The Lip Edit: Lierge x Vice Cosmetics
Beauty doesn’t always need to be loud. It can be soft, intentional, and quietly powerful. That’s what Vice Cosmetics taps into with their newest drop, the Perfect Kizz VELVET lip collection. Inspired by the idea of soft power and the blurred, velvety lips seen in Korean beauty, this line leans into that lived-in, effortless look. It’s all about smooth, diffused color that feels easy but put-together.
The shades range from barely-there nudes and everyday neutrals to warm reds you can wear any day of the week. Let’s take a look!
The Perfect Kizz Velvet Soft Diffused Lip Bullet (P345/3g) comes in 12 shades you can wear on their own, so no liner needed. The velvet-matte formula glides on smoothly without drying out your lips, giving you a soft, blurred finish with just a tap. For a more natural, diffused look, it’s better to tap the pigment on rather than swipe. There are custom studded stars on the bullet that add a subtle touch of luxe every time you use it.
With 12 shades to choose from, picking a favorite might be a challenge. If you lean warm, try So Cozy, So Loved, So Obsessed, So Effortless, or So Powerful. Neutral undertones will find So Comfy, So Chic, and So Iconic especially flattering. Cool-toned beauties might love So Serene, So Timeless, So Plush, or So Dreamy.
The Perfect Kizz Velvet Blur Diffused Lip Shaper (P345/0.6g) is a chunky lip liner designed for soft, blended edges—not sharp contours. It’s budge-proof once it sets, so blending is key. Thankfully, it comes with a built-in ultra-soft brush that makes diffusing a breeze. Bonus: the brush is removable for easy cleaning. Practical, hygienic, and still delivers on pigment and staying power.
If you’ve got warm undertones, try Forbidden Kiss or Fresh Kiss. Soft Kiss leans warm-neutral. For neutral undertones, Sweet Kiss is a match made in lipstick heaven. Cool undertones can reach for Gentle Kiss or Sugar Kiss, while Dreamy Kiss and Midnight Kiss fall into the cool-neutral zone.
Vice’s Muse: Lierge Perey
Lierge Perey is one of the hottest creators online right now, with a massive social media following that enjoys her beauty and fashion reviews. So when Vice Cosmetics created a collection inspired by soft power, she was the first name that came to mind. Her effortless authenticity and quiet conviction made her the perfect muse.
“We chose Lierge because her quiet conviction and effortless authenticity are the essence of Soft Power,” Vice Cosmetics shared. “She doesn’t need to be loud to be heard. Her presence, values, and creative vision speak volumes.”
For Lierge, the collaboration felt just as natural. She loves how the Velvet Blur Lip Shaper stays put all day. “Once it sets, it will stay there,” she said. Paired with the Velvet Soft Lip Bullet, the result is what she calls a “full yet diffused flourish”, equal parts polished and effortless, just like her own style.
Lierge’s favorite shade from the collection is Fresh Kiss, similar to her old standby liner Chef’s Kiss.
Lierge’s perfect Soft Power lip combo is the Fresh Kiss lip shaper with the So Cozy lip bullet. This is a warm nude brown lip look without being super nude.
No need to second-guess your lip combo as Vice Cosmetics has already paired them up for you with their new lip kits. Each set comes with one Velvet Blur Lip Shaper and one Velvet Soft Lip Bullet, perfectly matched for your go-to everyday look.
Diffused Dream gives you a cool rosewood lip with Sugar Kiss and So Plush, while Soft Power pairs Soft Kiss and So Obsessed for the ideal neutral nude. Quiet Confidence combines Fresh Kiss and So Effortless for that warm brown tone everyone loves. If a bold lip is more your vibe, Inner Strength delivers with Gentle Kiss and So Loved—a warm brick red that stands out in the best way.
Honestly, I’m just glad lip kits are back!
