I go back and forth between lipliners.. sometimes I Love them, sometimes meh.
however, when I do reach for a lipliner, it is generally under a lipgloss or to make a very nude lipstick more wearable. (my skin tone enjoys dancing around.) I also like to wear some of the creamier ones as stand alone lip colours.
so here they are, my top picks (from lightest to darkest..):
1. Bobbi Brown: lip liner in Sandwash Tulle:
- This is a pencil, and it is on the dryer side. it is a ‘your lips but better’ colour. A good enough lip colour for the day time, or under a runny lipstick to make it stick in it’s place and stay longer.
- From a scale of 1 - 10 (1 being wipes off when drinking water and 10 being must scrub off) it would be a 7 in the range.
- Doesn’t get on your teeth.
2. M.A.C: Cremestick Liner in Pink Treat:
- Being much creamier than a pencil, this lip liner is a great stand alone lip product. I Also love using it under the Bobbi Brown Lip Gloss in No. 31: Pink Blossom or NARS lipgloss in Piree, the colour is FANTASTIC and it is one of my favorite lip products ever. This is my second one of it.
- it is probably a 9 in the ‘long wear scale’ doesn’t rub off easily, and doesn’t leave you with that awkward lined lip look as it fades.
- may get on your teeth if you don’t wipe it off the insides of your lips well, so make sure you do that!
3. INGLOT: Lipliner in 860:
- This one isn’t for everyday (not that I don’t use it every day!) it’s a nice hot pink that’s very smooth and easy to apply. I love how it’s not very bright, but it’s just bright enough to give you that summer’s glow. I am very adventurous with my lip colors, and am most likely to be seen sporting a bright / deep colour than a nude, and this is just perfect for that. I use it as a stand alone lip colour, and I don’t think that matching it up with any colours would ever do it justice!!
- If you don’t eat, it’s quite long lasting (around a 7?) however, if you start eating it will start to fade, doesn’t really rub off, but the colour would probably need retouching if you want it to be as bright as it is.
- Doesn’t really get on my teeth, however, I would recommend wiping it off your inner lips just to be sure, since it is a bright colour!
4. Burberry: Lip Definer in No.04 - Bright Plum:
- To be honest this is my newest purchase and I haven’t really used it as long as the rest, BUT I really love the colour. it’s a nice bright plum (duh!) that can also be passed off as a red (to deepen your red lip!) it’s a pencil so it’s drying (I have found that all Burberry pencils - including eye pencils are very drying) so remember to add lip balm underneath (I usually add lip balm under all lipliners, they help them go on smoother, but they do sheer out their colour)
5. (BONUS!) Burberry: Effortless Kohl N0. 02 Oxblood:
- Now, this isn’t technically a lipliner, it’s an all-in-one product (says the guy at the counter) but I have only tried it on my lips. My experience with Burberry is that the products don’t really last long ‘on you’ however this was a bit better than other stuff I have from them. It’s a beautiful blood red colour that would look gorgeous under any clear or lip plumping lipgloss.
- I would say it is about 6 the long wear scale.
- I haven’t found that it really got on my teeth, however, if you apply something over the top, check you wipe your inner lips well!
and that is it! happy lip lining :)
