Yes. Every shade offered in this vegan liner, including Black Cherry, Cinnamon, Cocoa, Daylily, Earthtone, Garnet, Mulberry, Peach, Peach Fuzz, Redbud, Ruby, Terracotta, and Tigerlily, is made without carmine, so the entire shade range meets the same vegan standard.

Line your natural lip border first to prevent feathering, then fill the entire lip with the pencil to create a grippy base layer. This locks lip color in place and helps prevent it from migrating into fine lines around the mouth.

It ships in a slim vinyl barrel with a clear cap only, since wooden barrels are no longer offered. You can order it with a vinyl barrel from Indigo or supply your own barrel, with a minimum order of 100 units per shade.

Yes. Vegan and cruelty free are related but separate standards. Vegan means no animal derived ingredients, while cruelty free means no animal testing at any stage. This liner meets both, so it aligns with a fully ethical, animal friendly beauty routine.
