Australia's #1 Lipstick: The Complete Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick Guide

Australia's #1 Lipstick: The Complete Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick Guide Since 1952, Revlon Super Lustrous has been the lipstick Australian women reach for first. The formula works. You get four finishes to choose from: moisturising Crème (the original), Pearl (subtle shimmer), Luscious Mattes (comfortable matte), and Glass Shine (high gloss). All of them contain 80% conditioning ingredients. That's Vitamin E and Avocado Oil keeping your lips moisturised so they don't feel dry by lunchtime. This guide walks you through each finish, helps you find shades that suit your skin tone, and shows you how to apply them properly. Whether you want an everyday nude, a classic red, or something bold, there's a Super Lustrous shade for it. Quick Guide Not Sure Which Super Lustrous Finish You Need? Here's the quick version: Crème Finish: The original. Moisturising with a soft shine. Good for everyday wear and if you have dry lips. Lasts 3 to 5 hours Pearl Finish: Adds subtle shimmer without looking glittery. Perfect for evening wear and photography The Luscious Mattes: Matte that won't dry out your lips. Infused with Agave and Moringa Oil. Lasts 6 to 8 hours and won't transfer to your coffee cup Glass Shine: High gloss, mirror finish. One swipe and you're done. Very 2024 All the formulas have what Revlon calls LiquiSilk technology. This means they glide on smoothly and feel light on your lips. Why Super Lustrous is Australia's Most Trusted Lipstick The numbers tell the story. Super Lustrous is the #1 selling lipstick in Australia, and there's a good reason why. The formula has 80% conditioning ingredients. Most lipsticks sit around 60 to 70%. That might not sound like much, but you feel the difference. It's the gap between comfortable all-day wear and needing to check mirrors every couple of hours. The LiquiSilk technology is what gives you that smooth, glide-on application Super Lustrous is known for. Vitamin E protects your lips from sun and wind damage. Avocado Oil keeps them moisturised without feeling greasy or heavy. The pigments are ground super fine (they call them microfine pigments). This means you get intense colour without that heavy, thick feeling some lipsticks have. It's proper colour payoff that feels like almost nothing on your lips. Here's the thing about price: Super Lustrous costs $8 to $15. Luxury lipsticks charge $40 to $60 for the same quality, sometimes worse. After 35 years selling beauty in Australia, we've tested everything. Most expensive lipsticks don't perform any better than this. Australian weather is harsh on makeup. Humidity, heat, strong sun. Super Lustrous was reformulated specifically to handle these conditions. That's why it dominates here compared to international brands that are made for milder Northern Hemisphere climates. The Icons That Started It All Every legendary brand has its origin story. For Super Lustrous, that story began with two shades that revolutionised how women thought about lipstick. Fire & Ice (1952) - The Original game changer The first Super Lustrous shade ever created changed lipstick marketing forever. The 1952 campaign featuring model Dorian Leigh didn't sell lipstick-it sold attitude, confidence, independence. The shade itself surprised everyone. Not a safe pink or demure rose, Fire & Ice delivered orange-based coral-red that looked bold in the tube but surprisingly wearable on lips. The coral undertone works across more skin tones than expected, That's why it remains a bestseller 70+ years later. Fire & Ice defined what "iconic lipstick" means: memorable name, marketing, wearable colour that never goes out of style. Cherries in the Snow (1953) - The Timeless Cherry-Pink One year after Fire & Ice, Revlon launched Cherries in the Snow using Dorian Leigh again. The formula works so well that it's now available across three finishes: original Crème, modern Luscious Matte, and contemporary Glass Shine. This cherry-pink shade sits right in the middle-not quite red, not quite pink, but bold but still wearable for work, weekends, and everything between. The matching nail polish remains in continuous production since 1953, making it one of beauty's longest-running unchanged formulas. When a formula works this well, you don't fix it. Cherries in the Snow - The Luscious Mattes → The iconic 1953 shade reimagined in comfortable matte finish. Cherry-pink that works from fair to deep skin tones, with botanical blend of Agave, Moringa Oil, and Cupuacu Butter for 6 to 