I tried this on on my last visit to Sephora. I applied it carefully and conscientiously because I wanted to see how it performed, and a quick dab doesn't hack it when you're road-testing l/s. Anyway, after meandering about the place for some time (I spend HOURS at Sephora) I checked my lips again. To begin with, this is the GENUINE nude. It's only slightly lighter than my natural lips, not the ridiculously unrealistic, Dracula-just-drained-me, beige color I hate so much. This actually looks (gasp!) natural. I cannot speak of longevity since I didn't drink, or eat, or anything like that. It's matte, but not dry-as-spackle matte. So why only 4 lippies? $24 for a lip balm? Too expensive. Other than that, I like it.

the color is probably not suitable / natural looking for tanned - medium skin folks..maybe more so for fairER -'caucasion-LIGHHHT' skin....it just looks like a weird barbie plum pink on me ...ew and photographs that way too... at first i was impressed how soft it made my lips feels... i felt the moisture content.. but soon it wore off..
also it wears more like a lipstick than a tint... if ur oily skin like me, it looks WEIRD to have really matte lips!!!
and it comes off easily when i apply chapstick over...
lastly its frkn EXPENSIVE 31 dollarsss ....not worth it

I absolutely love the color of this lip color. It goes on pretty smooth, but it is a little drying when compared to other shades in the matte line. I just put on a little lip balm about 5 minutes before applying and the dryness issue disappears.
One of my favorite things about this color is that it lasts a very long time. I have a very busy workday and I rarely have time to even think about reapplying lipstick.
I would definitely repurchase this product.

I'm very happy with this. I think of it as a kind of dense/concentrated lipstick: it's thicker, has better staying power and is a slightly more moisturizing than most lipsticks I have tried. Exposed is just ever so slightly darker than my natural lip color, so that a few layers give a subtly "done-up" but still natural look. I would describe the color as a dusty nude rose (?). I apply it over a light, well rubbed-in layer of lip balm or jojoba oil because otherwise it's too dry, causing uneven pigmentation, clumping, and/or flaking (even after exfoliating my lips). I love the mintiness, and something about it is just fun to apply, maybe because it reminds me of a jumbo crayon. One gripe with packaging is that I keep scraping/smushing the product with the edge of the cap when recapping it. I might just be unusually clumsy or inattentive, though. It's also expensive, and I seem to be going through it pretty quickly (partly due to the smushing issue); I bought it during a 30% off sale, which is still a bit more than I'm comfortable paying for lip color, to be honest. I would purchase again but only on sale or on eBay... I almost never buy makeup at full price, though. Oh, and it's vegan!!!, which is why I chose this one over the original, non-matte kind.

I bought this looking for a nude pink lip color, but on my pigmented lips it turned a fake Barbie pink somehow. I also did not find this moisturizing at all! I had high hopes for this product but was disappointed.

I just bought this, and I'm absolutely loving it! I was looking for a color similar to that of Rose Huntington-Whiteley's lips (she's fortunate enough to have a great natural lip shade), so I posted a message here on MUA for recommendations. Two people recommended this shade, so I decided to try it out and it's absolutely perfect! It's my HG mlbb lipcolor! I wouldn't really call it a "nude". It's a light/medium mauvey pink color that can be worn with a large combination of looks. Price-wise, it's ridiculously expensive considering how much product you get (not much), so that's the only real downfall about it for me. I like that this isn't like a traditional stain, because those usually apply very unevenly on my lips and end up drying them out. These apply opaquely if you want them to, and they last a very long time (I can go about 4 hours before I start thinking about reapplying or applying some gloss). I don't find these to be drying, but they definitely don't increase lip moisture by 6000% like Tarte claims! (I think that claim is just completely ridiculous, but anyway....) I couldn't be happier with this, and even though it's very pricey, I'd happily purchase it again!

One of my favorite Lip Tint! The color Exposed is a very natural neutral. It is just like my lip color with a hint of good shine.
I used to ask why people would like a lip product that's their own lip color? Well because it's very natural looking and suitable for everyday use.
This tint goes on minty with slight tingle (I love everything minty), and the staying power is decent, but I also not those person that reapply their makeup through out the day. (yes, including lip color) Unless my lips feel exceptionally dry.
BIG cons, the packaging.... 90% of the time, the "pencil" will broke off. I have owned two of them prior and they both broke off. I've recently bought the third one and hopefully this one stays...

Okay, so THIS is my HG nude. Thought I'd found it with another brand's lipstick, but this one tops them all. I am so happy to finally have Exposed; it'd been out of stock at Ulta, Sephora and Tarte for a little while. Having finally received it in the mail, I can say it's even more gorgeous on in full strength than the store's tester suggested. It's a gorgeous rosy, brownish/beige nude color that I imagine flatters every woman. The feel is wonderful, too. Not at all drying like the mattes from Tarte used to be. No clumping or caking, just a lovely natural, rich, MLBB shade. This looks and feels like the best money ever spent on a lip product. Exposed, Hope, and Envy are staples in my daily makeup tote. Get it!
