Natural Woman: Makeup for a No-Makeup Look

Brand new to the shelves, this water-based formula deposits a sheer wash of color that lasts for hours. And the best part is you can actually build the pigment―do one quick sweep over the lips for just a subtle tint, or apply a few layers for a more intense, saturated hue. The real beauty is you won’t find yourself reapplying like you do with lipstick or gloss.
