This is SO comfortable to wear on my lips. The colour can be built up as it is so pigmented. However I like to use this to apply a thin layer just to add some colour to my lips. It doesn't stain my lips (however most stains don't have great staying power on my lips. I have the colour #12 Nude Thrill and I would have to say the colours are quite true to the swatches provided in the picture. I will definitely buy more of these in the future. The packaging also feels really nice and sturdy.
