The liner delivers up to 16 hours of transfer-proof, smudge-free wear, while the gloss provides eight hours of hydration and a high-shine finish.

TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️

“If you ever see someone walking around with a shirt wrapped around their waist, or someone without pants on, even if you see them from a distance, please consider stopping and asking what size pants they need. Please help if you can. We recently came across someone we know who was literally trying to rip his shirt…”
