Lip Cheat Lip Liner
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Lip Liner has a creamy, slightly waxy formula that sets down and lasts through eating and drinking, with several creators calling it transfer-proof and budge-proof. The shade Pillow Talk Medium is a warm berry pink that suits a range of skin tones, while Love Trap pulls more rose than peach on medium skin. Professional makeup artist Lisa J notes it's a top-rated viral lip pencil, and the formula's tackiness upon application helps it grip the lips for all-day wear.
