Early verdict · Few reviews so farWhat the gurus are saying
The dual-shade design earns appreciation for the gradient lip effect it creates, but the darker shade lands too glossy and balmy when it should be matte or semi-matte to properly define the lip line. That means anyone wanting sharp, crisp definition might be disappointed. However, those who prefer a softer, blended lip look could find the texture suits their style perfectly.
