FAQs
How long does the Laura Mercier Longwear Lip Liner last?
The long-wearing formula is designed to last for many hours, typically through eating and drinking, though frequent meals may require touch-ups.
Can I wear this lip liner without lipstick?
Yes, the creamy formula glides on smoothly and can be worn alone for a natural, matte brown finish.
What is the shade 'Chestnut' similar to?
Chestnut is a warm, medium brown shade that often complements natural lip colors and pairs well with nude, pink, or berry lipsticks.
How do I sharpen this lip liner?
If it's a traditional pencil, use a cosmetic sharpener designed for pencils. If it's a mechanical pencil, twist the base to reveal more product; it does not require sharpening.
Does this lip liner contain any particular ingredients I should be aware of?
The product is formulated for smooth application and longevity. Specific ingredient lists are best found on the product packaging or the official Laura Mercier website.
Is the Chestnut shade suitable for all skin tones?
Chestnut is a versatile brown, but its warmth means it may appear deeper or lighter on different skin tones. It generally works well for medium to deeper skin tones and can be adapted for lighter tones with careful application.
Troubleshooting
Lip liner is difficult to apply or feels draggy.
Ensure the tip is sharp. If it's a traditional pencil, sharpen it. If it's a mechanical pencil, twist up more product. For very dry lips, apply a thin layer of lip balm and let it absorb before using the liner.
Lipstick is still bleeding despite using the liner.
Ensure you have created a clean, unbroken line around the entire lip. Reapply the liner and ensure it has set for a moment before applying lipstick. Make sure the liner is applied to the skin just outside the lip line, not directly on the lip where lipstick will go.
The color payoff is too light when worn alone.
Apply a second layer of the lip liner to build up intensity. Ensure the lip surface is dry and free of balm or oils for maximum color adherence.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Laura Mercier Longwear Lip Liner is ready to use straight from the packaging. If it is a traditional pencil, you will need a sharpener to ensure a fine point for precise application. If it is a mechanical pencil, twist the base to reveal more product as needed.
Compatibility: This lip liner is designed to be compatible with all lipstick formulas, whether cream, matte, satin, or sheer. It can also be used with lip gloss, though the gloss may diminish the liner's longevity slightly.
Care: To maintain the integrity and performance of your lip liner:
- Always store with the cap securely fastened to prevent drying out.
- Keep away from extreme heat or direct sunlight.
- Clean the tip gently with a tissue if any product buildup occurs.
- If using a pencil version, sharpen regularly to maintain a sharp point for precise application.
