Beauty specialist grudgingly enamored with latest lip cosmetic acquisitions

Sarah-Jane Corfield-Smith, the Beauty Director of GTG, has always been hesitant about lipsticks. The prep work for chapped lips, the drying nature of many glosses, and the maintenance required for touch-ups have often been a turn-off. However, she recently found a handful of innovative lip products that have changed her mind about wearing lip color.

One such product is the Merit Sheer Lip Liner. This balmy lip product comes in eight neutral shades and has a sharpener built into the end, making it a convenient addition to any makeup bag. The Merit Sheer Lip Liner adds a hint of definition to lips without requiring precise application, making it an excellent choice for those who prefer a low-maintenance look.

Another innovative lip product is the Vieve Poutder, created by makeup artist Jamie Genevieve. This lip product comes in a chunky crayon form and has a mousse-like powder applicator. It creates a blurred and buffed-out effect on the lips, providing a natural-looking finish. The Vieve Poutder is not sticky like traditional glosses, and it boasts serious staying power. Currently, it comes in four neutral shades of pink and brown.

The Sculpted by Aimee HydraLip is another lipstick that has caught Sarah-Jane's attention. This super hydrating lipstick comes in six neutral shades, including a deep brown and a peachy-pink tone. It has a chunky and angled bullet for easy application, and it contains SPF 25 for protection against chapping and dryness.

Lastly, the Sweed Le Lipstick is a see-through lipstick that is easy to use for those who prefer a low-maintenance look. The exact details about this product, such as its shades and texture, were not specified.

Despite her initial reservations, Sarah-Jane is now excited about the prospect of wearing lip color. She always has multiple lip balms on her and is never far from a facial mist. With these innovative lip products, she can now enjoy the benefits of wearing lip color without the hassle she once associated with it.
