What lip liner is the best?
The best lip liner really depends on what you want the lip liner to do?
If you want a lip liner to define and slightly over draw you lipsthen its best to go for a shade that’s slightly darker that the lipstick you are pairing it with. For instance, for a nude lipstick like MAC Velvet Teddy you might want to pair it with MAC Spice Lip Pencil if you are light in skin tone, or MAC Whirl Lip Pencil if you are a medium skin tone, or you might want to try MAC Chestnut Lip Pencil wiith it if you have a deeper skin tone. Whereas if you were wearing bolder lipsticks lip MAC Ruby Woo Lipstick then a deeper shade of Lip Liner like MAC Brick Lip Pencil or MAC Burgundy Lip Pencil will give you the same fuller lip look.
However if you just want your Lip Liner to help create a sharper, crisper and cleaner edge without over drawing your natural lip line, then matching your Lip Liner to your lipstick is the best advice. So with the lipstick shades mentioned above you would want to look at lip liner shades like MAC Ruby Woo Lip Pencil to match Ruby Woo Lipstick and MAC Boldly Bare Lip Pencil to match with Velvet Teddy.
