Who it suits

Colour theory suggests NYX First Base works with cool and neutral undertones.

Its light depth sits most naturally on fair, light and medium skin.

A gloss finish is shiny and often sheer, so First Base can read lighter and more translucent on the lips than its hex; payoff depends on the formula.
