Unlike conventional lip liners with pointed tips, Refy's Blur Liner boasts a domed tip that effortlessly creates the illusion of fuller lips with a soft-blurred edge. This lightweight, soft matte liner boasts a cruelty-free and vegan formula and blurs as it fills in the lip line, meaning no smudging is needed after applying.
The sought-after just-been-kissed look has inspired brands to create soft-blur lip products, drawing influence from the effortlessly chic style of French women and the radiant, youthful aesthetics of K-pop idols.
Refy co-founders Jess Hunt and Jenna Meek told Byrdie, “Blur Liner is the only Lip liner on the market that creates a fuller lip with no need to blur, soften, or blend."
