The Barry M Lip Liner in Red is engineered for precise application and extended wear, making it a reliable tool for crafting a polished lip look. Its creamy texture ensures a comfortable glide along the lip line, suitable for both quick definition and more elaborate makeup styles.
Prep Your Lips: Begin with clean, dry, and moisturized lips. Gentle exfoliation can create the smoothest canvas for application.
Outline Your Cupid's Bow: Start by drawing an 'X' or two small arcs at the center of your upper lip to define your cupid's bow.
Trace the Upper Lip: From the peaks of your cupid's bow, draw lines extending to the outer corners of your upper lip.
Outline Your Lower Lip: Start from the center of your lower lip and draw outwards towards the corners, connecting with the upper lip line.
Connect and Refine: Gently connect all lines to form a complete lip outline. For a subtly fuller look, you can slightly overline just outside your natural lip line, focusing on the cupid's bow and the center of the lower lip.
Fill (Optional): For increased longevity of your lip color or if wearing the liner alone, lightly shade in your entire lip with the liner. This creates a base that helps subsequent lip products adhere better and prevents color from bleeding.
Apply Lip Color: Follow with your chosen Barry M Velvet or Satin Lip Paint, or a That's Swell! Lip Plumper, staying within the defined liner.
Warm It Up: If the liner feels a bit firm, gently warm the tip between your fingers for a few seconds. This softens the formula for an even smoother application.
Light Hand: Use a light hand for initial outlining; you can always build up the intensity and refine the line.
Blotting: After applying your lip color over the liner, gently blot your lips with a tissue to remove excess product and further enhance wear.
Color Matching: For the most cohesive look, choose a liner that matches your natural lip color or the lip paint you intend to use. For a bolder, more dimensional look, a slightly deeper liner can be used.
The Barry M Lip Liner is ready for immediate use. Simply remove the cap. For the most precise lines, ensure the tip is sharp; if not, use a cosmetic sharpener to achieve a fine point before your first application.
Lip Paints: Designed to be used seamlessly with Barry M Velvet Lip Paints and Satin Lip Paints. The liner acts as a barrier, preventing these colors from feathering and creating a clean, crisp edge.
Lip Plumpers: Provides a defined base for glossy finishes like Barry M That's Swell! Lip Plumpers, helping to contain the gloss within your lip line for a polished look.
General Lip Products: Compatible with most other lipstick, lip gloss, or liquid lip products, enhancing definition and extending wear across your makeup collection.
Sharpening: Regularly sharpen your lip liner with a high-quality cosmetic sharpener. A sharp point ensures precise application and helps maintain product hygiene by exposing a fresh layer.
Storage: Store the lip liner in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This prevents the formula from melting, hardening excessively, or drying out.
Hygiene: Always replace the cap tightly after each use to protect the product from air exposure, dust, and potential contamination. For personal hygiene, avoid sharing your lip liner.
Cleaning: If the pencil casing becomes soiled, gently wipe it with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the pencil in water, as this can affect the wood and formula.
