How do you make lip liner stay put?
A sleek lip liner that doesn't bleed or fade requires the right approach. In this Short Story, our Skins Experts share how to create a long-lasting lip look: from choosing the right colour to combining lip pencil and lipstick. With these tips, your make-up will stay perfectly in place all day.
Which lip liner stays put?
Laura Mercier 's Caviar Perfecting Lip Liner is a favourite among our Skins Experts. Thanks to its creamy texture, the pencil glides effortlessly over the skin and the colour stays in place for a long time. Choose a shade to match your natural lip colour or, alternatively, a statement colour for extra definition. Combine with Westman Atelier' s Lip Suede Matte Lipstick for intense pigment with a velvety matte finish.
How to choose the right lip liner?
The right lip liner colour makes all the difference. For a natural effect, choose a colour just slightly darker than your own lips. Going for a bold Lipstick? Then match your lip pencil to the dominant colour in the palette. This way you will create a harmonious and well-groomed look.
Which lip liner goes with which lipstick?
Match your lipliner and lipstick according to colour intensity and undertone. For bold colours, a neutral liner works as a solid base, while a tonal combination creates a subtle overflow. Apply your lipliner before your lipstick and work from the outside in for extra precision.
Extra tips for long-lasting hold
Do you really want your lipliner to last all day? Then start by lightly exfoliating your lips - this removes dry skin and creates a smooth canvas. Then apply a moisturising, but not too oily lip balm and leave it on for a while. Next, lightly powder your lip contour before applying lip pencil. This base helps the product adhere better and prevents it from drawing in fine lines.
Expert Tip: a setting powder along the lip line helps to keep your lip liner in place for a long time. Apply a small amount around the lip contour with a fine brush to prevent bleeding or fading. Our Skins Experts like to choose SIMIHAZE BEAUTY' s Soft Blur Moisture-Lock Setting Powder for this purpose - a silky formula that comfortably mattifies the skin around the lips, without feeling dry.
