Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Color Dark Chocolate

“The look of a satin-matte lipstick meets the feel of a lip balm for our most wearable lip yet. Loaded with crushed pigments and lip-loving ingredients, it’s the ultimate swipe-and-go balm-y lipstick for crush-worthy, feel-good color that lasts all day.” 
Shade specifics: Dark Chocolate is described as “a deep cool brown.” 
One retailer-description:
“Offering a rich, velvety finish, this shade delivers a perfect blend of bold pigment and comfortable wear. Its creamy, moisturizing formula glides on effortlessly, leaving lips feeling soft and hydrated throughout the day.” 

 Key Benefits

• Comfort + wearability: Though it delivers deep pigment, the balm-like finish ensures your lips stay comfortable rather than dry.

• Satin-matte finish: The finish gives a modern look—more relaxed than ultra-matte, but more polished than a simple sheer balm.

• Buildable intensity: You can swipe once for a more diffused “just-kissed” effect, or layer for richer, deeper colour. (As per “swipe once for a blotted-down look; layer for more intense color payoff.”) 

• Rich brown tone: The “Dark Chocolate” shade works well as a bold brown lip, which is trendy, especially for medium-to-deep skin tones or evening looks.

• Lip-loving ingredients: The formula mentions crushed pigments + lip-loving ingredients (such as vitamins E & C, beeswax) that support comfort and feel. 

 How to Use

1. Prep lips:

   • If you have dry or flaky lips, exfoliate or apply a thin balm beforehand so the finish goes on smoothly.

   • Because it’s a richer colour, ensuring your lips are smooth will help the shade appear even.

2. Apply the lipstick:

   • Use the bullet and apply starting at the centre of your lips (upper lip’s cupid-bow, lower lip centre) then move outward to the corners.

   • For a more subtle look: one light swipe and maybe blot slightly with tissue.

   • For full depth: apply a second layer (more colour payoff) to intensify the “Dark Chocolate” tone.

3. Finish & touch-ups:

   • Because the finish is satin-matte, you might not require a heavy gloss or powder—let the richness of colour speak.

   • After meals/drinks: blot and re-apply if needed.

   • For photography or brand visuals: show the deep brown tone in natural light and artificial light to ensure the “chocolate” hue registers well.

4. Pairing & styling tips:

   • Since the shade is deep brown, you might pair it with minimal eye makeup for a statement lip look.

   • In your luxury-beauty branding workflow: highlight this as the “rich brown” lip alternative to nude or red—a premium, sophisticated option.
