Firstly, you have to beware that they dry very quickly. So, applying this slowly is not recommended. If you're going to apply 2 layers, do it before it dries completely. I found it easier to do each part of the lip at a time. For example, i did the bottom part of my lip first, then I moved my way to the top part. Aside from that, the colors are great. I actually fell in love with tickled pink and it might just be my New favorite. It's a cute pop of color, but subtle. I am also very satisfied with how quickly this arrived! I am definitely a happy customer. This is my 3rd beauty crop purchase & each time has been a satisfying one.
