I'm a fan of the MatteTrance lipsticks because I know once I apply the lipstick in the morning, I won't need to reapply until late afternoon only if I've been indulging in lots of daytime snacking and need to freshen up my look. ...The only thing I didn't like this shade is too nude. It was really close to my lip color shade. ...Universally Flattering Shade...shade is too nude
