This lip liner excels at delivering both precision and a durable finish, making it a staple for creating polished lip looks. Its unique formulation allows for diverse application methods:
To achieve a crisp, well-defined lip line, ensure your lips are clean and moisturized. Starting from your cupid's bow, trace the natural curve of your upper lip, then connect to the outer corners. For the lower lip, start from the center and work outwards. The square design allows for excellent grip and control, helping you create a symmetrical outline. The Muted Mauve shade serves as an ideal base for nude, mauve, or even plum lipsticks, preventing feathering and enhancing the longevity of your lip color.
For a long-lasting, velvet-matte lip look, use the liner to completely fill in your lips after outlining. The high-payoff formula provides opaque coverage. You can wear it alone for a comfortable, durable matte finish or use it as a base to intensify the color and wear time of any lipstick or gloss applied over it. This technique is particularly effective for extending the life of your chosen lip color through meals and drinks.
Prep Your Lips: For the smoothest application, gently exfoliate your lips and apply a light lip balm, blotting off any excess before lining.
Warm the Pencil (Optional): If the liner feels a bit firm, you can gently warm the tip on the back of your hand for a few seconds to soften it slightly for an even smoother glide.
Layering: Apply a thin layer of the liner, then apply your lipstick or gloss, and finish with another light layer of liner on the edges for maximum staying power.
Your Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Liner comes ready to use. To maintain its fine point for precision, you will need a dedicated cosmetic sharpener. A high-quality sharpener designed for makeup pencils is recommended to ensure a clean cut and prevent product waste.
This lip liner is highly versatile and compatible with a wide range of lip products:
Lipsticks: Works seamlessly under any lipstick, whether matte, satin, or creamy, to define and extend wear.
Lip Glosses: Provides a defined edge to prevent gloss from feathering and can create a subtle ombré effect when paired with a lighter gloss.
Wear Alone: The high pigment and comfortable matte finish allow it to be worn as a standalone lip color.
To ensure the longevity and performance of your lip liner, follow these simple care tips:
Sharpen Gently: Always use a clean, sharp cosmetic sharpener. Twist the pencil gently to avoid breakage.
Store Properly: Keep the lip liner capped tightly when not in use to prevent the tip from drying out or breaking. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to maintain its creamy texture.
Keep Clean: Periodically clean your sharpener to ensure optimal performance and hygiene.
