Socialite

Socialite is described as a "sophisticated scarlet red." It's a rich, medium red with subtle, cool undertones and a creamy finish. It had nearly opaque color coverage with a slightly thicker consistency compared to the other glosses in the set. It was easy to over-apply this color, so I recommend using less than you think initially to get the best application. It wore well for five hours on me and was lightly hydrating.
