LIP LINER FAQS
We answer your questions to some of the top questions about lip liner and pencils ?
Lip liner is used to outline and define your lip shape and/or to fill in your lips with color. It can help create a fuller, more defined look and can help your lipstick and lip gloss stay in place longer. There are many different types of lip liners available, including liquid, gel, and pencil formulas and even vegan lip liners. Choose the one that best suits your skin type and your look.
The correct lip liner really depends on the shade of your lipstick and the lip look that you are going for. Generally, you should choose a lip liner that matches your lipstick or a shade darker, but be sure it is the same color family as your lipstick. Using a darker shade lip liner will help give your lips a sharper definition and more of a dramatic look.
If you are not sure of what shade to choose, a nude or clear lip liner can work with any shade of lipstick but still helps prevent smudging and feathering of your lipstick.
Lip liner is usually applied before lipstick. It helps define the shape of your lips and helps prevent your lipstick from bleeding or feathering. It helps your lipstick last longer.
