MY 2 CENTS
Shy Girl was the free gift I received at the Estee Lauder Warehouse Sale last month.

I really love the color of Shy Girl. It’s described as “a nuetral, coral beige” but I really feel it’s more of a muted/soft peach with a hint of pink. I think it would suit a wide range of skin tones. It’s not completely opaque, I do see a hint of my natural lip color.

Shy Girl is a cremesheen finish, which are supposed to be creamy but tend to be a little drying. It wears comfortably for about 5 hours before I need to add a layer of balm or reapply the lipstick.
Just like prepping to wear a matte lipstick, your lips should be exfoliated and quite smooth before applying any Cremesheen finish, otherwise it slightly clumps and/or settles into the fine lines of your lips.

      The hint of peach is the best part! Pastel is coming back this Spring :)

    I think I need a hint of color. Nude totally washes me out.
