Frequently asked questions

Is Petal Pink too light to show up on deeper skin tones?

Petal Pink is designed for the lightest, most muted Summer sub-seasons. On deeper Summer skin tones, it may disappear. Dark Summers should consider Rose or Dusty Pink for a shade that is still soft but visible.

How do I prevent Petal Pink from looking chalky?

Always apply to well-moisturized lips. Light shades can emphasize dryness. A hydrating lip primer or a thin layer of balm underneath prevents any chalky appearance and keeps the colour looking dewy.
