Review: Rosie For Autograph Lip Definers

When Rosie Huntington-Whiteley released her make up line last year I was beyond excited. Her lip products were absolutely gorgeous and I couldn't stop myself from buying a few but there was something missing. And that product was a lip liner. I spent ages hoping that with every new capsule collection she released that there would be lip liners involved and this year it happened. Back in the beginning of the year she released six shades of lip definer that can be worn under a multitude of lip products.

The first shade I picked up was Silk. It's a stunning mauvey brown shade that looks perfect under shades such as Lady Rose, Silk Rose and Silk Cami from her range as well as many other lip products from different brands.

 The second shade I picked up was Super Model. It's a bright red shade that looks stunning under shades such as Vintage Rouge and Laugh Out Loud from her range. This is also a particularly nice shade of red to wear under bright tomato red shades as it adds a bit more depth to the colour.











I'd love to say these lip liners are consistent and are both creamy, opaque in one swipe with no dragging or scratching at the lips. I can happily say that about one but not the other. Silk is one of the best lip liners I've ever tried. It's highly pigmented, opaque in one swipe, easy to apply and can easily be worn on it's own. It's clearly the most worn of the two because it's such a high quality product whereas Super Model is slightly lacking. Sure it's a gorgeous colour but it's not as easily opaque as Silk and requires a bit more pressing and guidance than Silk. And unfortunately that can lead to it dragging or scratching the lips which is just darn uncomfortable. Get it right and this can look beautiful on the lips but it takes a bit more work and in all honesty there are more inexpensive red lip liners out there that are more creamy, pigmented and easy to work with.

Overall I would recommend these lip liners. Sure Super Model isn't the best but Silk is stunning and other shades such as Lace, Camisole and RHW are just as beautiful and easy to swatch/apply. Super Model is the only exception in this range and is the only one I wouldn't recommend buying. Any of the other shades I'd highly recommend picking up especially if you have a few of the lipsticks from her range. At £12.50 a pop, these aren't the most inexpensive on the market but they're not ridiculously priced like other more luxury brands. These do however a more luxurious feel to them and are a lot more appealing packaging wise than some from the likes of Urban Decay and Stila.
