This is a amber/bronze shimmery lipstick. It goes on sheer and is quite build-able. I don't wear this color often because it is a bit too 'nude' for me but would be great as a lip topper on other colors such as reds, browns, used as a highlighter for cheeks, etc or for special occasions.
Let's compare PHL 108 lipstick to the other gold lipsticks I have:
Wet N Wild Limited Edition Gimme Gold.
J. Cat Beauty Fantabulous FL 146 Gold Globe.
I hope these photos help you decide on the choosing your gold tone lipstick.
