The lipstick's finish is matte, which personally I like cause it can give lips a fuller and sexier look. It's the kind of color you can wear on a night out and can easily be worn during the day. It's not pale such as, Myth or Hue, but more of a beige-rose toned color which works a lot better. Honeylove now seems to be one of the perfect nudes any Doll can have in her collection. I recently purchased 'Honeylove' from MAC's permanent lipstick line and I'm currently obsessed! I kept reading about it on various blogs and since I'm a nude-lipstick-lover I was tempted to try it out and I'm so glad that I did!
