Wet n Wild Perfect Pout Gel Lip Liner [E654C - Never Petal Down] Review

By Maychiri's Thoughts - March 02, 2022

Hiya,
 
the first of two reviews I have for y'all today is the Wet n Wild Perfect Pout Gel Lip Liner, in the shade E654C/Never Petal Down.

I first bought this lip liner on a whim; I saw it in the clearance section at BIPA and it was 50% off. It looked like a pretty nice pink automatic lip liner, but is it really that good? Let’s see!
 

Starting with the packaging: the liner itself looks sleek and simple, it’s just black glossy plastic with white lettering. The cap matches the colour of the liner perfectly, so no need to open it just to see what the colour looks like. Aside from all that, this liner came in glossy paper packaging that looks like plastic, bit don’t worry, it’s just paper! All the important information regarding this liner was located on the sides of the outer packaging; the liner itself has only the critically important info on it (weight, name of shade, expiration date, country of origin).
 

 
Ingredients: there’s only vitamin E for nourishment; there are no parabens. The scent is almost non-existent, if it smells like anything I wasn’t able to detect it. The expiration date is 12 months after opening.

 

This is an automatic lip liner, so it’s incredibly precise, as expected. And if it becomes dull just sharpen it with an automatic liner sharpener! The pigmentation is excellent, it surprised me just how pigmented this liner was! And applying it was a breeze: it just slid across my lips without any tugging or pulling, depositing pigment evenly. Seriously, it was buttery smooth!
 
 
 
 
The colour looks like a slightly darker rose with bluish undertones. I really like how it looks on my skintone and lips!

 

 
Texture: matte to very slightly silky. It looks soft on my lips and indeed, it also feels soft. Now, it’s not the softest feeling lip liner out there, but it feels very comfortable. Even after hours of wearing it my lips still felt fine, not dried at all, and there was no cracking of the lip liner. So I would say that it is very comfortable to wear day in day out.

 

 

 
Longevity: it is extremely long-lasting! Like, after a whole day it still looked exactly like when i first applied it, no fading or cracking at all! It even made it through me eating lunch and snacks after lunch without smudging or fading from the centre of the lips. That also makes it pretty suitable for wearing under masks. And removing it is super easy using micellar water.

 

 

Sharpening is really easy as long as you don’t apply too much pressure while turning the sharpener, but it’s like that with all automatic liners.

 

 
Conclusion: this is one excellent little liner! I love it to bits and I keep using it when I need a rose shade to use under lipsticks, even though I have other lip liners similar in shade. It’s really brilliant: the pigmentation, the colour, how comfortable it feels; it’s got it all! Well, almost all: the only downside is that it’s just not big enough in my opinion, 0.25g is not enough. I wish it were 0.5g instead! But that’s really nit-picking, especially at this price point (barely 2€)! Absolute recommendation!
