Love the color and the consistency of this lipstick. Not too drying, can be layered. Apply once for a sheer look, apply it 3-4 times for a more intense look....I don't think I would go for this again as it is a sheer lipstick and I don't find the pigment as strong as I'd like.

Products related to Sheer Lipstick

Matte Sheer Lipstick
“It’s not the most hydrating lipstick, but I love the sheer matte formula, and it lasts for quite a while”
Sheer Orange Lipstick
“The product is sheer and gives a very natural effect. If I want to pump up the colour a bit, I top with a sheer red gloss”
Sheer Makeup
“I recommend applying with your fingertip or brush as it is very light and sheer. If you use a foam applicator it will get shucked right up”
Transparent Lipstick
“You can also use a brush (I saw someone using a regular foundation brush, which works pretty well) but fingers are just as easy. Great for a transparent, lit-from-within glow. There is no shimmer, so it is a nice wash of color that's more natural”
Sheer Lip Tints
“The Tom Ford lipstick applied so beautifully onto my lips, giving them a slightly pink tint. It also provides a hydrating feel while showing visibly plumped finish”
Shiny Lipstick
“I also am new to ones with shine and thought I wouldn’t be a fan, but was surprised to find that I actually really enjoy it. The lipstick itself has little sparkles in it that give off that glossy shiny look which I really enjoy”
Sheer Foundation
“The product goes over cream foundations and concealers perfectly. Lasts for hours and keeps oil at bay”
Natural Look Lipstick
“I love the natural look it gives and so easy to blend out with fingers”
Naked Lipstick
“One thing I really appreciate is that, unlike many other nude lipsticks, this one doesn’t get significantly darker when layered”
Natural Lipstick
“They are formulated with a blend of coconut oil, organic shea butter and organic cocoa butter to help condition and nourish your lips and have a beautiful signature vanilla scent”
