Canmake Melty Luminous Rouge in #04

The sheerness of this lippie makes us want to call it a “jelly lipstick”. Because of its texture, dressing your lips in this gives your lips an irresistible, candy-like appearance.

Its shade is definitely more brown compared to others on our list, which makes it a darker, richer shade that has an alluring vibe.

Lancome L’Absolu Rouge Intimatte in #274 Killing Me Softly

For a pinker variation of a “cinnamon milk tea” lipstick, try the Lancome L’Absolu Rouge Intimatte in shade #274 Killing Me Softly.

Instead of a red undertone, this lippie has a pink one. This makes the entire shade slightly lighter and rosier than the others.

It blurs the lips ever so slightly for a diffused, just-kisssed look. You might even forget that you’re wearing lipstick too because of its lightweight formula.
