Date Night

Date Night is described as a "romantic ruby red." It's a brightened, medium-dark red with cool, blue undertones and lighter fuchsia and ruby red shimmer. It had semi-opaque pigmentation with a lightweight texture that applied smoothly and evenly. It wore well for five hours on me and was comfortable to wear as it was hydrating.
