FAQs
How do I use the NYX Professional Makeup Slim Lip Liner Pencil to prevent feathering?
Outline your lips just inside the natural lip line with the pencil. Then, lightly fill in the entire lip area with the liner before applying your lipstick. This creates a barrier that helps keep color contained.
Can I use this lip liner to fill in my entire lips?
Yes, the creamy formula allows you to fill in your entire lips for a matte, opaque finish or as a base for lipstick to enhance color intensity and longevity.
What is the shade 'Cream' best suited for?
The 'Cream' shade is a neutral beige tone that works well as a base for a variety of lipsticks, particularly nudes, pinks, and mauves, or can be worn alone for a subtle definition.
Does this lip liner require a special sharpener?
It is best to use a cosmetic pencil sharpener designed for makeup pencils. These sharpeners typically have blades that are better suited for softer cosmetic formulas.
How long does the color typically last?
When used as a liner, it significantly increases lipstick wear. When used to fill lips, it provides a long-lasting base that can endure for several hours, depending on eating and drinking habits.
Is this lip liner waterproof?
While it provides long-lasting wear and helps to prevent feathering, it is not specifically marketed as waterproof. It is designed to be a comfortable, creamy formula.
Troubleshooting
Pencil is difficult to sharpen.
Ensure you are using a sharp cosmetic pencil sharpener. If the core is too soft, try chilling the pencil in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes before sharpening.
Lip liner feels dry or tugs during application.
Exfoliate and moisturize your lips before application. Ensure the pencil is properly sharpened to a fine point.
Color seems different on the lips than in the packaging.
Lip liner color can appear differently based on your natural lip color and skin undertone. Test the shade on your hand or arm to gauge its undertones if possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a traditional pencil-style lip liner that requires sharpening. Ensure you have a cosmetic sharpener suitable for lip pencils. Sharpen the pencil to your desired point for precise application.
Compatibility: The Slim Lip Liner Pencil is compatible with all lipstick and lip gloss formulations. It is designed to work as a base or outline for any lip color product.
Care:
- Sharpening: Use a clean, dedicated cosmetic sharpener to maintain a sharp point. Avoid using paper or general-purpose sharpeners.
- Cleaning: If the pencil tip becomes contaminated, gently wipe it with a tissue. For deeper cleaning, a cosmetic brush cleaner can be carefully applied to the tip and allowed to dry.
- Storage: Store the pencil in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the formula from drying out or melting.
