Early verdict · Few reviews so far

What the gurus are saying

The creamy texture glides on smoothly and applies without tugging, which reviewers found made their lip colour look finished and polished. The pigment is stronger than expected, so the shade shows up clearly even with a light hand. Both testers were pleased with how it paired with their lip products overall.

    "This is Bad As Beige. I'm thinking, like, a neutral kind of beige for this hack. So, only overdrawing the cupid's bow first. I'm going to stop at the point of my cupid's bow. I think I need to go darker. Let's go back in with Spill The Tea. Yeah, that's better. On the inside of the lip now. And then only overdrawing the middle of the bottom lip. And then going back inside the lip. And connecting that to the corner. Let's go back in with Honey Talks."

    What the evidence says.

    Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

    Vitamin C

    Topical vitamin C is an antioxidant with reasonable evidence for dullness and uneven tone. It breaks down in light and air, so how a product is formulated and packaged matters as much as the percentage on the front.

    Sunscreen filters

    Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

    Vitamin E

    Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
