Hi girls,
We all love red lip liners! We can never have enough of them. The number doubles for a lipstick addict like me. The Sephora Collection Rouge Gel Lip Liner seemed like an innovative product with the “gel” tag, hence, I bought it. Read on to know more.
Price: $12
Product Description:
A retractable lip liner with a long-lasting, gel-cream texture to enhance the lip contour.
What it Does:
This first-to-market creamy gel lip liner is softer than a traditional liner. It is formulated with a gel-cream finish for an enhanced, smooth look without dullness. The unique, soft texture of the non-drying formula glides over every curve with ease to create a fuller look and a color-matched base for lipsticks. The liner also comes with a built-in sharpener for easy application anywhere.
What it is Formulated WITHOUT:
– Parabens
What Else You Need to Know:
All shades were specifically chosen to pair with existing top-selling Rouge Shine and Cream lipsticks.
My Experience with Sephora Collection Rouge Gel Lip Liner – 12 The Red:
The first good thing about this lip liner is, despite being soft and gel based lip liner, this did not crumble or break. Secondly, this also retracts back into the pencil body. Thirdly, it is a lovely glossy red colour. This comes in a very thick, twist up lip liner pencil. This color is a nice warm red but, I am not happy with the intensity of the color. This feels gel-like and hence, feels slightly sheer, unlike another matte red lip liner. If you fill your lips with it, it settles into a glossy finish.
The saddest part about this lip liner is, it isn’t a transfer-proof lip liner. So, I consider this as a slim lipstick. I don’t think this fulfils my needs of a red lip liner as well as a matte lip liner. The pencil is smooth and buttery and if you have dry lips, you will love it. Also, if you are a lip balm fan, this works great!

Will I Recommend/Repurchase Sephora Collection Rouge Gel Lip Liner – 12 The Red?
Not really, I would either go for a proper matte lip liner.
