    What the gurus are saying

    This cool-toned mauve shade closely matches natural lip color, making it particularly flattering for people with fair skin who find other lip liners pull too warm or gray. The hydrating gel formula sculpts while defining, and reviewers praise how the single shade works for everyday wear with or without gloss. At $13, it's an affordable staple worth trying.

    The BEST in Beauty for February 2024 (SO. GOOD.)
    "This is also from the Sephora collection, it's their Rouge Gel Lip Liner in the shade Sink or Suede. This is a product that I heard about from Julie Camille over on TikTok and she was saying that this is the perfect shade of lip liner for fair skin. I immediately bought it because it looks so pretty on her and I have been obsessed. It is such a perfect mauvey pink color but it's not too deep of a mauve, so it's really especially going to be flattering for fair skin tones. If you have a more fair to light skin tone and you have a hard time finding a lip liner that you feel looks natural on you, try this one out. It's so beautiful, the color is insane, I love it. Plus it's also very, very affordable since it's from the Sephora collection."
    What I Bought at Sephora This Week (Trying Everything)
    "This is one of their Rouge gel lip liners, these retail for $13, so another really good price point. The one I picked up is Sink or Suede, this looks like it's going to be the perfect pinky mauve. Oh my gosh, it literally blends into my natural lip color. The thing I like about this is it's cool tone but it's not like gray, so it sculpts your lips. This literally looks like my lips but better."

    What's ACTUALLY in Lisa J's Makeup Bag?!
    "This is the Sephora Collection Sink or Suede lip liner. It is like proper mauve cool tone, and for me and my skin tone I just look for something like this that kind of sculpts the lips a little bit more. I love this color so much, very cool tone. It's especially good for, as a fair skin tone lady, I feel like lip liners can pull super warm. I'm obsessed with more cool tone lip liners and this is my go-to right now."
    What I'd Buy for YOU at Sephora RIGHT NOW 😍
    "The Sephora Collection lip liners are 30 percent off, and the shade Sink Or Suede is insane. If you had to pick one, I'd say go with this one. I also really love Dress To The 90s, both are incredible. I'm wearing Sink Or Suede all over the lips with just a gloss on top and I'm obsessed. The formula is fabulous, really hydrating and nice."
