2017 has seen the rise of lip liners, as more and more beauty gurus in Singapore recommend the use of these heaven-sent products. While working on your classic lipstick can do you just fine, some lipsticks are difficult to use in defining the rim of your pout. This is where having a lip liner can be a life saver – since you’ll be provided with easy outlining skills like a piece of cake.

Defined lips complete your make-up look for the day. If you’re still deliberating whether owning a lip liner is a good decision, here are some of the known benefits of applying lip liner.

1. It defines and shapes your lips.
If applied well, a lip liner can easily define and give shape to your lips. This will allow you to achieve that perfect pout you are going for. For those with uneven-shaped lips, a lip liner can also be your next best friend as it allows you to shape your lips the way you want it to. If you’re seeking to step up your lipstick game, owning a lip liner can bring you a step closer towards your beauty goals.

2. It makes the lipstick last longer.
Lining your lips with a lipliner is proven to make your lipstick last longer. Some lipsticks fade and require frequent retouch after drinking or eating something greasy, but if you apply lipliner beforehand, the color is expected to last longer on the lips. Think of the lip liner as the eye primer to your eyeshadow palette, and the primer to your foundation.

The use of lip liner helps block moisture, which may be the reason why the product helps your lipstick color last longer than usual.

3. It makes the lips look attractive.
With Instagram-worthy lips like that of Kylie Jenner and other social media influencers, it’s not uncommon for us to desire that same full, attractive lip look. These plump lips are viral nowadays. Without a doubt, full lips do look sexy not only in camera but also in person. Defining your lips through the use of a lip liner is your ticket to achieve that well-defined, full plump lips!

4. It creates contours.
Who would have thought contouring can also be done on your lips? Using a lip liner can provide the perfect illusion of having nicely-shaped lips, that is if the product is applied properly. It’s a little tricky to learn, but once you master the right way of applying lip liner, your lipstick game won’t be the same again. It also helps reshape the lips to look bigger, fuller, and more even.

5. It can also be used as a lipstick.
A lip liner isn’t just used for lining the rims of your lips. As a matter of fact, you can make use of your lip liner as a lipstick by filling/coloring your lips in after outlining the shape. Doing so also creates a matte effect – which is perfect in achieving beautiful lips!
