BANILA Co B. By BANILA Velvet Blurred Veil Lip

Another K-beauty must-have lippie! This semi-matte velvet liquid lip by Banila Co has a silky finish that will make your lips look like they’re airbrushed. Once you have this one on, it will give you a “blurred” look while hiding the lines on your lips, making them look plumper and softer. If you want a gradient look, we recommend using BE01 Bridal Shower as your base lip color and on the inner lips, use RD01 Brick Red Bouquet, and blend outwards.
