But I love how buttery this stuff is,&#8221; says Krempa. &#8220;It goes on smooth and creamy in a single swipe. Seriously, all you have to do is swipe it over your lips once on top and bottom, smack &#8217;em together to even it out, and you&#8217;re done. It&#8217;s the definition of easy peasy and it feels so nourishing on lips, too. I tried Daydream, which is a pretty berry shade and doesn&#8217;t really look all that different from my normal lip color.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Shade: Fantasy Life<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1094075 size-full js-inline-lazy-load\" alt=\"\" width=\"629\" height=\"629\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/FK-Fantasy-Life_falsexfalse_true_70.webp\"\/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If I&#8217;m being candid, Fantasy Life looks very weird on my skin tone,&#8221; says Krempa. &#8220;It&#8217;s too light for my tan right now, and makes my lips unflatteringly fleshy. So if you&#8217;ve got warm, golden undertones, reach for something else.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Weiner<\/h2>\n<p><em><strong>Shade: High Cut<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1094249 size-full js-inline-lazy-load\" alt=\"\" width=\"629\" height=\"629\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/ZW-High-Cut_falsexfalse_true_70.webp\"\/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These lipsticks I reach for when I know I need to put on actual lipstick\u2014versus gloss or balm\u2014to complete a look, but don&#8217;t want to have to think too much about it. In other words, they go with everything,&#8221; says Weiner. &#8220;I love all of the shades I&#8217;ve tried (Fantasy Life and Turned On are other favorites), but High Cut is the one I reach for the most thanks to its ease of wear. It&#8217;s the perfect neutral pink, and matches my lips in a natural way that makes my face look finished, but not overdone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Brown<\/h2>\n<p><strong><em>Shade: Deep Talks<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1094087 size-full js-inline-lazy-load\" alt=\"\" width=\"629\" height=\"629\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/KJB-Deep-Talks_falsexfalse_true_70.webp\"\/><\/p>\n<p>I love love love this shade. It&#8217;s a warm terracotta shade and it adds so much depth to any look. Even though it&#8217;s a deep shade, it doesn&#8217;t feel dark. I also love how nourishing the formula feels and that it glides on effortlessly and doesn&#8217;t need a lipliner. It&#8217;s a lipstick that I know I&#8217;ll actually enjoy having on my lips.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Shade: Daydream<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1094085 size-full js-inline-lazy-load\" alt=\"\" width=\"629\" height=\"629\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/KJB-Daydream_falsexfalse_true_70.webp\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Like Francesca, I tried Daydream and it&#8217;s not my favorite. I don&#8217;t think it looks bad, but it reads more mauve on my skin tone than berry, and because it&#8217;s so opaque I think it looks a bit jarring.

The formula itself is sooo creamy! Like I was slathering body butter on my lips. The fade was also very forgiving, which I appreciate, since I tend to forget to reapply throughout the day.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"disclaimers__after_content mb-[18px] mt-[16px] pt-[16px]\">\n<div class=\"outline-earmark relative mt-[8px] pt-[10px] pl-[20px]\">\n<p>\n            Our editors independently select these products.
