It's perfect if you want a natural-looking plump rather than an extreme pout."

The color is a perfect milky neutral pink nude for my cool, fair complexion, and the gloss is soothing and nourishing with just the right amount of shine. I do think it may look a bit too milky on darker complexions, but for fair to light-medium skin tones, it's gorgeous. The formula is just beautiful for everyday use."

"For me, as someone with dark skin, this lip gloss has been a game-changer. The soft pink shade actually suits me—which is rare—and paired with a dark liner, it looks amazing every time. I love how it's smooth, non-sticky, and adds a lovely shine. Definitely planning to keep this in my collection."
