I was a little hesitant to try this because the color seemed bright in the tube.  While I love red lip colors, I don't often have occasion to wear them.  However, I gave it a go and, color-wise, I'm glad I did.  The color of this product is fairly subtle; I had to go over my lips a time or two to get it to show up.  But it's a nice, light red on my lips (I have the Tokyo shade) and is a really good color for the office.  It even matches my favorite red shirt.
