I did cheat a little, though, and used a damp tissue to blur the edges. But I would do the same with a regular lip liner as I don’t like too perfect a line. A little lip balm swiped over the top delivered a really pretty, next-to-natural finish.
On me the colour lasted a full day without needing to be reapplied (my cleanser lifted it off that night) but would I do it every day? There’s something really addictive – and fun – about the whole theatre of applying and peeling it off. And let’s face it, makeup is meant to be fun!
But the 10-15 minute setting time does mean you have to schedule it into your morning beauty routine, which feels like a little too much effort for me, personally. This is a product I’m definitely saving for a night out as you don’t have to worry about feathering or transfer when you have a glass of wine.
Other takeaways include being prepared for the formula to feel a bit strange while it sets – cool and a little like you’ve covered your lips in cling film, but nothing unpleasant. I’d also recommend being as precise with your application as possible – although if you’re quick, you should be able to wipe away any mistakes with a cotton bud.

This is one of those fun and innovative products that makes you wonder how you ever did makeup without it. Sacheu found me at a time when low effort and minimal makeup is very much my vibe. I’m all about enhancing my own features instead of creating a whole new face shape and complexion with makeup every morning.
The application is pretty easy – it can be a bit messy to clean up if your line gets wobbly but it is generally a quick and smooth process. It takes about 10 minutes to dry and then peeling it off is SO FUN. At first, the shade I chose – Noohd – looked dark and a little chaotic, but after a quick wipe and a slick of gloss, it was so pretty.
