THE IRISH BEAUTY community was a-buzz with the news that revered MUA Aimee Connolly was releasing another product as part of her line Sculpted By Aimee Connolly.

The Sculpted By Aimee lip quads contain four lipliners and come in two shades – The Pink Edition and The Nude Edition. Priced at €30, it’s been promoted as being “the first of its kind”.

But is it? Some MUAs and makeup fans alike have disputed this.

The pen features one lip liner and three eyeliners.
