Retro Coral

Bobbi Brown Retro Coral Luxe Lip Color ($35.00 for 0.12 oz.) is described as a "pale pink coral." It's a medium coral with a hint of pink and warm undertones paired with a luminous sheen. It had mostly opaque color payoff with a creamy, moderately slippery consistency, so you could see "lines" if you pressed your lips together at times. The texture is lightweight and comfortable to wear, while the color lasted for four and a half hours on me and was hydrating over time. Buxom Two-Timer (DC, $21.00) is glossier (95% similar).
