5 Of The Best...Lip Liners
I’m super fussy with lip liners because the formula has to be just right. I don’t want anything too creamy because then it comes off too quickly, but I also don’t want anything so dry that it drags and makes the lips look crusty. It needs to have grip, a slight waxy finish, the shade need to be wearable, and it has to work with the kind of lip combo I’d actually wear day to day.
It wasn’t difficult coming up with the top 5 lip liners, because I don’t think there are actually that many that are amazing and tick every box. These are five lip liners I think are worth having on your radar.

This is still one of the liners I come back to the most. The formula has a waxy feel, which I actually love because it stays put. It grips the lip line really well, so if you like to slightly shape or over line your lips, it gives you control without slipping around everywhere. It glides over your lips really well.
The shades are also so good…for every skin tone and they don’t have that strange undertone that can make a nude lip look too pale. Iconic Nude is my personal favorite because it just works with everything and honestly feels like it was made for my exact skin tone. It gives shape without looking too obvious, and it’s one of those shades I know I can use without thinking too much. I also love the contour duo in medium. I’ve applied this many times without a mirror! This is the one I’d use when I want my lip to last and I want the liner to actually do its job.
