Note: I'll add photos as soon as I can. TLDR: Pros: - SUPER long lasting - buildable - doesn't dry out your lips Cons: - Messy (but this is the norm for stains) - You need to dip the wand in to get more product a lot of times for the lines to be thick enough to peel - It does stain your hands - May require multiple rounds before you get the colour you want I have very thin lips so I usually overline when I'm going for a full glam makeup look. Because my lips are so thin though, I always struggled on light/no makeup days. Tinted glosses or oils never looked right unless I at least defined my lips with liner. I decided to try this and omg it's a game changer. I even started putting it on before using regular lip liner and liquid lipstick cause it really helps if you overline your lips. I did two rounds of this the other night. Layered it on thick, let it sit for 10 minutes, then did another round to darken it a bit more. It actually outlasted my liquid lipstick (Anastasia Beverly Hills in Crush) and lip liner (Nyx Suede in Sandstorm). I stupidly fell asleep with my makeup on. Woke up the next morning looking like a whole mess, but this stuff stayed in place. Some of it wouldn't even come off after double cleansing. I didn't take a photo cause I was too busy dying but I'll try to post one hours after wearing it in the future lmao. I will say it takes some getting used to. It's VERY thick so it can be messy, but that's the norm for all stains I've used, even eyebrow stains. Here are some tips for people struggling: - Exfoliate lips before using - Layer it THICK. you want it to be thick enough to peel off, so don't be afraid to dip the wand in multiple times while lining your lips - If it isn't dark enough for you after you peel it off, do another round - If you have parts that didn't peel off, just take a SLIGHTLY damp cloth and gently rub it off - If you plan to overline your lips, you'll likely still want to put a lipstick on top. But if you're just defining your lips, you should be fine with nothing or just a gloss/oil. - It can stain your hands so if you mess up and need to wipe some off, use a paper towel, q-tip or wear gloves.
