Verdict: A creamy nude pink that has staying power and smells good.
I am always on the look-out for that perfect nude lipstick and I find Dior to have the best nude colors. There are many levels of nude that one can wear - between pink-mauve, peach-beige and tan-brown. The best nude lipstick should pick up the warmth and flush of your skin and the natural color of your lips and merging them with your skin's shade. A tad too nude and you risk washing out the color in your complexion.
Dior's Addict Extreme lipstick in Incognito glides on creamy but smooth (balm-like consistency) and smells yummy too. The scent is very subtle and smells like toasted marshmallow (yum!) and the staying power is very good (lasted 4-5 hours). The color is a pinkish neutral nude, leaning towards the nude side with a natural shine that creates a lip-plumping effect.
Dior make-up is available locally at Rustan's Tower in Makati.
