Pink Lip Liner
When you're using pink lipstick or gloss for a sweet, romantic makeup look, pink lip liner can take the look to the next level. Liner highlights the shape of your mouth, creating a head-turning effect for a date night or an afternoon with friends.
How Do You Use Pink Lip Liner?
Pink lip liner is a versatile type of lip makeup. If you want a gentle touch of color, use the liner on its own for a casual look. When you're ready to transition to the evening or a formal event, top it off with clear lip gloss to enhance the color. You can also experiment with tinted lip gloss to create custom shades of pink. Alternatively, use the lip liner to define the outer edges of your lips and fill in the lines with lipstick for a sharp, professional look.
How to Pick a Shade of Pink Lip Liner
To find the right shade of pink, consider two factors: your complexion and your lipstick. When you want to wear liner as a standalone lip color, choose a shade with undertones that match your complexion. For blue undertones, you might look for a light pink lip liner; if your undertones are warm, try a coral shade. When you're searching for a natural pink lip liner, choose one that's slightly darker than your bare lips.
Alternatively, use your lápiz labial as a color reference. To create just enough contrast and definition, look for a shade of pink that's about two shades deeper. Products such as NYX Professional Suede Lip Liner come in a wide range of colors to help you find the right match.
How Long Does Pink Lip Liner Last?
How long a pink lip liner lasts depends on factors including the formula, your skin type, the weather and your activities. If you want to get the longest wear, look for liners that are made to last, such as essence Stay and NYX lip liner. Before you apply makeup, prepare your lips with primer or concealer to create a base for the liner and lip color.
Do You Need to Sharpen Pink Lip Liner?
Pink lip liner pencils such as essence Soft & Precise require sharpening; you can use a standard pencil sharpener to create a fine point. A retractable or mechanical lip pencil does not need to be sharpened. Instead, simply rotate the base to expose the tip.
