BOBBI BROWN Lip Liner Pencil

Most Helpful Positive Review

My favorite neutrals

I could go anywhere with my Bobbi Brown lip pencils in cocoa, brownie pink and bobbi (the old one). . Unfortunately, bobbi was discontinued quite awhile ago. It was a warm, reddish brown neutral, not too bright. It had no relationship to the lipstick named Bobbi, which is a purplish tone . The brown...ie pink was also discontinued recently, but happily, the nude pencil is a great replacement, and could even replace cocoa in a pinch. But cocoa is a perfect warm light brown, that works with all my brown toned neutrals, so I'm very glad it is stilll available. Nude is a pink toned brown, that is perfect for that " my lips but better" look. Pinky mauve is a new color I discovered, not as neutral as Bobbi was, but a bright ( for me) warm pink that will be great as a pop of color for summer. I have very fair skin and red hair, so I really have to stick with neutrals, and these are the best I've found. You do have to sharpen the pencil, but each one comes with a sharpener, and they do not break with sharpening as many brands, even very expensive ones, do. So I do get fairly long use out of each pencil. They go on softly, and can be used to line the lip or fill it all in. I do like Bobbi's recommended way of putting lipstick on first and lip pencil around it. I find the lip looks fuller this way, and you truly see what the lip pencil looks like with the lipstick. Sometimes I do a second coat with a darker pencil if I want a more defined look. This method puts you in control of the look you want. Please don't ever discontinue cocoa, and if you have a recommendation for the discontiued pencil Bobbi, please let me know.
