BEFORE LIPSTICK:
To naturally define lips, start by outlining the Cupid's bow. Then, switch to the outer corners of upper lips and draw inward until you connect the lines at the centre.
To enhance your lips and create a fuller-looking effect, trace along your upper lip line while gradually overlining beyond the natural border of your lips.
To create a contoured lip look, choose a shade deeper than your Lipstick to outline lips. Then, fill in the centre of lips with the lighter Lipstick, slightly overlapping with your liner. Blend with a 316S Brush to create a natural-looking gradient.
AFTER LIPSTICK:
To add extra definition, line lips after applying your Lipstick.
WITH LIPGLASS
Outline or fill in lips completely, then layer on Lipglass for a high-shine look.
LINER ONLY:
Shade and fill in lips.

What lip liner would pair well with Mac lip gloss Beaux?
- Asked by Jesse

And lo and behold an old friend reappeared - Stone lip pencil. I thought I must be seeing things. But no, it's there. And it's not marked as a l...

PRODUCT HAS CHANGED
I've been buying the MAC lip pencil in Stripdown for over ten years. It's the only product I use to line and fill in my lips. The color closely matches my natural lip color and every pencil I've purchased through the years has never varied in color or consistency, its always been exactly the same. I...

Excellent lip liner, great color, I have fair skin and it blends in perfectly, not too warm or too cold, the staying power is average. The formula is pleasant on the lips. Can be used on eyes also.

Comments about Beige-Turner
This liner is so insanely versatile. It works well with almost every lipstick I own (I am a nude girlie) and it also does well on its own with just some lip balm or clear gloss.

Comments about Chestnut
I absolutely love this liner it is so long lasting and extremely pigmented. It also pairs well with every lipstick, I love pairing it with stone and yash and even baby pink glosses :)
My favorite lip liner for the past decade!
I bought a whirl pencil in 2016-2017. It lasted until this year! The forumla still hits! This liner applies smoothly and stays really well. It doesn't stay immovably, but I'd still say that it's durable.
