This item is one of the main reasons I don't carry lipstick and lipgloss in my handbag anymore-its just not necessary. The colors are really ideal for various skin tones (they do however appear to show up as different colors on skin tones that differ). I bought the orange/tangerine looking color on a whim and I was scared when I got home thinking I had wasted my money, was I wrong!!! The color is such a statement when worn with nude/natural eyes, a hint of blush and black eyeliner. I also bought these in promo pack of two from Foschini.
