When Marc Jacobs first came out with his beauty line, these collections of nudes were not released yet, so all his lipsticks were the trademark black and white packaging. When I saw that he released a new line of lipsticks with nude packaging, I fell in love. I picked up "Understudy" and "Eat Cake" both of which are a semi medium-dark rose colour. It is described as "sheer" but you still get colour payoff in respect to it showing up beautifully on your lips. It is of course nothing like the pigmented colour you get from a lipstick but it still comes off as a beautiful colour on the lips.
