This lipstick is taupe and has a silvery-brown frost finish when applied. It is rather sheer for my liking but the color can be built up slightly. I wouldn't recommend this for someone who likes a bold or very noticeable lip shade because this one looks almost like a sheer gloss after wearing it for a couple hours. It doesn't have the greatest staying power, but it is very buttery and smooth when you're applying it. It's an okay lipstick, there's nothing that's absolutely terrible about it but there's nothing that's absolutely amazing about it either. Unless of course you're into a very sheer and frosty lip, than you may love this lipstick.
