Product Information
Full details
The Laura Mercier Longwear Lip Liner in Red Velvet is designed for anyone seeking a defined, long-lasting lip look. Its key benefit is providing a precise outline and preventing lipstick from bleeding or feathering, ensuring a flawless finish. A potential caveat is that while its unique texture is firm for precision, it might require a gentle hand for initial application for some users. This lip liner boasts a creamy, long-wearing formula that enhances your natural lip shape and can also be worn alone for a beautiful matte finish.

FAQs
How do I achieve a precise application with this lip liner?
Sharpen the pencil to a fine point. Start by lightly outlining your cupid's bow and the center of your bottom lip, then connect to the corners. For a clean edge, ensure your lips are moisturized but dry before application.
Can I wear this lip liner without lipstick?
Yes, the Laura Mercier Longwear Lip Liner has a creamy texture that can be worn alone for a comfortable matte finish.
How long does the lip liner typically last?
The 'Longwear' formula is designed for extended wear, typically lasting several hours, though this can vary based on eating and drinking habits.
What is the best way to sharpen this lip liner?
Use a cosmetic sharpener specifically designed for makeup pencils. This will help maintain a sharp point without breaking the product.
Does this lip liner dry out the lips?
While it offers a matte finish, the creamy texture is formulated to be comfortable and minimize dryness. However, for optimal comfort, ensure lips are hydrated before application.
What does 'Red Velvet' look like?
Red Velvet is a classic, deep red shade that offers a sophisticated and timeless lip color.
Troubleshooting
Lip liner feels stiff or drags on the lips.
Ensure the pencil is adequately sharpened. You can also try warming the tip very slightly by rubbing it gently on the back of your hand before application, or ensure your lips are well-moisturized.
Color feathers or bleeds despite using the liner.
Apply a very thin layer of foundation or concealer around the lip line before applying the liner. Ensure the liner is applied close to the lip line and is slightly blended outwards.
Lip liner breaks easily when sharpening.
Use a high-quality cosmetic sharpener. Avoid pressing too hard while sharpening and ensure the pencil is held steady.
