Rhode lip liner: OK, but nothing special
Rating 3/5: nothing special
After Rhode Pocket Blush won me over completely, I had high expectations for their lip liner too. Sadly, it didn't impress me.
What the brand says
- A dual-ended liner: a rounded tip for shaping on one end and a silicone applicator for blending and softening the line on the other.
- A contoured, fuller-looking lip effect without injections.
- Peptides smooth and soften the lips, and fenugreek extract helps with dryness.
- Can be used as a liner, to fill in the lips or under lipstick and gloss; 11 shades.
My experience
OK. It blends nicely, but it isn't precise, so it's not ideal for a clean lip line.
The bigger problem is the shades: they're all somehow too dark for my fair skin. In the end it's a liner that isn't bad, but isn't anything special either.
My advice: buy Catrice's new soft lip liner instead. For much less money you'll get an equally comfortable formula.
Who is it for
For Rhode fans who like a soft, blurred lip look and have a medium to deeper skin tone. If you want a precise liner or have very fair skin, skip it.
