The lip balm takes the edge off the matt finish, IMO. I was under the impression she was going to color her lips with a pencil and leave it unfinished, which to me would leave an intense, oddly flat color.

Either way, lip pencils and subtlety don't seem to go hand in hand to me - I've just never seen it done right outside of a magazine.
