What is Lip Liner?

Lip liner, also known as a lip pencil, is a cosmetic tool that helps define the shape and size of your lips. It's not always a necessary step but it does create a clean, neat line and ensure a smooth base for lipstick and lip gloss. It’s also ideal for filling in any uneven areas on the outer edges of the lips.

If you have thin lips, you can overdraw your lips by going a bit higher than your natural lip line. But don’t go overboard. Simply outline the shape of your lips slightly outside your natural lip line, then fill in your lips with a pencil or lipstick. If you have fuller lips, you can draw the liner over your natural lip line. For a bolder look, hide your lip lines using a concealer after application. Finish off your look with the lipstick of your choice and you’re good to go!

How to Choose a Lip Pencil Color

The key to coordinating your lipstick and lip liner is to consider both the finish and color. For example, if you’ll be wearing matte lipstick, you should pair it with matte lip liner. When it comes to the color, opt for a lip liner that’s 1 to 2 shades darker than your lipstick color. Just be sure to keep it in the same color family with the same undertones.

How to Apply Lip Makeup

When applying lip makeup, make sure your lips are smooth and hydrated with a lip scrub followed by your go-to lip balm. Then, start at the corner of your lips with your lip liner and follow your natural lip line with small, quick strokes. Continue to slide the liner across your cupid’s bow and also along your bottom lip. The product can then be used to fill in your lips and create a base color for your lipstick.

Types of Lip liners

The NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil gives you the best of both worlds. The lip pencil ensures that your lips are instantly saturated with rich, vivid pigments and a velvety-matte finish. Its jumbo size provides the ease of application of lipstick with the convenience of an artist pencil. The tapered end is perfect for lining, defining, and filling in lips.

A retractable lip liner with a gel-cream formula is another great option. Its formula is designed to enhance the lip contour for a long-lasting, softer appearance. Not to mention, it comes with a built-in sharpener for easy application.
