Lip Pencil Australis
Australis Lip Liner Pencil is conveniently designed, similar to the pencil shape we often use. What made me choose to buy this product is that it contains vitamin C, which helps my lips get the right color and does not cause dry lips.
This type of lip liner has 3 colors: red (Lady In Red), brown (Canoodle) and baby pink (The Hamptons). Among them, my favorite color is Canoodle. In my opinion, this color is very easy to use and not picky about skin color, very convenient for those who are buying lip liner for the first time.
As for the color Lady In Red, it will be suitable for sexy, seductive girls. That vibrant red color, in my opinion, is really suitable for girls who party and love to stand out.
Finally, The Hamptons color, in my opinion, will be quite picky about skin tone, only suitable for girls who like Western style make-up!

Mira Auto Lipliner Lip Liner
With this Mira Auto Lipliner lip liner from Korea, it has very good smoothness and is also easy to use so we can draw the lip line as desired.
This type of pencil has a very convenient twist design. In addition to using it to line your lips, it can be used like a regular lipstick to fill your lips.
A small minus point for this product is that the graphite texture is quite soft and the graphite tip is large, making it difficult to draw. Therefore, if you do not use it skillfully or are not used to it, it will easily smudge and not have a sharp edge to your lips.

The only minus point is that the price of this product is quite high. But really, with a product from such a famous cosmetic brand and its quality, the price is extremely reasonable.

In addition, another thing that I really like is that the lipstick core is very smooth and gentle, making it easy to use. However, because the lipstick core is so soft and smooth, it can break easily. Besides, the price is also quite high so you need to be careful when using it!

