, not glossy. Domestic nude lip products are mostly matte with a hazy, blurred effect, and while moisturizing lips might be trendy, they're often in tint-like glowy formulas. This foreign brand shows a wider spectrum of thoughtful options. (Koreans have incredibly diverse skin tones, but domestic foundation and color cosmetics often disappoint with their limited color range.) Not only is the color great, but the quality is excellent too. It has enough moisturizing ingredients to smooth out minor dead skin cells. Even if the color is pretty, it wouldn't work without this texture and sheerness, but this lipstick has it all. Being a moisturizing formula, its staying power is moderate. For me, comfort is more important than longevity, so this is perfect. It doesn't cause inner dryness later and the slight whitish base neatly refines my natural lip color. The Lusterglass packaging is cute and sparkly too. While it swatches rosy on the wrist, it looks completely different on my lips - a calm, cozy pink-beige royal milk tea nude lip. The formula is on the softer side, so it wears down quickly, unfortunately. As a side note, I tried to find Posh Pit in several stores, on the Naver official mall, and even called MAC's official website chat and phone, but they said there was no restock planned for 3 weeks. So I bought Hug Me, but two days later, Posh Pit was restocked on the Naver official mall at a discount... Of course, I immediately bought Posh Pit too, but it's a bit warm for my cool-leaning face. The pinker Hug Me is prettier. It makes my face look calm and sophisticated on spring, fall, and winter days. I'm glad I bought it. I don't have any special tips, but to wrap up - while individual experiences may vary with dead skin cell emphasis, inner dryness, and color payoff, I think the entire Lusterglass line has a formula that works well for most people! If you choose the right shade, it's an easy everyday item to apply. Gone are the days when I couldn't even try anything with a hint of white. Although I bought it blindly, I got lucky. If you're worried about nude lips, try an inexpensive nude lip product first (since it's hard to test due to COVID), and if it works well, give this a try. This isn't for a vibrant, cute, fresh, sparkly, or crisp mood, but rather a feminine, chic, intellectual, urban, comfortable, and subtle vibe. I recommend it for those tired of the ubiquitous pinkish-reds, corals, and so-called MLBBs, and for those who dislike stick-type tints but can't give up the lipstick feel. While I'd like to keep it to myself, demand needs to exist for it to stay available... My color swatches aren't great, so please refer to the posts by expert reviewers.