8-hour transfer-resistant wear without drying. The embossed bullet in matte-touch tube gives you luxury feel while keeping the classic colour that's been loved for seven decades. Cherries in the Snow - Glass Shine → Modern Innovation: The 1953 classic transformed into high-gloss, mirror-like finish. Hybrid formula gives you lipstick pigmentation with gloss shine in one step-no separate gloss needed. The vinyl-like finish makes contemporary look while keeping the cherry-pink colour that made this shade legendary. Perfect for modern makeup lovers who want heritage shade with trend-forward finish. Crème Finish Super Lustrous: The Original Moisturising Formula This is the formula that started everything in 1952. The Crème finish is what made Super Lustrous legendary-good moisture, buildable coverage, comfortable wear that lasts hours without feeling heavy. The 80% conditioning ingredient percentage makes a measurable difference. You feel it immediately upon application. The formula glides across lips with zero tugging or pulling, depositing colour evenly without settling into lip lines. Coverage builds beautifully. One swipe gives you sheer, your-lips-but-better colour. Two swipes increase opacity to medium coverage. Three swipes create full, saturated colour. This buildability means one lipstick serves multiple looks depending on application technique. The soft satin shine adds dimension without looking glossy or shiny. Perfect for professional settings where full gloss feels inappropriate but matte looks too severe. Wear time averages 3 to 5 hours with comfortable feel throughout. Reapplication smooths on easily without patchiness or build-up-critical for midday touch-ups. Best for: Everyday wear, dry lips, building colour gradually, professional settings, anyone new to bold colours. How to Apply Crème Finish for All-Day Comfort Step 1: Apply lip balm 5 minutes before lipstick, then blot excess oils with tissue. Over-moisturising breaks down the formula faster. Step 2: Apply one thin layer from centre outward for sheer coverage, or build with 2 to 3 layers for full opacity. Let each layer set 10 seconds before adding more. Step 3: Blot once with tissue after first application to remove excess oils whilst setting the base layer. Step 4: Reapply second layer for longer-lasting colour that survives eating and drinking better than single application. Step 5: Skip powder on lips-Crème finish needs natural oils for comfortable wear and preventing that dry, cakey feeling. Pink in the Afternoon → Perfect everyday pink that works as "your lips but better" shade for fair to medium skin tones. Soft rose-pink with neutral undertones adapts to natural lip colour for flattering, effortless look. The buildable formula means subtle wash of colour for day or built-up intensity for evening. has LiquiSilk technology for smooth application and Vitamin E for lip conditioning throughout wear. Rose Velvet → Sophisticated rose-mauve that elevates everyday makeup without looking overdone. The velvety texture gives you medium coverage in one swipe, while cool-toned rose works beautifully on fair to deep skin tones. Perfect for office environments where you want polished, professional appearance without bold colour. The creamy formula prevents settling into lip lines, making it ideal for mature skin. Black Cherry → Deep berry that became cult favourite across multiple finishes. Rich, wine-toned burgundy works autumn through winter but still surprisingly wearable for everyday. The buildable formula lets you sheer berry stain or full opacity depending on application technique. Universal flattering shade that complements fair, medium, and deep skin tones without washing out or looking too harsh. Love That Pink → Heritage Icon Since 1955: Watermelon-pink that defined feminine beauty in the 1950s and remains relevant today. The coral-pink undertone prevents looking too sweet or juvenile while keeping approachable, friendly appearance. Buildable from sheer pink tint to vibrant watermelon depending on layers applied. has microfine pigments for colour intensity without heavy feel on lips. The Crème Finish Secret Crème finish is the most forgiving Super Lustrous formula for bold colour beginners. The buildable coverage lets you ease into intensity gradually, and the creamy texture won't emphasise lip lines the way matte formulas can. Start with one light layer, assess, then build to desired intensity. This technique prevents the "too much too fast" mistake that makes people abandon bold colours. Pearl Finish Super Lustrous: Sophisticated Shimmer Without Glitter