But this shade seems to have an even greater range. I was really curious about this shade since it was re-released after being discontinued, so I decided to try it out. The opacity is just right in the middle, and when swatched on my wrist, it's ambiguous whether it leans warm or cool. There also seems to be a hint of opacity in it. In terms of temperature, it comes across as slightly cool on me. But the formula doesn't feel off, it's just unique and unfamiliar. If it gets any cooler, it might veer into the grunge/goth territory. It's a shade that could work well as a base or an overlaying lip routine, and the smaller size compared to a regular lipstick makes it even more versatile.
ConsThe reason I gave it two stars is the lipstick quality. I assumed the quality would be good since they dispensed a generous amount, but I was greatly disappointed... It applies unevenly and kind of 'drags' on the lips. Even though my lips don't have that many wrinkles, it accentuates them a lot, and a single application doesn't give an even coverage. Luckily, I have the MAC Prep + Prime Lip Primer, and using that helped to improve the application a lot.
