Where would you wear it? This shade just gives off a warm, cozy vibe. I'd wear it on a lazy Sunday afternoon paired with an oversize sweater, jeans, and over-the-knee boots — either to go pumpkin picking with my boyfriend or just relax with a steaming mug of tea and the newspaper.
Tip for wearing your shade: It's essential to exfoliate your lips when wearing any dark lipstick. In a pinch, I make my own scrub by mixing a little bit of lip balm and sugar, then rubbing the blend into my lips. Also, I tend to be a blush addict (obviously!), but with this shade of brown, it would have been better to go barefaced save for a strong brow and matte skin.
