I habitually steer away from medium-tone reds, because I think “they’re everywhere.” Well…they may be everywhere, but formulas differ. This formula is smooth, levels very well, has great opacity and color payoff, and is nicely durable. The polish wears very well, and I got four days’ wear before...
This glows rich amber-gold on deeper skintones, and looks amazing. It is more of a metallic goldish brown on my fairer skin. (I was hoping for the glowy experience with an amber tone. Thus must be the constant experience when non-pale people go makeup shopping.) I've used it as an...
