A pinkish nude shade that suites almost any skin tone is the crowning lippie that most of the girls requested for—including 2nd runner up Andrea Tovar of Columbia, top six contestant Chalita Suansane of Thailand, and top 13 finalist Valeria Piazza of Peru. This shade can also be mixed with either Ruby Woo and Please Me to get the right tone of pink.
