Which Lip Pencil Liner Is Right for You

Not every lip liner works the same way. The right pick depends on the look you are going for and how you like to apply it. Here is how to choose from this collection.

• For defined, precise lines: Eye of Horus Artistry Lip Liner uses mineral pigments and plant-based ingredients for high colour payoff. Sharpenable pencil format for controlled application. 
• For a soft, blendable finish: The Ere Perez Acai Lip Pencil is formulated with acai berry and plant-derived ingredients for a creamy, blendable texture. Suits everyday wear and works well for overlining or a softer, smudged edge.
• For a minimal, modern look: The Ssaint Lip Liner comes in a single, versatile nude shade. Clean formula, straightforward application, suits anyone building a minimal lip routine.

Best Lipliner for Every Lip Look

Getting lip liner right comes down to preparation and technique. Here is what works based on the products in this collection.

• Prep your lips first: Apply a natural lip balm and blot the excess before lining. This gives the pencil a smooth surface to work on and stops colour from settling into dry patches.
• Start at the centre: Begin at the centre of your upper lip bow and draw out to each corner using short, light strokes. Follow the natural lip contour rather than drawing a hard, continuous line.
• Keep the tip sharp: A sharp tip gives you control. If the pencil drags or skips, warm the tip between your fingers for a few seconds before applying.
• Fill in for longer wear: Once the outline is done, fill in the entire lip with the liner before applying lipstick over the top. This gives colour something to grip and extends how long it lasts.
• Clean up the edges: Use a small brush with moisturising cream or concealer to sharpen any edges after application.

Common Lip Liner Problems and How to Solve Them

Most lip liner frustrations come down to formula or technique. Here is what Australian shoppers run into most often and how the products in this collection address them. 

• Colour feathering or bleeding: Line the full perimeter before applying colour to create a barrier. Every formula here is non-toxic and grips the lip without irritating the skin around it.
• Liner looking too harsh or drawn on: Use light strokes and build gradually. The Ere Perez Acai Lip Pencil blends easily with a fingertip or brush for a softer edge.
• Liner not lasting through the day: Fill in the entire lip before applying lipstick to create a base layer. Use an oil cleanser first to remove any residue that stops products from adhering.
• Shade does not match your lipstick: Choose a liner one shade darker at most in the same colour family. A nude liner close to your natural lip colour works as a base for almost anything.
