So on to the lip pencils from MAC, because that's what we're all here for- I've created a video showing all the lipliners in action but if you prefer still images here ya go! Others do lipstick first then correct with liner. PLEASE DON'T be afraid to wear lipliners alone!! This is fully acceptable! And do your lips how you like! Some will tell you line first, lipstick after. WHY do I choose to not go without this product? Well honestly, I'm all about comfort and sometimes when using matte or dry lip products, which can sometimes be lip pencils, the Prep + Prime Lip will ensure that your lipstick or pencil will glide on like butter! This will keep the product from crossing the lip boundaries you're creating. If you're using it to keep from bleeding then always prep a little over the lip line. The main purpose of this product is to keep your lipstick on longer, as well as act as a buffer to prevent lipstick/stain from bleeding and causing imperfect lines. First of all, I'm completely obsessed and choose not to apply lip products without it on not only myself but my clients.
MAC LIP LINER PENCIL IN BEET MAC
Since, I brought up the MAC Prep + Prime Lip I'll give you a little run down. Since you're laying down a colored base, it will only keep your lipstick on longer as well as still be there when your lipstick is fading away. Another way, other than my trusty MAC Prep + Prime Lip- which I'm obsessed with, to prolong the wear of your lipsticks- fully line and fill your lips in. Goes the same for the alternate scenario, add a light lip pencil all over the lip to alter the base creating a more true to color lip color. It's fun! It also gives you a lot more options with your lip colors!! Add a dark lipliner all over the lip and add a fun lighter shade over top- outcomes may vary but that's why makeup is an art. You can also use a lighter or darker lip shade as a base to change the color of lipstick or gloss that you lay over top. This example works for all shades pink, red, purple, blue. But you won't stop there- it's then your job to blend the edges so you're not reliving a terrible 90's trend. For example, if you have a milky nude shade like Myth but don't want it to look sooo pale, you can take a lip liner with a darker base (stripdown, spice or oak) to line to define. The fun thing about lipliners is that they don't have to perfectly match the shade of lipstick you'll be wearing. They now have an insane color assortment perfect for any lipstick you may own. MAC lipliners are among my favorite lipliners on the market. Lipliners can also perfect and balance the lips to create symmetry, shape and volume.
This comes from first hand experience working with reds, purples and pretty much any color that isn't nude. Lipliners are one of my favorite makeup products because without them a red or deep lip color just may look crazy. As we get more into makeup and continue experimenting with the perfect lip shade to compliment our skin tone, we'll soon cozy on up to using lipliners.
