Do I recommend it?

Yes, but with limitations.

Why do I commend it?

I commend it because I love the shade on my face. I am between NC 20 to NC 25 *keeps varying :P*. I love how the color looks so amazingly pinkish. I would call it my perfect pink! Not at all discouraged by the bad texture because I look stunning in this color! I recommend it to all beauties that are looking for a perfect pink shade that brightens their complexion instead of stultifying it. It is not bright pink at all as the name might make you imagine a color with bright pink hues. It’s soft and subtle and merges well with your skin tone. You can definitely wear it EVERY SINGLE DAY.
*I fixed my broken beauty with a toothpick you can see here how?*

Why is it a hit?

Perfect subtle pink shade for routine wear.
Super buttery yet lightweight. * love it*.
Glossy NOT shiny finish. *understand the difference between glossy and shiny here*
Well pigmented. All you need is one stroke and you are done.

Why is it a miss?

Breaks easily.
Lasting power is not that great.

Beware!

If you have dark skin tone above NC 25 to be exact.
If you don’t like shades that are not all that prominent.
If you are looking for bright candy pink (FYI – It is not at all a replacement of MAC Candy Yum Yum)

Brace it with:

Bright smokey eyes.
Well done lashes.
Shimmer blush in shades of pink *I recommend Essence blush stick*
Shimmer highlights to finish the look.
