I am going through a taupe/brown phase right now so this lipstick is perfect for me! I especially love the satin finish as opposed to matte finishes for this time of year because lips tend to be a bit dryer. Satin formulas ensure that your lips will remain conditioned whilst still receiving intense colour. Therefore, Satin lipsticks tend to dry to a semi-matte finish giving matte lipstick lovers the best of both worlds!
