FAQ:
- What Are The Different Types of Liner?
Lip liners or lip pencils come in a variety of forms that help create a distinctive make-up look to create that desirable pout.
Lip Pencil:
- A lip pencil is the most common that you’ll find in the market. Its creamy texture adds a precise definition to your lips.
- However, a lip pencil would require frequent sharpening to ensure its tip always remains precise for your next application.
Retractive Lip Liner Pen:
- This variant comes with a plastic end that can be twisted to raise and retract the lip-coloured pen. With that, it doesn’t require any sharpening. Also, it’s much softer than a lip pencil.
- However, as it mostly comes in highly-pigmented colours, be careful to avoid putting too much pressure when you apply the colour on your lips as you may either create a heavy outline or break the liner easily.
Crayon Lip Liner:
Lastly, the crayon lip liner is similar to a retractive lip liner but it’s usually bigger. Moreover, a crayon lip liner can also serve as a lipstick on its own.
- How To Choose Lip Liner?
There is a plethora of lip liner shades in the market. But how do you choose the right one that looks flattering on your lips?
- First and foremost, the most important determinant in choosing the right lip liner is to use your skin type and tone as a guide.
- For cooler skin tones, opt for lip liners with a purple, mauve, or blue hue to enhance your natural complexion. If you have warm skin undertones, then select a lip liner with orange or red hues that will look great on your lips.
- Whether you’re going for a bold or natural lip look, the type of pencil tips plays an important role. A lip pencil with a thin tip, allows you to better outline your lips with a sharper definition and precision. But if you want a softer and thicker overline, then go for a crayon or twist-up lip liner.
- As lip liners aim to hold your lipstick and lip gloss in place, look for those that are long-wearing and hydrating as well. Its hydrating qualities will ensure your lips look healthy, and fuller and feel amazing.
- Last but not least, choose the lip liner that matches your lipstick shade. Doing so helps you create a bold and pouty look due to the art of contouring which is made possible between similar shades of lip liner and lipstick. If you’re going for a no-make-up look, then choose a lip liner shade that’s close to your natural lip colour.
- How To Apply Lip Liner?
Lip liners create a more defined look. To do so, applying it the right way counts. So, how do you go about it?
- Before the application of any lip product, it’s important to exfoliate your lips to remove any flaky skin. Doing it once a week will do, so you don’t over-exfoliate and irritate your skin which can cause it to be drier.
- Your lips are now ready to be outlined with a lip liner. Start from the cupid’s bow and slowly extend towards the outer corners of your top lip first. Then, repeat for the bottom lips. This helps prevent your lipstick from feathering, and ultimately, creating a long-wearing look.
- Another make-up hack is to apply concealer around the edges of your lips after you’re done outlining them with the lip liner. This creates well-defined lines and a bolder look to your lips.
