I wear this on top of my liquid lipstick, and it's a perfect combination with my ABH Crush liquid lipstick. ...I love it - I purchased 02 & 04 because I wasn’t sure which one I would like more. 02 definitely has more of a pinky tone (as described) and I would say suits best fair skin tones with light features. I decided to keep the 04 for myself (I am fair skinned but have dark features), as the Rose looks better.
