Do you still use lip liner?

Andrea Julia · Coach

I wear it, but it is pretty much the same shade as my lipstick. You can't really see the line. I've tried not wearing it, but then I realized that I don't know how to put on lipstick evenly without it.

sometimes.....but I blend (IMO) to perfection it never is a defined line.

I only use two colors from MAC:

Currant and Chestnut

I used to not wear it until recently. I use a nude liner, Mac's Spice (I think) and I think it makes a significant difference on me. It's neutral so it doesn't show a clear line, but it keeps the gloss/color in place. I use it when I wear lipstick or just plain gloss.

i think this is the one i occasionally use. but when i line my lips, it's always a neutral color and it's more of a base than a liner.

Yes, the key to lip liner is to use it as a base, as in blend it into all of the lips, not just a line around and in a more nude shade. Definite lines age you and look a little too 90's.

I also use it as base, but only for glosses--seems to help them stay on longer. My favorite liner is Estee' Lauder Spice, the perfect neutral color.
