Starling

The just-blotted finish is exactly what I wanted—it looks like I pressed my lips on tissue after a swipe of lipstick, but it stays put for hours. The creamy medium-coverage texture glides on evenly, and the diffused yellow nude somehow reads as flattering rather than scary.

I was worried deep yellow would wash me out, but the diffused tone actually blends into a really flattering nude on my medium skin. The creamy texture glides on smooth and then settles into that just-blotted matte finish without ever feeling tight or patchy, even after a few hours.

The deep yellow nude is so diffused it actually looks like I just spent forever perfecting a blotted lip, but it took one swipe. Dries down creamy without that tight, cracked feeling I usually get from liquid lips.
