NYX Cosmetics’ Sweet Prawn Black Label Lipstick (170)

The color on the tube looks like a medium-bright coral. When applied, I get a medium-bright pink that isn't neon, but is still bright. It reminds me of the undercolors in Indian Pink - which is excellent, because I love that shade but don't love that it won't stay put for very long. This color doesn't have the shimmer factor, but there's a similarity to the base shade. Sweet Prawn is a great “spring” color! (Now if spring would actually arrive…! I'd feel odd wearing this to work with my heavy sweater and winter-weight jeans.)
