Essence This Is Nude Lipstick #19 Fierce - Semi-Matte

This is by far the best brand of lipstick! I love Several of the colors, but REAL is my favorite. The staying power is the best! Better than any of the other high dollar brands. Doesn't bleed! (My favorite brand of mascara too) turned lots of people on to their mascara)

I have the shade "Happy ". Online, it looks darker and more pink than it actually is. While that was disappointing when I first opened the bullet, after I tried it on, I forgot all about it. Firstly, this lipstick applies like butter. It is super silky smooth. It is very comfortable to wear, not feeling thick or dry at all. I would compare how it feels, to IT Cosmetics Blurred Lines Lipstick that has been discontinued. That was my go-to lipstick. I was wondering what could possibly compare. Essence This Is Nude lipstick does just that and will be my new go-to. It wears like you would expect any typical bullet lipstick to wear.. and that is actually an improvement on the IT Cosmetics lipstick that felt great, but was sheer and did not last long at all. My only wish here, is that there would be a shade description for each shade. That would make it so much easier to shop online. I will definitely be buying more shades, as well as another tube of "Happy". For reference: I am in my 50's, white with very fair, cool-toned skin. Typically mauve, pink, and red shades look best on me.
