I have really dry lips and I am also quite pale and Caucasian. My lips don't have much colour and sometimes (when cold haha) seem like they are the same as my skin. I also have more of a neutral to cold skin colour.

Before using this I got rid of the excess skin on my lips by using a toothbrush and gently rubbing it with circular motions. After that I used Vaseline to moisturize it. I then applied a layer to my lips. I used #1 kumkwat red and it looks like a very VERY reddish PINK on my lips, a bit darker that hot pink though. When I applied it on my lips it had a wet sensation, after a few minutes it became a bit sticky and when it is completely dry (in about 10 min) you don't feel like you have anything on. My lips dried out a bit so I applied some Vasaline. The tint really stained my lips and it stayed on very well. This first layer after a while seemed to become a little patchy (after 2 hours) so I applied some more of the tint. Withouth reaplying it, it stayed on until I went to bed at 3 am and was still hard to remove! (I did eat and drink that day!)

So yeah, Awesome product!

I also used it once without the toothbrush trick and then it stayed on for about 3 to 4 hours with eating.
