I like to use these lip liners all over my lip and then put a top coat of lip gloss on. The mauve luxe has a very small touch of shimmer so it doesn't look cakey on the lips (thank goodness!) The amount of shimmer in the natural blush isn't very visible to the eye unless you look super close, but it keeps it from looking too flat. The natural blush is great for pale skin...It won't last like a $15 pencil all day, but it gets me to lunch until I have to do touch ups. Well worth a dollar! The mauve luxe pencil is much smoother and softer than the blush pencil.
