I watched a lot of review and swatch videos about these lip tints and was nervous about the results but I'm really happy with these! I got #1 which I knew was for cool tones (but I am definitely a deep autumn warm) and #3 which said to be very popular. At first, I was extremely disappointed to find that these tints pull out such a dark red from the ph of my lips. I have tanned/ brown skin and while my lips aren't dark, they do have brown and purple undertones to them. Usually, this results in lip products turning pink on me, but it was very much the opposite with these. Eventually, I realized I should try them with a concealer first and this made a WORLD of a difference! Using concealer or foundation may mix with the color a bit and make it look creamier rather than transparent but now the shades are exactly what they're supposed to be. #1 looks a bit too cool on me if I apply too many layers but this was to be expected and I knew I was risking it when purchasing. However, if I apply only one or two layers it's just perfect. The texture is too die for... it applies on watery at first and then melts into this serum like texture that I adore even more than the other glass-style tints I also purchased. I only give it 4 stars because I can't use them without concealer but everything else about this is amazing! The staining isn't extremely long lasting but this is actually okay with me as it means I can reapply more often without it getting too dark.
