Great color, can be neutral by itself. I have fair skin and red hair, it looks great on me. I like to wear it with Nars sweet dreams lip gloss over it and Benefit 10 as blush. A great natural look.

I like this lipstick formulation so much I've been ordering other colors in the KA line. The texture is sheerer than cream lipsticks and there is a soft gloss effect. While the sheer formulation makes the color a bit see through, the pigments are highly concentrated. For me, most sheer or glossy lipsticks wear quickly and don't stay put within my lip line. This product is just thick enough to stay where you put it, as long as you don't use too much, which you don't need to do since the pigments are highly concentrated. I think the color wears well. After several hours, I end up with a stain effect rather than unevenly worn color. Kantanatura, a tawny red, is actually well represented on beauty.com -- at least on my screen! There is a moderate rose-floral-perfume scent/taste to this product. I think there might be some variance in scent strength from tube to tube since my second color has a bit stronger fragrance, almost enough to bother me. Can't wait to try another shade!

A VERY NICE sheer lipstick! Do note that the color represented online is actually a bit lighter than in reality, but it's still a good shade of a "tawny port". Not giving 5 stars due to a "perfumy" taste that I am not fond of. I was trying to find a replacement for the now discontinued philosophy "word of mouth" sheer lipsticks and this comes close, though more expensive.
