MAKE UP FOR EVER Lip Liner

Shop MAKE UP FOR EVER Lip Liner

A good lip liner does two jobs. It sharpens the edge of your mouth, and it gives lipstick something to hold on to. This page is for MAKE UP FOR EVER lip liner and lip pencils, so you can define, shape and fill in your lips before you add colour on top. Makeup Forever is a professional makeup brand, and its pencils are built around that artist-first approach. Want to see every shade and format from the brand?

Choosing a MAKE UP FOR EVER Lip Pencil

Start with how you plan to wear it, and be honest about how much time you have. A quick outline takes seconds, while a full-lip fill takes a few minutes but lasts through a long day. A pencil close to your natural lip colour gives a soft, believable outline. One a shade deeper than your lipstick adds definition and stops colour from creeping past the edge. The MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Color Pencil is listed here and across our eyeliner and brow pencil categories, so check the product page for the shade range and directions before you buy. The Artist Color Pencil Cosmic Multi-Use sits in the same lip liner category if you want something with a bit more personality. Not sure the brand is right for you?

How to Line Your Lips Properly

Start at the cupid's bow and draw the two peaks first. Then work outwards to the corners, and finish with the lower lip in short, light strokes rather than one long line. If you want colour to last, fill in the whole lip with the pencil before applying lipstick. Keep the line close to your natural edge, because a heavy outline reads dated. If your lips are dry or flaky, smooth on a balm first and let it sink in, since a pencil drags over rough skin and the line wobbles. Blend it inwards with a lip brush or your fingertip if it looks too sharp. Sharpen the pencil lightly before each use so the tip stays fine, which makes the cupid's bow far easier to draw cleanly. Once your mouth is done, finish the rest of your look from the makeup collection.
