The applicator is a sponge tip and the sheer, matte lip colour offers what they call a “blurred effect”, sort of indistinct around the edges.

Electric Blossom is a limited-edition colour, the orange side of a light, bright red. “This is such a tooth-flattering, pale-skin-suitable colour; it’s great for breathing life into winter,” said one panellist.
