Listen, I’m very choosy about my lip liners. A mauve-brown shade is my failsafe, and I’ve solely discovered one perfect match that deepens my pure lip shade whereas showing completely pure. Then I attempted these Anfisa liners. Gloriously cool-toned and richly pigmented, these creamy little pencils fairly actually double the dimensions of my lips and do not smear inside minutes of making use of. After testing every of the 4, versatile shades, I genuinely discover it not possible to select a favourite, however I’ll say that Burnt Toffee (a wealthy caramel) hasn’t left my bag since I’ve introduced it residence. It provides only a trace of shade to exactly blur my Cupid’s bow (my favourite approach to create the phantasm of quantity) with out wanting like I severely overlined my lips.

It’s a decent edit of 4 earth-toned shades that, unsurprisingly, lend themselves properly to combining with the gloss. I gravitated in the direction of Bruised Rhubarb, a heat rosy taupe that I can already envision turning into my new on a regular basis shade. The liner is matte and works very properly for definition—the location and shade locked in virtually instantly. I smudged the sides for a extra lived-in really feel since I favor a barely blurred impact with my liner, however in any other case was impressed at how properly the colour stayed in place. I’m excited to check out one of many deeper shades for a full night-out glam as a result of I’ve a sense the pencils will turn out to be my new foundations for daring lip moments.”

Shade: Bruised Rhubarb
“I like each ‘smoked,’ ‘burnt,’ and ‘bruised’ shade, however my favourite is the lightest one: rhubarb. It’s a rosy-taupe hue that is one or two shades darker than my pure lip shade—the right distinction for natural-looking definition. As somebody who loves a blurred, French-girl lip look, I respect the velvety, suede-like texture. It glides simply onto my lips with out tugging or pulling. Lately, I’ve been carrying them beneath my favourite matte lipsticks or including a swipe of sheer gloss on prime after I want additional hydration.”

As Brascia previously mentioned, “I’m choosy about my lip liners, however I have not been capable of cease utilizing the lab samples I used to be despatched of those hydrating pencils since I obtained them earlier this summer time. Each swipe is a creamy, light caress, which normally signifies that the method will smudge or feather off in minutes, proper? Wrong! This is without doubt one of the first truly hydrating pencil liners I’ve used that can keep for hours, even after sipping on a martini.”
