I was delighted to receive this lip liner with the matte lipstick - mostly I am lazy about lining and this is the first neutral-coloured one I have seen. Small in length, the product makes for easy fit into a compact.
I applied it fully over the lips and followed with the lipstick which seemed to remain intact longer than without the liner. Next time I just edged with liner, again a good result, especially when it came to accuracy, although the infill did wear off quicker.
I expected the centre to "roll up" and was a little bemused it needed sharpening the conventional way, pencil sharpener or kitchen knife! Neither was totally successful for me, perhaps I need practice. However, I have persevered and although my sharpening efforts are nowhere as tidy as the original I still get good results by using this liner.
I received the lip liner pencil along with the Max Factor Velvet Matt Lipstick to trial just recently which was a nice surprise as I did not expect a lip liner too.I have never really been one to wear lip liners as I have felt they are just too hard and messy to apply and me not having the most fullest of lips,felt it a waste of time so when I saw the Max Universal colourless (yes that is correct) Lip Liner I jumped for joy.Wow! a lip liner that can be used with any shade of lipstick and will match any skin tone,this is awesome,no more messy mistakes and no need for a heap of liners that you end up buying just to match your lipsticks.This lip liner was easy to apply and it did help keep my lipstick in place,I had no bleeding,feathering or any smudging.I love how it contains natural ingredients such as Jojoba Oil and Vitamin E which are known for their moisturising and nourishing abilities.If you follow the tips suggested above you can not go wrong when using this lip liner.
