259 Nude I chose the color based solely on the image on Ribbonnet. I wanted a nude pink-beige, but it turned out to be a little off. When I put it on my hand, I was devastated, thinking, "What a mess!" But the makeup artist told me that the color would look different on my hands and lips, so I trusted her and gave it a try. It turned out pretty good. On my hand, it was a bright pink, but on my lips, it wasn't as bright and blended in nicely. It also comes with a blending brush on the other side, which is super convenient, but it also has a cap and is really long. It's too long to fit in my pouch until I sharpen it. The color lasts really well. Even when I tried to wipe the line I drew on my hand with a tissue, it didn't come off at all. As an aside, I'd always been using lip liner incorrectly—when I was creating an over-lip look, I would only use it on the over-lip line. So even a slight difference between the lipstick and lip liner colors made it look unnatural. I saw a video of a makeup artist filling in about half of her lips with liner, so I tried to do the same and filled in about half of my lips with liner before applying lipstick (including over-lining), and it turned out amazing! I'm over 50, so it's embarrassing. But I'm sure there are others who use it the same way I do.
