I know that lipsticks that change color with pH barely change color on my lips, so I bought this one without any expectations of a noticeable color. It didn't change much, but it works as a lipstick base, so that's fine. It's not expensive or cheap, so I don't have any reason to use this one, but I wanted a brand that was different from my other lipsticks, and I like Make Up For Ever, so I gave it a try. I'm not sure if I'll buy it again, but it doesn't particularly change the color of the lipstick I put on top, isn't sticky, and doesn't have a strong scent, so I think it's good.
