Pinky-nude is the chic lip colour shade every woman should own

Get ready to meet the ultimate ‘your lips but better’ finish; it's a petal-pink rosy hue that works on a surprisingly wide array of skin tones (just check the site for pictorial proof). As for the formula, you can expect a matte slick of colour that won't dry lips out in the slightest.

A shade that sits closer toward the ‘mauve’ end of the pinky-nude spectrum, it’s a moisture-rich full coverage lipstick that packs as much pigment as it does hydration (and it packs a whole lot of hydration). The cool-toned colour is also great for making a faux glow pop, FYI.
