This is way more creamy like a lipstick vs a lip tint. I bought 7 Tea Rose, and it's a really amazing nude color for all skin types. I've received so many compliments on it. The applicator is a sponge tip, which is nice for dabbing it (rather than with your finger). I didn't notice too much of a difference when building layers. It smells like roses. It stays on unless you're eating and drinking. All in all, a great product but doesn't stain like a tint.
