The lipstick is very intense color and contrary to my expectation also very durable. I would say almost by Longstay lipstick. A few minutes after applying it is virtually "set" and no longer turns so sharply. The color is pink direction apricot with some shimmer added. It goes well with a summer outfit or to a normal daily makeup. He could be a bit more care of the lips, but due to its longevity dry lips with time. A reapplication does not solve the problem, just a balm, about a point deduction.
