Surprisingly, although the color in the tube look like another tan colored but this turns out as a nudish-pinky-light brown color on my pigmented lips (I'm nc40 asian btw) maybe it's the purple speckles they add that turns the color into pink. Since I was looking for a nude lip color that doesn't make me look like I've drink up a bottle of foundation, this color is just perfect, nude color that doesn't make me look pale.Plus the formulation is creamy and doesn't dry my lips. I've taken one lippie because the staying power is badddd....but since it's hard for me to find the right 'nude color', definitely will buy again when this product runs out. UPDATE : sadly, I have to take out 4 lippies because apparently this lipstick contains ingredients of I don't know what that causes me to have mild allergic reaction to my lips. It's itchy and sting my lips. will not buy nyx round lippie again :(EDIT AGAIN : I was trying again the lipstick and no allergic reaction this time! been using this for more than a month almost on a daily use (I love the color so muchhh...), so I'm upping the lippies into 5
