The Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Liner is engineered for both precision and longevity, making it a versatile tool for enhancing your lip look.
For a sharply defined lip, begin by ensuring the pencil is freshly sharpened. Outline your natural lip line using short, feather-light strokes, starting from the Cupid's bow and moving outwards. For the bottom lip, start from the center and move towards the corners. The creamy formula allows for smooth gliding, creating a clean, crisp edge that prevents your lipstick or gloss from feathering throughout the day.
To achieve a full, velvety-matte lip, you can use the Blackberry lip liner to fill in your entire lip area. This creates a strong, opaque base that intensifies the color of any layered product or stands beautifully on its own. It also acts as a primer, significantly extending the wear time of your lip look. For example, wearing Blackberry as an all-over base under a similar toned lipstick can create a deep, rich, and ultra-long-lasting effect, perfect for an evening out.
The wax-based formula sets to a matte finish designed to lock color in place. This is particularly beneficial with darker or bolder shades like Blackberry, which can be prone to feathering into fine lines around the mouth. By creating a barrier, the liner helps maintain a pristine lip shape, even during eating or drinking.
This lip liner is designed to pair seamlessly with other ABH lip products. Layering it under a matching lipstick amplifies color intensity and wear. For a softer, more dimensional look, you can outline and fill your lips with Blackberry, then apply a clear or complementary lip gloss over the top, creating a subtle sheen while retaining the deep base color.
The Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Liner is a traditional wooden pencil that requires initial and regular sharpening.
Unpack: Remove the lip liner from its packaging.
Sharpen: Before first use and periodically thereafter, use a high-quality cosmetic pencil sharpener to achieve a fine, precise point. This ensures clean lines and prevents product waste. A sharp point is crucial for the intended precision application.
Lip Products: This lip liner is designed to be compatible with a wide range of lipsticks, liquid lipsticks, and lip glosses, especially those from the Anastasia Beverly Hills line. The Blackberry shade can complement various dark berry, plum, or even some nude lip colors for added depth.
Skin Tones: As a deep, rich shade, Blackberry is versatile and can beautifully enhance many skin tones, from fair to deep.
Lip Conditions: While the creamy formula glides on smoothly, for optimal application and wear, ensure your lips are exfoliated and moisturized.
Storage: Store the lip liner in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can affect the wax-based formula.
Sharpening: Regularly sharpen the pencil to maintain hygiene and a precise tip. Clean your sharpener after each use to prevent product buildup.
Hygiene: To prevent contamination, avoid sharing your lip liner. If using on multiple individuals (e.g., professional makeup artist), always sharpen and sanitize the tip between uses.
