What are Lip Liners?
A Lip Liner is also known as a lip pencil. Lip Liner is a cosmetic product intended to fill in uneven areas on your lips’ outer edges. You can apply a Lip Liner before applying lipstick to get an even shape. Lip Liner is used to outline the lips by keeping lipstick inside the lip area and thus preventing it from bleeding. You can use Lip Liner for the following purposes:
- Suggest the illusion of larger lip size
- Create a sharper demarcation between lips and skin
- Make your lips stand out more
Lip Liner as a Lip Stick Alternative
You can use a Lip Liner to fill in the entire lip before applying the lipstick, whereas in some cases, you can wear it as a lip color. You will typically find Lip Liners sold in a retractable tube or a pencil form in the market. Lip Liner pencils can be sharpened.
Shades of Lip Liners
A typical Lip Liner comes in a range of colors the same as lipsticks, such as the following:
- Reds
- Pinks
- Browns
- Plums
You must match the liner to lipstick so that its effects appear natural.
Colorless Lip Liners
A Lip liner can also be colorless. A colorless lip liner gives the illusion of smooth lips without affecting lip color. They come in different textures. Each hard pencil can create sharp lines.
