Rouge à lèvres Forbidden : Chrysalis

The shade shifts so beautifully depending on the light, going from a deep plum to a softer rose. The texture is creamy but not slippery, and it lasted through coffee and lunch without needing a touch-up.

I was a little nervous about how bold Chrysalis would look, but it goes on so smoothly and the color really deepens as it settles, almost like it's waking up. It lasts through coffee and a long lunch without turning patchy, which is more than I can say for most of my other lipsticks.

The color shift on my lips is genuinely transformative, and it fades evenly without that patchy mess I usually deal with. Wore it through dinner and coffee, and it held up beautifully.
