Lipliners

With so many lip products on the shelves and in online stores today, sometimes it can be confusing as to which is the best for you. Either way, there is no replacement for some of the basics like a good lip balm, lipstick, lip liner and lip gloss.

A lip liner isn’t a new makeup product. However, its popularity has not diminished over the last couple of years. Women love to team a good lip liner with the gloss or lipstick they choose to wear. One of its advantages for new wearers is it helps to define the lips well. You also get a “guide” while applying the lipstick or gloss, making the outcome more appealing. Not everybody has a steady hand when it comes to application, so products like lip liners are a great tool. The significant bit here is to buy liners of the same shade as the lipstick you are wearing. Since it’s common for us to own many different shades of lip colour, you can choose to blend it too. This way, the liner does not stand out on its own and looks in sync with the shade you are wearing. If you have not used a liner until now, you are missing out! 

Different types of lip liners that you can find today 

A good lip liner is an essential part of any makeup kit. Even if you use a makeup travel kit, always have an everyday shade or two in it. It’s easy to see the difference between using a lip liner and not using it. However, for liquid lipsticks, using a liner is not required. However, if your applications skills are not perfect, you can use them to get the lip shape right. Along with making your lips stand out, you can use your liner in many different ways. Make sure to check the components and ingredients of the liner. The non-oil-based ones can also be used as a highlighter or eyeshade. This makes it easy to use for more than one reason, and sometimes it’s much economical than the original products. It’s also easily accessible. 

Lip liner pencil 

The most common choice is the lip liner pencil which is also very readily available everywhere. This one looks just like a regular pencil and comes in exciting shades. Using it is very easy since we are used to writing with pencils. They are inexpensive, and many brands have a pencil style readily available today. The best part is they don’t have the tendency to dry out, break or leak, which is very common with other makeup products. They are also safe to carry in your purse and take up very little space in a makeup pouch. Invest in different shades, so you can blend and create colours if you don’t have them. However, the best way to avoid such a situation is to buy lipstick and the liner together, so you always have a pair to enhance your beauty. 

Multipurpose lip liner 

For those who cannot bother to stock up on different makeup products, well, this one is the perfect choice for them. The multipurpose one is similar to the regular pencil liner. However, you can do a lot with it. You can use it as eyeshadow, blush, highlighter, and to fill in your lips too. They come in different shades, and it’s a good idea to mix and match the different ones. Make sure you buy of a good brand so it does not fade out on whichever part of the skin you’re using it for. Some lip liners have natural oils for nourishments; however, it’s not the best when you plan to use it on your face as well. Check for special multipurpose liners instead of opting for regular ones that won’t serve the purpose right. 

Waterproof lip liner 

Options like the Flormar lip liner are an excellent choice if you want a waterproof lip liner. These won’t fade or smudge when in contact with water. Here it is essential to go for a waterproof lip colour too, to match the purpose. They are an excellent option for everyday use and for dinner and parties that have food involved. However, making sure you eat correctly is essential to prevent your lip colour from fading. A lot of liners are naturally designed to be waterproof and are terrific for daily use. Choosing the right shades to match the lipstick is very important in this case. However, make sure you don’t use a base like Vaseline or any balm, which will not work well with the waterproof factor of the liner. 

Lip liner with shader 

The newest trend to hit the markets is a lip liner with a shader. This has the pencil on one end and a small, soft, rubber-like tip on the other. So, once you line your lips, you can use the other purpose to bend it inwards and then apply the lipstick. You can also use it after you put the lipstick on, for a better and more natural look. It’s an excellent tool for those who don’t find it very comfortable to use the liner well in sync with the colour. A shader is also a fantastic tool for eye shadow and eye pencils, so you can make it a multipurpose option. However, it’s essential to maintain high levels of hygiene in this case and use an excellent solution to soak and then wash the shader part.
