Number one question i ask myself on a daily basis..
HOW DO I BE KYLIE JENNER??
(Or at least have her lips..)
Did she get them done? Did she not? What does she use? and so on and so fourth , so i felt compelled to write a post on the magic tool that is lip liner.
I must admit lipliner was never my most used product in my makeup bag purely because i was afraid i'd look like the woman who used to work in my local Tuthills newsagents who i'm one hundred percent sure, wore black eyeliner on her lips and the palest pink lipstick you could find. Quite literally , terrifying! So i suppose i was a bit slow on the uptake.
I've recently discovered in the past few years (and clearly Kylie has too) how much of a difference it makes to your lips and how nice your makeup looks when you wear the right one.
So i'm sticking to my roots again for this one (MAC hun for life and all) and without further ado.
My favourite MAC lipliners that you need in your makeup bag like now (or on your christmas list at least)
I also threw in a few selfies to show different ways they look on (and a few of my best friend jenni for good measure)
Number 1
Stripdown
As mentioned before in my previous post, the best colour for natural looking lips , not too dark , not too light. It's a warm toned brown that goes with every nude lipstick you could ever dream of and i bring it with me everywhere.
Worn best with : Every nude you have in your posession. Trust me.
Number 2
Whirl
This is one of the Kylie faves, probably the most lip coloured pencil (if that makes sense), Great for using all over your lip as an actual lipstick and also great for lining because it's a dusty shade of pink so its perfect for everybody.
Worn best with: Faux lipstick, Kinda Sexy lipstick, Please Me lipstick.
Number 3
Soar
Again, another Kylie fave, A gorgeous pinky colour that again matches the pink tones in your lip so a great way to wear this one again is it fill in your entire lips with the pencil to get the actual colour because it's so dreamy and so pretty and i've just now realized i don't know where mine is.
Worn best with: Creme cup lipstick, Angel lipstick.
Number 4
Stone
Ah now i'm partial to a bit of stone now and again. It's slightly cooler than the other liners (cool as in the colour not the personality trait although it does make me feel like i'm back in the 90's) it's a grey brown liner and it's also subtle in the sense that it's not really dark but it still does the job.
Worn best with : Viva Glam II, Or if you're feeling really brave, the new Viva Glam Rihanna II.
Number 5
Plum
Plum is a weird one because that used to be a liner that i'd look at and go "ewww" but oh god how the tables have turned. I know all you nude lip lovers are probably sitting there puzzled as to how this one works exactly. Yes in theory it is technically a plum colour BUT when worn more faint it gives an amazing definition to the lip line and if you want an in between colour for your actual lips it's amazing aswell.
Worn best with: All your nudes, Please me lipstick, Angel lipstick, Faux lipstick.
Number 6
Redd
Ah now this is the only red lipliner you need in your life. If you normally use red lipstick minus the lipliner and you find your lipstick bleeds and doesn't stay on long enough, well this will solve that problem. Just fill in your lips with the pencil and then put your lipstick over it and i guarantee it wont move for the night.
Worn best with: Red red and more red. (Or Ruby Woo lipstick)
Number 7
Nightmoth.
Last but not least , this is the vampiest lipliner of them all. I normally wear this around winter time with any deep wines and burgundy colours. Not for the faint hearted this pencil is a must for anybody who likes to embrace the more gothic side of life. Like the red lipliner, colour in your entire lip with this colour and put your lipstick on top and you're ready to go.
Disclaimer (do not wear this on a date for obvious reasons)
Worn best with: Rebel lipstick, Hangup lipstick , Media lipstick.
(Very very old picture but i love the colour)
