I've heard a couple of people say they don't like this, but I like it a lot. It is flesh toned, in a tube with a sponge applicator. It is like a thin concealer. It makes a nude base on my lips. It definitely makes the Rimmel Lip vinyl glosses go on thicker and stay on. I've also used it under the MAC 12 lip kit that was sold for the Holidays. The 12 lip kit is not very good. It seems like fake MAC-not very pigmented and flies off my lips. However, with this lip grip the 12 kit performance is much improved. I definitely recoomend it for people who use thick glosses, but because it is a nude base, the gloss may look a slightly different color. In my case, this isn't bad.
