trying rhode’s lip shape in ‘lunge’ & ‘lean’ 🤎
Okay, beauty lovers, I finally got my hands on Rhode's Lip Shape lip liners, and I’ve been putting 'Lunge' and 'Lean' to the test! You know how much buzz Rhode Skin has created, and their new Lip Shape liners were at the top of my list to try. I'm always on the hunt for that perfect lip combo that makes my lips look fuller and more defined without feeling heavy, so I had high hopes for these. First things first, let's talk about the SHADE range, specifically 'Lunge' and 'Lean'. 'Lunge' is described as a warm medium brown, and on my lips, it leans into this beautiful, almost universally flattering neutral territory. It's perfect for defining the natural lip line and giving a subtle warmth. Then there's 'Lean', which is a gorgeous cool-toned rosy nude. It's one of those 'my lips but better' shades that brightens up the face. I found both shades incredibly versatile, whether I was going for a full glam look or just a quick everyday enhancement. The texture of these LIP SHAPE pencils is really impressive too – they glide on so smoothly without tugging or skipping, which is a huge plus for me. They’re creamy enough to be comfortable but firm enough to give precise application. Now, for the main event: do they actually give that sought-after "lip lift" effect? Absolutely! Here’s how I’ve been using them to achieve a subtly fuller look. I start by lightly overlining my cupid's bow and the very center of my bottom lip with 'Lunge'. The key is to keep the overlining minimal and blend it seamlessly into your natural lip line on the sides. Then, I fill in the outer corners of my lips slightly. For the inner part of my lips, especially when I want that extra plump look, I use 'Lean' to either fill in completely or just blend it towards the center. Sometimes, I even use 'Lunge' for a general outline and then 'Lean' all over for a softer, plumper effect. The blendability of these Rhode liners is fantastic, making it easy to create a gradient look that makes your lips appear larger and more defined. Finishing with a slick of the Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment on top really seals the deal and gives that juicy, hydrated finish. I've worn these liners for hours, and I can honestly say the longevity is impressive. They hold up well through coffee and light meals without migrating or fading patchy. They feel lightweight and comfortable, not drying at all, which can sometimes be an issue with other long-wearing lip liners. Considering the buzz, the quality, and the way they truly enhance your natural lip shape, I think the Rhode Lip Shape liners are a fantastic addition to any makeup bag. If you’re looking to try a new lip liner that delivers on its promises of definition and a subtle lip lift, you definitely need to check out 'Lunge' and 'Lean'. They've quickly become staples in my routine for creating that effortlessly chic, plumped-up pout!
