couldn't have been better on all counts!This Trish Mcevoy lip pencil is gorgeous. The color is neutral and creamy. I put in on and I then use aquaphor over it. Lasts for hours without becoming Casey.A fantastic product. Great color, have ordered numerous times and will order again. Fantastic color, I recommend.Love the color - it's like my lip color but better. Lipstick has a nice texture, not too dry, not too soft. Lasts a reasonable amount of time. Only reason I took off a star is that since you have to sharpen the pencil, you end up losing a lot of the product when the pencil gets short. I think I'm on my third pencil.Ive been using this for some time and can't imagine not having itSmooth finish with nice natural color.Nice color & goes on nicelyI bought Nude. It covers wonderfully, very smooth. I'm going to also order another color. Love this.
