Overview
Sichuan pepper in this essence gloss creates a tingle that plumps the look of lips, while hyaluronic acid and vitamin E keep them soft. A chubby applicator lays down a clear, glass-like shine in one swipe.
It gives a fuller, glossier look on bare lips or over any lipstick shade. Being transparent, it adds shine only, and the tingle may bother sensitive lips.
Who it's for
Gloss fans and anyone topping lipstick for shine suit this formula. Those with sensitive lips may find the pepper tingle uncomfortable.
Pros and cons
- Clear, works over any shade
- Hydrating hyaluronic acid
- Vegan and cruelty-free
- Tingle may irritate
- Size not in bullets
Performance notes
Sichuan pepper creates a tingling sensation that briefly makes lips look fuller. Hyaluronic acid draws in moisture under the shine layer, which fades with eating.
