Top 10 lip pencil
A clear contour of the lips and not only: the best of popular brands
Author: Julia Kapinos
The right choice of a universal cosmetic product with decorative and restorative functions, which is a lip pencil, is one of the basic prerequisites for creating a perfect image and comfort of sensations. The “expert of prices” selected a dozen of the best lip pencils in 2018, which received the most positive feedback from women of different ages - from girls to mature women.
How to choose a good lip liner?
The selection was carried out by our expert according to the following criteria, which are recommended to you when choosing a lip pencil.
Harmlessness
The main principle that was put at the forefront in compiling the rating is the harmlessness of a cosmetic product. Among the most popular lip pencils on the market, we selected only those that, judging by the reviews, do not cause an allergic reaction.
Persistence
This is one of the main indicators of quality lip pencil, which should be paid attention to when choosing. A blurred or “eaten” contour line will nullify even the immaculate in all other respects makeup.
Softness
The composition of the leads of any pencils for the lips necessarily includes wax, which contributes to the softness of the application and gives the line elasticity. From the overly soft lead with excessive wax content, the line will spread. Too hard (dry) pencil will not be able to provide it with continuity, as a result, liquid cosmetics will flow through the “tears”. In addition, micro-injuries may form on delicate skin. The best choice is the golden mean.
Protective cap
Very important detail for a mechanical pencil. Removable, as well as a dangling cap can cause damage to the stylus. It is very convenient when such a lip pencil is equipped with a built-in sharpening.
Which manufacturer to give preference?
Manufacturing firms with a solid reputation - Dior, Chanel, Lankom, Shiseido (Shiseido), Meibelin, Givenchy, L'Oreal, etc., by their very prestige alone, guarantee the high quality of their cosmetics. As for newcomers to the market, then blindly trust advertising is not worth it. At the same time, a high-quality product can be hidden under an unfamiliar brand. When choosing a lip pencil, pay attention to the country of origin (this also applies to brands), the presence of moisturizing ingredients, oils, vitamins in the stylus, information about which can be found on the pencil itself or on the sticker, as well as the expiration date and rules of care.

Which lip liner is better to choose?
- For those who have dry lips, moisturizing is important, so you should choose a pencil with a higher content of vitamins E and C in the pencil, rose or aloe vera extract and softening oils - palm, castor, coconut.
- The purpose of the pencil is directly related to the thickness of the slate. Narrow slate can only draw around a thin line of the lip. A wide slate has more possibilities: it is lip contouring, and contour feathering, and drawing a base for lipstick and gloss. Usually such pencils are supplied with a special brush.
And let your true friend pencil every day helps to make sponges more well-groomed, soft and seductive!
