The Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Liner in Malt is an essential tool for anyone aiming to achieve perfectly defined and polished lips. Its smooth-gliding formula ensures precise application, making it ideal for outlining, filling, or wearing as a standalone, long-lasting color. With its versatile brown tone, it complements various skin tones and makeup looks, though consistent sharpness for precision requires regular sharpening.
Shade 'Malt': A versatile brown tone that complements various skin tones and makeup styles, offering a natural yet defined look.
Smooth-Glide Formula: Designed for effortless and precise application, ensuring the liner glides on smoothly without tugging or skipping.
Precision Definition: Creates a clean and polished outline, enhancing the natural shape of your lips.
Versatile Use: Can be used for outlining the lips, filling them in completely as a base for other lip products, or worn alone for a matte finish.
Long-Lasting Color: Provides a durable base that helps extend the wear of your lipstick or gloss, or offers long-lasting color when worn solo.
Precise Application: The smooth formula allows for sharp, defined lines.
Versatile Shade: 'Malt' is a universally flattering brown that pairs well with many lip colors.
Extended Wear: Helps to prolong the longevity of your chosen lip color.
Multi-functional: Excellent for outlining, full lip coverage, or as a standalone color.
Prevents Feathering: Creates a barrier that can prevent lipstick or gloss from bleeding.
Requires Sharpening: As a traditional pencil, it needs a cosmetic sharpener to maintain a fine point.
Potential for Drying (if worn alone): While long-lasting, wearing any lip liner alone might feel less moisturizing than a lipstick or gloss.
Single Shade Focus: Only provides the specific 'Malt' brown, requiring other liners for different color palettes.

The Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Liner in Malt is engineered for optimal performance in defining and enhancing your lip look. Its creamy, yet firm, texture ensures a seamless application, allowing for both delicate outlining and comprehensive filling.
Prepare Your Lips: Ensure your lips are clean and moisturized. Gently exfoliate if needed for the smoothest canvas.
Outline for Definition: Start by drawing a line around the natural contour of your lips. For a slightly fuller look, you can subtly overline just outside your natural lip line, focusing on the cupid's bow and the center of the bottom lip. Use light, feathery strokes for a natural appearance.
Fill for Extended Wear: For a long-lasting base or an intense color payoff, fill in your entire lips with the liner. This creates a uniform base that helps lipstick or gloss adhere better and prevents feathering.
Wear Alone: The shade Malt is rich enough to be worn on its own for a sophisticated, long-wearing matte lip. For a comfortable finish, you might follow with a clear balm or a touch of gloss in the center of your lips.
Pairing: This versatile brown shade works beautifully under a wide range of lipsticks and glosses, from nude to deeper berry tones. It can also be paired with other Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Liners for custom color blending.
Everyday Natural Look: Outline and lightly fill lips, then apply a nude lipstick or clear gloss for polished daytime wear.
Evening Glamour: Create a strong, defined lip line and fill completely. Pair with a deep brown or red lipstick for a dramatic statement.
Prevent Feathering: For bold or creamy lipsticks, outlining with Malt provides a crucial barrier, keeping color neatly within the lip lines, especially useful for mature skin.
Adjusting Lip Shape: Use the precise tip to subtly correct asymmetries or create the illusion of fuller lips before applying your main lip color.
First Use: Ensure the lip liner tip is sharp. If it's a new pencil, it should already be pointed. If not, use a clean cosmetic sharpener to achieve a fine point.
Lip Preparation: For best results, start with clean, dry lips. A light exfoliation can remove dry patches, and a thin layer of lip balm applied a few minutes prior and blotted off can create a smooth surface for application.
With Other Lip Products: The Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Liner in Malt is designed to be highly compatible with a wide range of lipsticks, liquid lipsticks, and lip glosses from Anastasia Beverly Hills and other brands. Its smooth texture allows for seamless layering.
Skin Tones: The versatile brown tone of 'Malt' is generally suitable for various skin tones, offering a natural contour or a subtle, standalone lip color.
Sharpening: Regularly sharpen your lip liner with a high-quality cosmetic sharpener to maintain a precise tip. This ensures clean lines and helps prevent breakage. Clean your sharpener frequently.
Storage: Always replace the cap tightly after each use to prevent the liner from drying out and to protect the tip from damage. Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can alter the formula's consistency.
Hygiene: Avoid sharing your lip liner with others to maintain hygiene. If using on clients, sharpen and sanitize the tip before each application.