Pearl finish strikes the perfect balance between understated elegance and eye-catching dimension. Thisn't chunky glitter or obvious sparkle-it's micro-pearl particles that catch light for subtle luminosity. The shimmer technology uses the same moisturising base as Crème finish, meaning identical comfort and wear time with added light-reflecting properties. The micro-pearl doesn't feel gritty or textured-it blends seamlessly into the colour for dimensional finish that photographs beautifully. Australian sunlight makes Pearl finish stunning. The strong, direct light we experience outdoors catches the shimmer particles for fuller-looking lips without obvious glitter. Perfect for outdoor events, beach weddings, summer barbecues where natural light showcases the formula's best qualities. Photography loves Pearl finish. The micro-shimmer adds definition and dimension in photos without flashback or strange reflection issues that metallic finishes sometimes create. Best for: Evening wear, special events, photography, adding dimension to neutral everyday shades, anyone wanting sophistication without full gloss. Coffee Bean → Rich brown-nude with subtle pearl shimmer that elevates neutral lip looks beyond basic. The warm-toned brown works beautifully on medium to deep skin tones while the pearl finish prevents that flat, one-dimensional appearance some brown lipsticks have. Perfect for creating defined lip look without bright colour-ideal for emphasising eyes or drawing attention to bold eyeshadow looks. Goldpearl Plum → Sophisticated plum-berry with golden pearl shimmer makes unexpected elegance. The warm golden pearl prevents the plum base from looking too cool or harsh, while adding dimensional finish that works day through night. stunning on medium to tan skin tones where the golden shimmer complements natural warmth. The buildable formula lets you sheer plum wash or full berry intensity. Violet Frenzy → Bold purple with pink pearl makes statement lip that remains surprisingly wearable. The pink shimmer softens the purple intensity while adding light-catching dimension that prevents flat, costume-like appearance some purple lipsticks have. Works beautifully on fair skin where it makes dramatic contrast, and on deeper skin tones where it adds vibrant pop of colour. Perfect for creative industries or weekend bold looks. Pearl Finish Photography Magic Pearl finish is your secret weapon for photos, selfies, and video calls. The micro-shimmer catches light from every angle, making lips look fuller and more defined without obvious glitter or unnatural shine. For outdoor events where Australian sun gives you strong natural light, Pearl finish makes stunning dimensional effect that Crème and Matte can't match. Professional photographers love this finish because it adds interest without competing with other makeup elements. The Luscious Mattes: Comfortable Matte Revolution Matte lipstick historically meant compromise-accept drying, uncomfortable wear for transfer-resistant colour. The Luscious Mattes changed that equation completely. The formula has 70% conditioning ingredients including Agave, Moringa Oil, and Cupuacu Butter. These aren't token amounts added for marketing claims-they're functional percentages that create genuinely comfortable matte finish. The embossed bullet arrives in distinctive matte-touch tube that signals good positioning. The formula itself gives you velvety matte texture without the drag or tug typical of matte lipsticks. Application smooths on easily despite matte finish, depositing rich, opaque colour in one swipe. Wear time ex6 to 8 hours with transfer-resistant properties that survive eating and drinking significantly better than Crème or Pearl finishes. Colour stays true without fading to different shade throughout day-common problem with inferior matte formulas. The formula won't crack, feather, or settle into lip lines when applied correctly. Proper lip prep prevents common matte lipstick complaints whilst allowing full enjoyment of long-lasting, transfer-resistant benefits. Best for: Long-lasting wear, transfer-resistant colour, modern matte lovers, professional settings requiring low-maintenance makeup, anyone who wants coffee-proof lips. How to Apply Matte Lipstick for Transfer-Resistant Wear Step 1: Exfoliate lips the night before application-matte formulas reveal every flake and dry patch. Use gentle lip scrub or soft toothbrush. Step 2: Apply thin layer of lip balm, wait 5 minutes for absorption, then blot excess with tissue. Balanced moisture prevents drying without creating slippery base. Step 3: Line