This is my first lip palette ever. This has ruined other lipsticks for me. Has nudes, brown, corals, pinks, reds,even mauve shades. I can create so many custom colors of my choice. Gives a creamy matte finish. Its not smudge proof but sure doesn't comes off easily. Some bright colors leave behind a slight tint even after rubbing it off . Feels very light on lips. Would be nice if there was any smaller version of it so it also be travel friendly. HOK beauty provided sturdy packaging.
