Daily color

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m on my third pencil, I just love this color. It’s vibrant without being too bright. I like that it’s low waste too.

Color - Good. Performance - Good. Look/feel - Good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m neutral leaning warm, olive skin tone. I had a color analyst categorize me as a “deep autumn” who can sometimes borrow the medium to darker shades from the “soft autumn” palette. Couldn’t agree more as those colors flatter me the most. I feel that the lip liner color in genre feels like a slightly warm-ish color without feeling super orange on me. It’s the perfect pinky brown color for me! It doesn’t overwhelm my face since it’s not too bright and bold. It’s slightly muted but still rich. Slightly earthy but not too brown. It feels like my lip color but better. My small lips feel defined and complimented! I don’t need to fill my entire lips with this lip liner, I blend it out to create an ombre effect on my lips which helps create the illusion of more volume. I like that the lip liner is moisturizing enough to glide around and blend in. So happy I got the sharpener with it too. That will be handy. A plus is that the main part of the lip liner isn’t plastic. Please work on the cap (I assume you already are, ilia team! I know it’s hard to find something eco friendly, reliable, and maintains the moisture/integrity of the product all at the same time while not increasing the cost more. I get it).If you ever create more lip liner shades for those who are neutral leaning warm (or categorized as a deep autumn) like me - I’ll be the first to line up and buy all the shades! I’m curious about earthen but afraid it might be a tinge too orange for my lips. I still like to have that pinkness in the lip color shade rather than much of orange. Anyway, I’m happy with this product. I know it’s not a lip stain so I am aware some fading will occur as I eat, drink, and lick my lips over time in the day. And the way the lip liner crayon looks/feels is really fun. Reminds me of an artist’s or architect’s sketching tools. Thank you!
