love love love this lipstick for those days when i’m not wearing too much makeup. i quite enjoy this one because usually sheer lipsticks are glossy and shiny and i find them uncomfortable sensory wise but i have no problems with this...Love the soft sheer color of these lipsticks.

I got this before it came to Sephora! It’s very sheer than a traditional lipstick, so it’s buildable. ...This lip product is like nothing I’ve ever used. I love sheer color so I usually don’t use lipsticks and prefer glosses but this is the best of both worlds.

I use this on more natural makeup days as both a cheek and lip stain and I love it! I just put a sheer lip balm overtop to prevent dryness. It lasts decently, but it is a more natural looking product so it does fade throughout the day. ...It goes in a little blotchy, the original formula (berry colour one is much more workable and sheer ) this one takes some practice . I do really like the pink colour it leaves in my cheeks it’s very subtle .

However, it does not last long at all. All the other CT lipsticks do not have this issue. Maybe it’s because this is more sheer....Great moisturizing lipstick...For a more "sheer" lipstick it actually has a really good coverage and staying power compared to similar products from other brands.
