Byredo Lipstick 3g - 252 China Plum Sun Protection though one keeps edges sharpChina Plum is a deep dusty mauve the shade that sits between plum and grey without looking bruised. It lands matte but not chalky, and the pigment goes on even without a base, so you're not fighting texture. 3g stick, twist up with a flat edge. Pairs cleanly with a nude liner if you want definition, or skip it and lean into the blur.
