"For lip liner I still think that the Sephora Collection Rouge gel liners are incredible."

My Favorite Makeup Products In EVERY Category... Part 2!

"Maybe I decluttered it just because I liked these better, why can I not remember? Anyway, these two are beautiful. Right here we have the nudest, and next to it, which, like I was talking about, just looks very purple, is Sink or Suede. The Sephora Collection Rouge Gel Liners are super creamy, really nice and comfortable to apply, but they do have a little bit of a glossier finish, definitely compared to the Charlotte Tilbury, which is a bit more matte and blurred."

My Top 10 2023 Makeup Favorites!

"My favorite lip liner that I tried this year is definitely the Sephora Collection Rouge Gel Liner in the shade The Nudest. [...] I have officially found my perfect lip liner shade, [...] a moderately cool toned [...] pinky nude which matches my natural lip color perfectly. I've found that [...] a lot of their lip pencils look different in the tube than they do on, so it's worth going to the store and seeing their lip pencils in person if you're not sure which shade will work for you."

"You guys know that I love love love the Sephora Rouge gel lip liners. I have four different shades now. [...] My current favorite shade [...] is 01 The Nudest, but I also have 29 Dressed to the 90s, 28 Sinker Suede, and 03 Rose Wine. I love the feel of these, they're definitely a gel kind of slippy but not overly slippy pencil, they don't feel dry, they have a great amount of pigment and they have beautiful shades."

"In the lightest, nudest shade (01), which she avoided buying for a long time assuming it would look too pale on her. It turned out to be her literal perfect "your lips but better" lip liner, matching her natural lip color just a touch darker. Her favorite way to wear it lately is under a lip tint or stain topped with gloss for a natural look, rather than a bold, fully pigmented tint."

"This is such an incredible liner, I cannot believe it's affordable. It is so soft, it has extra slip [...] so it's really nice and comfortable to apply, and it actually has a little bit of a sheen to it so it's not something that looks super dry and flat on the lips. My new favorite shade is [...] zero one the Nudist, it's [...] the lightest option and is the perfect match for my natural lip tone."

"I was testing this out the other week. I put it under my brow bone and I wasn't too loving that, because my lashes touched the top of my brow bone and I was getting a little bit of smudging because of how moist this is. So, just something to be aware of, especially if you're like me and your lids are a little bit oily. It can get a bit smudgy for the eye area depending on your eyes. But for cheekbones, gorgeous."

Top Pick: lip liner

All 6 takes from Allie Glines

The BEST in Beauty for February 2024 (SO. GOOD.)

"It's such a perfect mauvey pink color, but it's not too deep of a mauve, so it's especially going to be flattering for fair skin tones, if you have a fair to light skin tone and have a hard time finding a lip liner that looks natural on you. Try this one out. It's so beautiful, the color is insane, I love it. Plus, it's very, very affordable since it's from the Sephora Collection."

What I Bought at Sephora This Week (Trying Everything)

"It comes in many different shades, but 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 a cool tone, but it's not like gray, so it sculpts your lips. And by the way, I love a good grayish brown lip liner. This literally looks like my lips, but better. Oh my gosh, how pretty is that? I don't want to take this off. This shade is phenomenal."

"Okay, let's do a little bit of lip liner. This is the Sephora Collection Rouge Gel Lip Liner. I love it for every day because it just so closely matches my natural lip color, so I feel like it just looks so good."

Hands Down My #1 Makeup RIGHT NOW

"For lips, I have a new combo that I'm obsessed with right now that I cannot stop reaching for. I start out with the Sephora Collection Rouge Gel Lip Liner in the shade Sink or Suede. This is so pretty, you guys, especially for fair skin tones. If you struggle to find a lip liner that looks natural and you have fair skin, this is seriously so good. I just line and fill in my lips with this, and it matches my lip color so perfectly. Look at that, I can't get enough. It's so pretty, I love it."

What's ACTUALLY in Lisa J's Makeup Bag?!

"I love this one. I couldn't not pack this. This is the Sephora Collection Rouge Gel Lip Liner. It is proper mauve, a cool tone, and for my skin tone I just look for something like this that sculpts the lips a little bit more. I love this color so much. It's especially good for a fair-skin lady like me, because lip liners can pull super warm. I'm obsessed with 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."
