4 Reasons Why Applying Lip Liner Is A Must

Experts believe that lip liner is to lipstick what primer is to the foundation. While primer only makes the foundation set properly on our face, a lip liner does a lot more just setting the lip colour properly. Here are 4 important reasons why you must not skip lining your lips with a similar-hued lip liner before you apply lip colour.

* Prolongs The Lip Color

Lip liner simply prolongs the stay of your lip colour. Make sure your merge your lip colour and your lip liner properly. A tip — Don’t go for lip liners that are really darker shade of red than your red lip colours (especially if your red lip colour is blue undertone and a bright one); otheriwse, you might end up looking like a female Dracula!

* Prevents Bleeding Of Lip Colour

Lip lining your lips before applying a generous coat of lip colour will always save you from a bad post-lunch make-up hazard! While shopping for a good lip liner, make sure that it is perfectly matte – not too dry to look patchy, not too creamy to look like a satin lip colour.

* Defines Lips

This is not a rocket science at all! Lip liner, when used to line perfectly along the lines of your lips, will give a defined shape to your lips. Post this, apply a generous coat or two of your lip colour. After that, re-apply your lip liner on your lip colour lightly, so that both the products blend properly.

* Makes Lips Look Fuller

The right shade and the right application of both lip liner and lip colour will make you achieve a perfect pout! Lip liner enhances your lip colour and makes it look prominent. If the agenda of your make-up look is putting focus on your lips, you must line your lips with a good lip liner!
