How we score →Yay
6 experts · Strong agreementWhat the gurus are saying
Pillow Talk is the shade that keeps earning praise, a soft in-between blend of peach, mauve and a touch of brown that some gurus say suits their own skin tone. The formula is the sticking point, though: some gurus found it loose and uneven when swiped on like a regular lipstick. The one thing to keep in mind: tapping it onto the lips may give a smoother, more even finish.
