What they liked

Richly saturated color

What they flagged

Nothing. None of the experts who reviewed it raised a problem.

What the gurus are saying

This liner earns praise for its beautiful colour and smooth application. One thing to keep in mind: it applies quite saturated, so those who prefer a softer look may want to blend or sheer it out with a tissue or finger before setting it.

"For my lips I'm using this liner from Tower 28. This liner was really beautiful but it was a little bit more saturated than what I wanted so I'm really really softening it."

"I'm gonna take this one liner from Tower 28, this is the shade fill me in, and then I'm just going to use a little lip balm on top."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Vitamin C

Topical vitamin C is an antioxidant with reasonable evidence for dullness and uneven tone. It breaks down in light and air, so how a product is formulated and packaged matters as much as the percentage on the front.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
