Do you use a LipLiner??

Posted by sarah | Filed under Daily Bread, Tips & Tricks

I bought three new MAC Lip pencils few days back. Im a sucker for lip pencils. I feel lipstick application is incomplete without a Lipliner!
Most people dont use a lipliner.

Well for those who dont use a lip pencil, Id suggest start using one! You’ll see a difference! :)

HOW DO I USE A LIP LINER?
I line the perimeter of my lips, and then FILL in my lips wit the lip pencil as well. This is because the lip pencil acts as a BASE for the lipstick you will apply later.
If you’re anything like me, your lipstick would be half eaten by noon! So with a lip pencil, even when your lipstick fades away, you still have that bit of colour on your lips left by the lip pencil.
*You can easily watch any of my videos and you’ll see me lining my lips and then filling in my lips with the lip liners.

WHAT COLOURS SHOULD I USE?
Your safest bet would be:
- Natural tones,
- tones similar to YOUR Lip colour
- tones similar to the lipstick you are about to apply over your Lipliner

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR HIGHLY RECOMMENDED LIP LINERS?
- STAGE Cosmetics Lipliner (Chocolate charm is my FAV! Natural brownish shade. Their lipliners are moisturizing!)
- MAC Cosmetics Lip Pencils (They are SOOOOO soft, a lil too brittle for some, but very easily glides onto the lips)
- Sephora Nano Lipliner (These Mini little lipliners are so CUTE They are very creamy and dont feel drying on the lips)

It may seem a little troublesome to some to have to line your lips when you can just slap on some gloss instead but like I said, if you talk alot, lick your lips alot etc.. you would notice your lipstick fading away fast. So trust me, a lipliner will be your new best friend.

    this is so, so true. i am yet to invest in a lip liner, though i regularly apply lipsticks.

    i have a question to ask you. should i get a lip liner for every lip stick that i have or will one nude lip liner suffice? i don’t mind reapplying my lipstick every once in a while but don’t like the way the colour fades from the centre and remains dark on the sides.

    another question. does applying lipstick with a lip brush help it stay on longer? i read in a magazine that it’s best to apply darker colours with a lip brush. should i bother with a lip brush for lighter shades as well?

    RIMA:
    Its always good to invest in a few diff shades.and when i say choose a neutral lipcolour, it has to be smthg that is of natural tone on YOUR lip.

    applying with brush doesnt help it stay on LONGER..it just gives u a more cleaner, precise application :)

    ok thank you so much. i’ll get a few liners that go well with most of my lipsticks. plus a shade that goes well with my own natural lip colour, which is kinda weird. :D
    oh and i’ve sent you a mail. it’s a bit long, but please do reply.

    Hey dearie!

    as for lip liners, is it advice for us to just to line the lips or use it as base?

    My lipstick does not stay on for quite long. Usually within an hr, its gone. My upper lips are slightly darker than the lower one. So unsightly! haiz….

    One of my frens suggested that i use my lip liner as a ‘base’ and cover it up with my choice of lipstick. But i find de lip liner too dry.

    Any suggestions dear?

    ps: sorry for the long long comment… thks.
