Personally I never saw the need for lip liner, I was never keen on the drawn on lip look! But then I realised the benefits of lip liners and I'm hooked! Personally I like to use them to fill in my entire lips and then either apply a lipstick or gloss over the top. If I use lipstick I find it has much better staying power and if I use lipgloss once the shine has faded I'm left with a pretty matte stain. Im a true lip liner convert and I've been picking up a few over the last couple of weeks to share my thoughts with you on. My top 4 favourites are as follows:
1. MAC - dervish - a lovely, soft, natural looking pink which can either warm up a nude lipstick or tone down a bright gloss.
2. Revlon - Plum - A gorgeous, season appropriate dark purple. The perfect partner to a plum lip such as MAC Plumful or Syrup or I have been pairing it with Clinique black honey lipgloss. Its non-drying and seriously pigmented.
3. Kiko - No.19 - Coral in winter? Trust me, its the best way to brighten dull, tired looking skin. This lip pencil packs a big punch while being creamy and hydrating on the lips.
4. Urban Decay - Turn On - Recommended by Essie Button. Need I say more? A great dark pink perfect for this time of year. I like to wear this shade alone but its great topped with a neutral pink gloss such as a Clarins instant light natural lip perfector.
These are my top picks of the moment but I can sense a lip liner obsession coming on so check back soon as I'm sure I'll be adding to my collection. Let me know which lip liner you're loving at the moment!
