Lip Liner

Lip Liner

Lip liner pencils and gel liners to define, shape and help lipstick or gloss stay put. Brands include Nicka K, L.A. Colors, Kiss New York and Absolute New York, with plenty of browns, nudes and berries that suit deeper skin tones.

How to choose

  • Pencil: the classic. Sharpen for a precise line.
  • Gel liner: glides on smoothly with stronger colour, often waterproof.
  • Lip duo: liner and matching lip colour together.
  • Shade: match your lipstick, or go one or two shades deeper than your natural lip for definition.

Common questions

How do I do a brown liner and gloss lip? Line with a brown pencil, blend the line inwards with your fingertip or a brush, and add clear or nude gloss to the centre.

How do I stop lipstick feathering? Line the lips and fill them in with liner before applying colour.

Should I overline? A little, just at the centre of the top and bottom lip, looks more natural than tracing all the way round.

Lip Liner FAQs

Which lip liner shade should I choose?
Match your lipstick, or go one shade deeper for more definition.
What does lip liner do?
It defines the shape of your lips and helps stop lipstick and gloss bleeding.
Can I wear lip liner all over my lips?
Yes. Filling in your lips with liner gives lipstick a base to hold on to, so it lasts longer.