entire lip with matching lip liner-this makes lasting base that extends wear significantly and prevents feathering. Step 4: Apply lipstick in thin layer using bullet tip for precision application along lip line and full coverage across lips. Step 5: Blot with tissue, then apply second thin layer for colour depth without thickness that causes cracking or peeling throughout day. Spiced Cocoa → Warm brown-nude matte that gives you sophisticated neutral without looking washed out. The spiced undertone adds warmth that complements medium to tan skin tones beautifully while the matte finish makes defined, polished appearance. Perfect for "no-makeup" looks where you want lip definition without colour distraction. The comfortable formula has botanical blend that prevents drying sensation typical of matte lipsticks. Heartbreaker → Deep berry matte that makes statement lip with transfer-resistant confidence. Rich wine-berry shade works autumn through winter while keeping year-round versatility. The matte finish intensifies colour depth, creating bold look that survives meals, drinks, and full workday without fading or transferring. has Moringa Oil and Cupuacu Butter for comfortable 6 to 8-hour wear without reapplication. Black Cherry - The Luscious Mattes → The cult-favourite Black Cherry reimagined in comfortable matte finish. Deep wine-burgundy gives you intense colour payoff in one swipe whilst matte finish makes modern, sophisticated look. The transfer-resistant formula means colour stays on lips, not on coffee cups or wine glasses. has Agave and botanical blend for velvety texture that won't crack or dry out throughout wear. If I Want To → Everyday Matte Nude: Soft nude-pink matte perfect for minimal makeup days when you want lip definition without colour intensity. The featherlight formula feels nearly invisible on lips whilst delivering subtle matte finish and transfer-resistant wear. Works beautifully on fair to light-medium skin tones as natural lip colour enhancer. The comfortable matte texture won't emphasise lip lines, making it suitable for all ages. The Layering Secret Want to turn any Super Lustrous Crème or Pearl shade into transfer-proof matte? Layer The Luscious Mattes in matching nude shade over your favourite colour. Apply your chosen Crème or Pearl lipstick first, blot, then lightly press (don't swipe) a nude matte over top. This technique locks in colour whilst converting finish to transfer-resistant matte. game changer for making shades last through meals and events. Glass Shine Super Lustrous: Mirror-Like High Gloss Glass Shine is Super Lustrous's newest innovation-hybrid formula that gives you lipstick pigmentation with gloss shine in single step. The mirror-shine finish makes vinyl-like gloss without sticky texture that makes traditional lip gloss uncomfortable. The formula glides on smoothly, depositing intense colour and high shine simultaneously. No separate gloss needed, no layering required-one application gives you complete look. The bullet shape differs from standard Super Lustrous-shorter, more compact at 3.1g versus 4.2g for Crème/Pearl/Matte formulas. This concentrated format gives you precise application while keeping portability for touch-ups throughout day. One-swipe opacity means full colour payoff immediately. The pigmentation matches or exceeds standard lipstick while adding glossy dimension that catches light beautifully. This makes Glass Shine perfect for modern makeup looks where high-shine, vinyl lips create statement finish. Several iconic shades received Glass Shine treatment-Cherries in the Snow, Black Cherry, Love Is On-allowing modern interpretation of heritage colours. These reformulations honour original shades whilst updating finish for contemporary preferences. Best for: Maximum impact, trend-focused looks, layering over matte lipstick, modern vinyl lip aesthetic, anyone wanting gloss convenience with lipstick staying power. Glossed Up Rose → Sophisticated rose-pink with mirror-like glass shine makes polished, modern lip look. The hybrid formula gives you full lipstick pigmentation with high-gloss shine in one step-no separate gloss needed. Perfect everyday shade that works office through evening, providing enough colour for definition but still universally flattering. The non-sticky formula comfortable for hours despite high-shine finish. Love Is On → Vibrant pink with glass shine finish makes bold, attention-grabbing lip look. The intense pigmentation gives you full colour payoff in one swipe whilst mirror-like shine adds dimensional finish perfect for evening wear or special events.

