The NYX Professional Makeup Slim Lip Liner Pencil in Espresso is a highly pigmented, buttery-soft lip liner designed for precise application and long-lasting wear. It's ideal for anyone looking to define their lips, prevent lipstick feathering, or create a rich base color.

The NYX Professional Makeup Slim Lip Liner Pencil in Espresso excels at creating a clean, defined boundary for your lip color. Its buttery-soft consistency means it glides without effort, perfect for quick morning routines or detailed evening looks. The rich pigmentation of the Espresso shade makes it suitable for pairing with a wide range of brown, nude, or even dark red lipsticks.
Define and Fill: Start by outlining your natural lip line. For a more intense or long-lasting look, gently fill in your entire lip area with the liner. This creates a base that helps your lipstick adhere better and wear longer, even if your lipstick fades.
Prevent Feathering: The bleed-resistant formula is excellent for keeping glossy or creamy lipsticks from migrating. Apply directly to the lip line to form a barrier.
Enhance Volume: Slightly over-line your lips just outside your natural lip line for a fuller appearance, then blend gently inwards before applying lipstick.
Matte Lip Base: Wear the Espresso shade alone for a soft, matte brown lip look. This works particularly well for a more subtle or everyday style.
Example: To achieve a polished evening look with a deep brown lipstick, first outline and softly fill your lips with the Espresso liner. Then, apply your lipstick. This ensures a crisp edge and prevents your lipstick from bleeding throughout the evening.
Your NYX Slim Lip Liner Pencil is ready for use straight out of the package. Before first use, or when the tip becomes dull, gently sharpen it to achieve a fine point for precise application. Use a cosmetic pencil sharpener for best results.
Lipstick: Compatible with virtually all lipstick formulas (matte, satin, cream, sheer) to define the lip line and extend wear.
Lip Gloss: Helps prevent gloss from migrating outside the lip line.
Alone: Can be worn on its own for a matte lip color.
Sharpening: Use a high-quality cosmetic pencil sharpener. Turn the pencil gently to avoid breakage. Clean your sharpener regularly.
Storage: Store the lip liner in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its creamy texture and prevent it from drying out or melting.
Hygiene: To maintain hygiene and product integrity, avoid sharing your lip liner. If used professionally, follow proper sanitization protocols.
