One thing to know about me is that I’ll never be caught dead wearing a lip combo without a good liner. It’s common knowledge among beauty lovers that your favorite lip colors (stains, lipsticks, and glosses) are made even better when they’re given a little more definition with the help of a lip liner, but it can also make or break your look. Rather than shying away from incorporating them into look for fear of ruining your hard work, take this as your sign to consider spending extra time hunting for your perfect lip liner match.
Investing in lip liners that define, shape, and deliver pigmented color is an easy way to level up your makeup, allowing you to transform your look by putting slightly more pressure on the tip of your lip liner or playing around with blending lip products. I like to think lip liners aren’t very different from the crayons and colored pencils I used as a child. I’m coloring in or outside of the lines to create my own little masterpiece.
Who wants to sacrifice an iconic lip look for a product that doesn’t do exactly what it promises? Below, I’ve compiled a list of the best lip liners accompanied by glowing reviews from Sephora, Ulta, and Nordstrom customers. If you like what you see, screenshot your favorites for quick access on your next trip to the store. Keep scrolling!