The glass shine amplifies colour depth while adding light-catching dimension. Perfect for evening events, date nights, or any occasion where you want bold lip that commands attention. One-swipe opacity means full colour payoff immediately. Glass Shine Layering Technique Create dimensional lip look by layering Glass Shine over Luscious Matte. Apply matte lipstick as base, let set for 30 seconds, then dab (don't swipe) Glass Shine only in centre of lips. This technique combines transfer-resistance of matte with plumping shine effect of gloss-modern, dimensional finish that photographs beautifully. The contrast between matte edges and glossy centre makes fuller-looking lips without obvious overlining or lip plumping products. Super Lustrous The Gloss: High-Shine Lip Gloss Without Stick Whilst not technically lipstick, Super Lustrous The Gloss deserves recognition as perfect companion to the lipstick range. The formula gives you high shine without sticky, uncomfortable texture that makes traditional lip gloss annoying to wear. The non-tacky formula feels lightweight on lips whilst providing intense gloss finish that lasts hours. Wand applicator lets you precise application along lip line and full coverage across lips. The doe-foot design picks up best amount of product-not too much, not too little-for easy application every time. The Gloss works three ways: alone for sheer wash of colour with high shine, layered over any Super Lustrous lipstick for added dimension, or dabbed in centre of lips only for plumping effect. This versatility makes single gloss serve multiple purposes. Several shades share names with iconic lipstick colours-Black Cherry, Pink Sky-allowing cohesive looks when layering gloss over matching lipstick shade. Black Cherry - The Gloss → Versatile Berry Gloss: Deep berry gloss that works alone for sheer wine tint or layered over Black Cherry lipstick for dimensional finish. The non-sticky formula gives you high shine without uncomfortable tackiness. Wand applicator makes sure precise application while the moisturising formula keeps lips comfortable for hours. Perfect for adding shine dimension to any berry, plum, or burgundy lipstick shade. Choose Your Perfect Shade by Skin Tone With 50+ shades across four finishes, choosing can feel overwhelming. Undertone matching matters more than skin depth for flattering colour selection. Understanding undertones: Look at veins on inner wrist in natural light. Blue/purple veins indicate cool undertones (choose pink-based shades). Green veins indicate warm undertones (choose coral/peachy shades). Can't tell or see both? You're neutral-every shade works. Fair to Light Skin Tones Cool undertones: Pink in the Afternoon, Rose Velvet, Cherries in the Snow (any finish), Glossed Up Rose work beautifully. Avoid overly warm corals or orange-based reds that clash with pink undertones. Warm undertones: Love That Pink, If I Want To, peachy nudes complement golden undertones without looking washed out. Warm-toned berries like Heartbreaker provide depth without harsh contrast. Neutral undertones: Any shade works-lucky you. Start with universally flattering shades like Pink in the Afternoon, Rose Velvet, or Spiced Cocoa for foolproof options. Medium to Tan Skin Tones Cool undertones: Wine With Everything, Black Cherry (any finish), Violet Frenzy create stunning contrast against cool-toned medium skin. Berry and plum shades flattering. Warm undertones: Coffee Bean, Spiced Cocoa, Goldpearl Plum complement warmth beautifully. Warm-toned reds and berries work better than cool-toned pinks. Neutral undertones: Entire range available-medium skin with neutral undertones handles both warm and cool shades equally well. Deep Skin Tones All undertones: Deep skin tones showcase bold colours beautifully. Black Cherry, Heartbreaker, Violet Frenzy, Coffee Bean all create stunning looks. Avoid shades too close to natural lip colour that disappear-choose colours with enough contrast for definition. Rich, saturated shades work better than pale nudes on deep skin. Berry, plum, burgundy, and chocolate tones flattering across all undertones. The Undertone Test Look at veins on inner wrist in natural Australian sunlight-not artificial lighting. Blue/purple veins mean cool undertones (pink-based shades). Green veins mean warm undertones (coral/peachy shades). See both or can't tell? You're neutral-every Super Lustrous shade will work for you. When testing new shades in-store, apply to fingertip and hold against face in natural light rather than testing on hand. This shows how shade appears against actual face undertones. Application Techniques That Make Super Lustrous Last All Day Formula quality matters, but application technique determines actual wear time and appearance throughout day. The Lip Liner Method (Maximum Longevity) Step 1: Exfoliate lips with gentle scrub the night before important events when you need maximum wear time. Step 2: Apply thin layer of lip balm, wait 5 minutes for absorption, then blot excess oils with tissue before lipstick application. Step 3: Outline lips with matching lip liner, then fill entire lip with liner-this makes lasting base that extends wear significantly. Step 4: Apply Super Lustrous lipstick over lined lips, depositing colour smoothly across entire surface without gaps. Step 5: Blot with tissue, reapply lipstick for colour depth, then set with light dusting of translucent powder (optional, for maximum longevity). The Blot & Build Method (Natural Finish) Step 1: Apply lipstick directly from bullet using gentle pressure for even coverage across lips. Step 2: Blot once with tissue to remove excess oils and set base layer of colour. Step 3: Apply second layer of lipstick for increased colour intensity and coverage depth. Step 4: Blot again lightly-this makes stained effect that lasts longer than single application. Step 5: Final thin layer if desired for full opacity and richest colour payoff throughout wear. The Gradient Lip Method (K-Beauty Trend) Step 1: Apply lipstick to centre of lips only, avoiding outer edges and lip line completely. Step 2: Pat outward with clean fingertip to diffuse colour towards edges, creating soft gradient effect. Step 3: Build intensity in centre whilst keeping edges soft and diffused for natural, just-bitten appearance. Step 4: This technique works best with Crème and Glass Shine finishes-matte formulas don't diffuse as easily. Common Super Lustrous Problems: Solved Troubleshooting Your Super Lustrous Experience Lipstick feathering into lip lines? Line entire lip with lip liner before applying Super Lustrous-the waxy liner makes barrier preventing colour migration. For extra insurance, lightly dust translucent powder around (not on) lip line before application. This absorbs oils that cause feathering. Colour looks different on lips than in tube? Natural lip colour shows through, affecting final appearance. For true-to-tube colour, apply concealer to lips first for neutral base, let set, then apply Super Lustrous. This technique important when wearing bold colours or working with shades significantly different from natural lip colour. Crème finish not lasting through meals? You're over-moisturising before application. Apply lip balm 10 minutes before lipstick, then blot thoroughly before colour application. Excess oils break down formula faster. Alternatively, switch to The Luscious Mattes for transfer-resistant wear during meals. Matte finish feeling dry after 2 hours? Apply thin layer of The Gloss or clear gloss over matte shade. This adds moisture without removing transfer-resistant properties. The key is using gloss sparingly-too much converts matte back to cream finish. Shade too bold for comfort level? Pat (don't swipe) lipstick onto lips with fingertip for sheer stain instead of full opacity. This technique gives you colour without intensity. Or blend with clear lip balm on back of hand before applying for custom sheerness level. Lipstick breaking in tube from Australian heat? Store Super Lustrous in cool, dry place-never in hot car or direct sunlight. Australian heat softens lipstick quickly. If broken, warm slightly with hairdryer on low setting and reshape back into tube whilst soft.

Crème finish gives you soft satin shine without shimmer particles-it's the original 1952 formula with 80% conditioning ingredients. Pearl finish adds subtle micro-shimmer for dimensional, light-catching effect while keeping identical moisturising base. Both offer 3 to 5-hour comfortable wear. Choose Crème for everyday, professional settings, or when you want pure colour. Choose Pearl for evening wear, photography, or adding dimension without full gloss shine. Are The Luscious Mattes comfortable to wear? Yes. The Luscious Mattes contain 70% conditioning ingredients including Agave, Moringa Oil, and Cupuacu Butter-significantly higher than traditional matte lipsticks at 40 to 50%. This makes velvety matte finish without dry, tight feeling. Most wearers report 6 to 8 hours comfortable wear with transfer-resistant properties. The formula won't crack, feather, or settle into lip lines when applied over properly prepped lips. Proper lip prep (exfoliation, balanced moisture) prevents any drying sensation. How long does Super Lustrous lipstick last? Wear time varies by finish and application technique. Crème finish lasts 3 to 5 hours with comfortable wear, requiring reapplication after eating. Pearl finish performs similarly at 4 to 5 hours. The Luscious Mattes deliver 6 to 8 hours transfer-resistant wear-longest lasting finish. Glass Shine gives you 3 to 4 hours with easy reapplication. All formulas reapply smoothly without patchiness. Using lip liner base and blot-and-build application technique extends wear time significantly across all finishes. Can I layer Glass Shine over Matte lipstick? Absolutely-this technique makes modern, dimensional lip look. Apply The Luscious Matte lipstick as base, let set for 30 seconds, then dab (don't swipe) Glass Shine only in centre of lips. This combines transfer-resistance of matte with plumping shine effect in centre. The contrast between matte edges and glossy centre makes fuller-looking lips while keeping longer wear than gloss alone. This layering technique popular for photography and evening events. Is Super Lustrous suitable for mature skin or lip lines? Yes, particularly Crème and Matte finishes. The 80% conditioning ingredient percentage in Crème prevents settling into lip lines better than typical lipsticks. The Luscious Mattes' comfortable formula won't emphasise texture when applied over properly prepped lips. Avoid Pearl and Glass Shine if you have significant lip lines-shimmer and high shine can emphasise texture. Always use lip liner to prevent feathering, and ensure lips are well-moisturised (but not oily) before application. The creamy, moisturising formulas work beautifully on mature lips when application technique is correct.