The “divine” effect of lip liner
People often think using lip liners is unnecessary. However, lip liner has extremely useful uses for makeup that few of us pay attention to. After a long time of adding lip liner to my make-up routine, I have noticed the following effects:
- Keep lipstick from “flowing” out
For a clumsy person like me, smudges when applying lipstick happen almost often, especially when I use liquid lipstick. After using more lip liners, it has stopped significantly. My lip lines are more clearly defined when I use lip liners.
- Shape the lip contour to correct imperfections
If you have thin lips like me, using a lip liner is very useful! We can use a pencil to add a wider lip line outside the lips, then apply lipstick and you will immediately notice the difference. Our lips will become much fuller and more attractive.
What about those with thick lips? You can also use lip liner to create the inner border of your lips just enough, then apply overlapping lipstick. Just like that, you have beautiful lips!
- Darken lipstick color
A little tip for you, after using lip liner, your lipstick color will be much darker even if you only apply a thin layer. Let’s try it!
- Keeps lipstick color long-lasting
After a period of using a lip liner before applying lipstick, I feel the lipstick color will last longer. In case the lipstick wears off, the pencil layer remains on my lips, making it feel like the lipstick color is still there and my lips are not pale at all.
According to my research, there are some cases where makeup artists even use lip liner on the entire lips before applying lipstick.
Current types of lip pencils
Based on the structure of the lip liner core, it can be divided into 2 types:
- Lip liner has a pencil-like texture
Lip liner has a pencil-like texture that will easily create desired and precise lines, suitable for those who want to shape sharp, clear lip lines.
However, because the graphite core is hard, it is not suitable for use on the lips, the graphite tip is easily broken, so you must always carry a pencil sharpener with you…
- Lip liner has a creamy texture
This is a lip liner with a cream core. The cream core contains super fine color particles so it is very easy and quick to apply on the lips. The lip contour when using this type of pencil is very smooth and suitable for a clear, natural makeup style.
In particular, lip liner has a creamy texture that is very durable. In addition, we can also use it as a blush cream.
Some experience in choosing to buy lip liner
The lip pencil is a relatively easy cosmetic to choose from because there are not too many different types on the market. Below are some experiences when choosing to buy lip liner that I have “collected” after a period of use:
- Choose a lip liner that matches your lipstick color
The first and easiest thing when choosing a lip liner is to choose a pencil color that is similar to the lipstick color you are using. You should not use lighter-colored lip liners, otherwise, the lip line will not only be unclear but will also be blurred when you apply lipstick.
Vice versa, if you use a lip liner that is too dark in color when the lipstick is completely washed off, it will leave a dark border that looks very unsightly.
The most economical option is to buy nude or neutral lip pencils. Nude color can be used with all lipstick colors. Neutral colors like light pink, light purple, light gray,… are easy to mix with lipstick colors. That’s so convenient, right?
- Choose a lip liner that matches your skin tone
This is a principle that I think you should keep in mind to apply to primer, foundation, powder, or lipstick,… not just lip liner.
If your skin is white, or slightly pale, you should choose coral, pink, or nude lip liner… it will look more natural. If you have rosy white skin, any color lip liner is suitable. In return, if your skin is brown, you should choose bright red or very dark pink to help highlight your lip color more.
- Choose a lip liner that suits the situation and makeup style
If you want light, normal make-up for school, work, etc. then choose to buy a lip liner whose color matches your lipstick color or a nude color. This will be more convenient when you use it.
When you want to put up in a different, impressive style to attend a night party, attend a festival, etc., you can buy a lip liner that has nothing to do with the lipstick color, even a contrasting one, to make an impression. More impressive for the lips.
- Choose a lip liner that is easy to use
In my opinion, pencil or cream lip liner both have their advantages and disadvantages. The pencil form is easier to draw, but the outline is sharp and stiff. The cream type has a smoother, more natural contour, but it is difficult to draw and when applied, the lipstick easily smudges.
Depending on your ability and habit of using lip liners, you can choose the appropriate type!
- Choose lip liner according to origin and brand
There are very few lip liner manufacturers. The types of lip liners sold on the market today are mainly made by Chanel, Dior, Marc Jacobs, Urban Decay, Clinique MAC, etc. Among them, the lip liners of Chanel, Dior, and Marc Jacob are more expensive than those of Urban Decay, Clinique and MAC are somewhat cheaper.
How to use lip liner
Many girls buy lip liner but throw it in the corner of the dressing table because it can’t be used. Using lip liner is quite difficult, you have to be a little clever and understand the steps and notes below:
Step 1: Place the pencil in the middle of the philtrum and pull it to the right edge of the left edge. Use a colorless wax pen to overlap another line to reduce the dryness of the border. Repeat the same with the lower lip line.
Step 2: Use a brush to take lipstick and apply evenly inside the lip line. Use tissue paper to gently absorb the lipstick oil layer, keeping the fixed lipstick color. Continue applying another layer of lipstick to fix the color.
Step 3: Adjust the lip border color accordingly.
Apply lipstick about 1cm outside the lipline if you want thicker lips. Cover the outside with a layer of lip gloss to plump and attract while distracting the other person’s attention from the lip contour.
If you want smaller, softer, more natural lips, apply lipstick a little within the lip line, avoid using glossy lipsticks, and apply lighter-colored lipstick on the sides of the lips.
Some notes to know when using lip liner
A few tips to know when using lip liner below I think will help you a lot, for example:
Moisturize with lip balm before applying lip liner. Moist and smooth lips will help the pencil color look better and last longer.
Furthermore, lip liner contains chemicals, long-term use can cause darkening and affect the natural pigmentation of the lips. Using a layer of moisturizing lipstick before applying lip liner will help a lot.
To make the pencil line color more natural, you can leave the pencil in the refrigerator for a few minutes before taking it out to use.
And this may not be known to everyone, that lip liner can replace matte lipstick. When you accidentally forget your favorite matte lipstick at home, think about lip liner instead.
Use a pencil to evenly line the lip area and then use your hands or a brush to blend evenly, you will immediately have a new, truly matte lipstick color.
Which lip liner product should I choose?
Among the lip liners I mentioned above, I feel that choosing Clinique Quickliner For Lips is the best.
Clinique Quickliner For Lips waterproof lip liner contains plant-derived ingredients, providing good protection for delicate and sensitive lip skin. When using this lip liner regularly. You don’t need to worry about dark lips, etc.
Clinique Quickliner For Lips lip liner also helps add moisture to the lips, keeping them from drying out for many hours.

In addition, this Clinique Quickliner For Lips lip pencil also has an easy-to-use lead core, a convenient screw cap design, so you don’t have to worry about the lead breaking when carrying,…
The only problem that Clinique Quickliner For Lips faces is probably that the price is too expensive, and not suitable for the ability of many of us women.
If you don’t have enough budget to buy Clinique Quickliner For Lips, you can consider Mira Auto Lipliner (10g). This is a lip pencil also in pencil form that is very easy to use, has a screw cap, and has beautiful smooth color…
