Chai Love You
Chai Love You
Chai Love You is a sophisticated nude with a reddish brown undertone, warm and muted rather than pink or peachy. Worn lightly, it settles into a soft, rosy nude that lets your natural lip color show through, while a bolder layer deepens into a rich, anchoring mauve-brown, and on alabaster skin it takes on an orangey pink hue. It's an easy, versatile shade that adds just the right amount of polish without overpowering the rest of your look. A year-round go-to, we're thrilled to be bringing it back.

"Obsessed with this lipstick color. I’ve purchased it in the past too. This is my second tube. I feel like it’s better than before. It’s hard to describe but it’s the perfect medium nude/brown/warm shade. Nudes tend to wash me out. This one is so flattering on my medium olive skin. My lips but amped up better color. It’s my go to!"

One of my favorite shades. These lipsticks have been a life changer for me, I use them instead of things like chapstick or Carmex. Gluten-free here and finally my lips aren't constantly chapped and peeling

I LOVE this lipstick!I love the subtle color, and the fact that I can build it up if I want to. I have fair warm skin, and medium reddish brown hair. Until now, most lipsticks either looked too blue or too pink on me; even though I was searching for warm colors. I totally loved the lipstick tutorial as well. Thank you RAL!
