Is Emerald Scarlet a true red or does it lean orange?

It is a bright scarlet red with a warm edge, not a blue-red. The shine finish makes it look lighter on the lips than in the bullet.

How long does the shine finish last?

A few hours at most before it fades to a stain. Eating and drinking speed this up, so plan on a touch-up.

No. The cream formula is lightweight and comfortable, though it is not a treatment lipstick and offers no long-term care.

A liner helps with a glossy red like this one. It controls bleeding at the edges and keeps the shape as the shine wears off.

Same creamy feel as the brand's classic line, but with a shinier finish and a collectible gold case. The color range is much smaller.

No. The gold case is not refillable, so the lipstick is used up and replaced as a whole.
