Chai is a warm, spiced neutral — the shade you reach for without thinking, that goes with everything and asks nothing of the rest of your face. What makes it worth keeping in the handbag rather than the drawer is the formula. This is a creamy, long-wearing lip colour with caring botanicals worked through it, so lips stay soothed and softened rather than dried out over a long day. The finish is a comfortable satin with a velvety semi-matte look — enough depth to feel considered, not so matte that it tightens or emphasises texture. It's one of sixteen shades in the collection, ranging from everyday nudes to statement reds across warm and cool tones. Four grams, and it applies cleanly over itself for touch-ups without going patchy.
