I remember using a lip liner when I was a teen. That's when the liner was darker than the colour of the lippy. As I've only just started buying lipsticks and stains, I wanted something that would do any colour.
I have some gloss and stains that bleed into the lines around my lips. I hate it but love the colours. So investigating I went, this was recommended to me on here.
It's a thin wooden pencil that needs sharpened. I like that.... The colour is lighter than my actual lip colour. I don't mind this at all, means I can "tidy" up my lips. When I put the bleeding lippys on, this stops that right away! I love that! If I make a mistake with the lip colour, I can draw over the mistake with this, this is where I like the face that I can sharpen the pencil. If the colour goes onto the pencil, sharpen it away.
I have used this on blemishes and marks on my face and it hides them. I do have other products I prefer for this job. I've also used as a eye liner, but again I have preferred products for that job.
Looking all around for a nude liner for my darker shades of lipsticks I found this lovely with its promises of being able to blend into most skin tones. It meets its promise and some!!
This is called Wonder Pencil for a reason as it’s multipurpose and it’s a great value. Being able to be used as a lip liner, eye liner and concealer it’s a must in your kit, especially if you’re a traveller it takes up less room than taking all 3 items. The fair/light shade was on the peach side rather than pink so suited my skin perfectly for use as a liner on my lips, it was able to over edge my lips to make them look bigger and fuller without it being obvious, and my lipstick didn’t feather out beyond the lines, filling in my lips also worked as a primer to hold lipstick in place for longer too.
- Lip liner: As a lip liner it is perfect as it means I don’t need several shades to match all my lipsticks, this one nude can cater for each and every one, it allows me to get a perfect line and prevents feathering, also acts like a primer if filling lips to keep lipstick in its place.
- Eye liner: As a eye liner it’s great for making a softer effect, used in the water line and on the top and lower lash line it can give a soft romantic look to your eyes, almost dewy if matched with a soft brown mascara and pink blush lids
- Concealer: not the best in the world for hiding blemishes and dark patches but in a pinch its better than nothing at all, its creamy formula means it blends in with your BB cream or foundation really effectively
The pencil is wooden barrelled which needs to be sharpen using a pencil sharpener every few months, the formula is slightly soft so it needs to be popped into a fridge before so that it doesn’t crumble or easily snap.
