Holy heck this Summer season Fridays lip stain is LEGIT. It’s all the things I would like in a lip stain: Exact, extraordinarily long-lasting (by way of consuming and consuming, too!), pigmented sufficient to deliver my boring, lifeless lips again to life and it doesn’t feather/bleed out into my lip strains (thanks, getting old). The tip has two sides — one is extra pointed for a super-precise line whereas the opposite facet is a bit feathered for a softer utility. I desire the exact line for the skin of my lips and the feathered facet to shade them in and have really been blown away by simply how lengthy shade stays on my lips once I use this stain. My favorites are the rosette shade for a deeper shade once I’m going out or carrying a bit extra make-up whereas I desire the slipper shade when I’m not carrying make-up or simply desire a extra refined pop of sunshine shade on my lips. I prefer it greatest with a bit lip balm on high. So fairly!
