Step 1: Prep lips with a gentle exfoliation and a light moisturising balm. Allow full absorption. Step 2: Line the lips with a warm nude or peachy-coral liner for precise definition and extended wear. Step 3: Load the applicator wand and begin at the cupid's bow of the upper lip, tracing the shape, then fill in both lips completely. Step 4: Gently press lips together to distribute the product and remove any excess. Step 5: For a bold, warm peach look, blot and layer a second coat after the first sets. For a soft peach stain, use a single light application. Tip: Concentrate the colour at the centre of both lips and blend slightly outward for a warm, gradient peach effect.

Q: Is Monte Carlo more orange or more peachy? A: Monte Carlo (SMLC 10) leans more peachy than orange — it has warm golden-peach undertones rather than a true orange. The warmth reads as sun-kissed and natural rather than overtly orange or bold. Q: How is Monte Carlo different from Amsterdam in the same range? A: Amsterdam (SMLC 01) is a classic pink-nude — warmer and pinker but not peachy. Monte Carlo (SMLC 10) is distinctly warmer and more peachy-orange in tone. Monte Carlo reads as a more summery, warmer nude compared to Amsterdam's classic pink-nude. Q: Which skin tones does Monte Carlo flatter most? A: Monte Carlo particularly flatters medium, olive, tan, and deep skin tones, where it reads as a gorgeous natural warm nude. On fair and light skin it creates a warm, energetic peachy contrast that is especially vivid and striking. Q: Can Monte Carlo be worn in winter as well as summer? A: Yes, though it is particularly at home in warm-weather looks. In winter, pair it with warm brown or bronze tones in the rest of your makeup to keep the warm peachy effect feeling intentional and seasonal. Q: Is Monte Carlo close to any other NYX shades in the collection? A: Of the city shades in this batch, Monte Carlo is the warmest and most peachy. Stockholm is cooler and more pinkish-peachy, Amsterdam is warmer but more pink-nude. Monte Carlo sits in its own warm-peach territory that is distinct from all others.
