Club Hopper can pull noticeably red, berry, or purple depending on your natural lip color. On deeper skin, Espresso may give softer definition rather than a strong contour.

This is a color/contrast visualization, not a prediction of exactly how the liner will appear on your lips. Natural lip pigmentation, application, lighting, and display settings can affect the result.
