Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Liner - Cool Brown

Yes, absolutely! The Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Liner has a full-pigment, velvet-matte finish and can be worn all over the lips for a long-lasting, sophisticated matte lip color without any additional product.

This is a traditional pencil lip liner. Use a standard cosmetic pencil sharpener designed for makeup pencils. For best results, rotate the pencil gently to avoid breakage and empty the shavings regularly.

While it provides a velvet-matte finish, which by nature is less hydrating than glossy formulas, it's designed to be creamy. To ensure maximum comfort, always prepare your lips by moisturizing them with a lip balm before application, especially if you have dry lips.

This brown liner pairs beautifully with Anastasia Beverly Hills Matte & Satin Velvet Lipsticks in coordinating brown, nude, or even deeper red shades. It's also versatile enough to define the lips under a wide range of other lipstick colors for added depth and longevity.

Yes, one of the primary benefits of using a lip liner like this is to create a barrier that helps prevent your lipstick from feathering or bleeding outside your lip line, ensuring a clean and polished look.

Info needed: The product description emphasizes 'long-lasting' and 'velvet-matte,' which typically indicates good wear, but it does not explicitly state 'waterproof' or 'transfer-proof.' For best results, allow it to set briefly after application.

Ensure the tip isn't extended too far if it's a twist-up (though this is a traditional pencil). If sharpening, use a high-quality, sharp cosmetic pencil sharpener. Store the liner in a cool environment; sometimes excessive warmth can soften the core, making it prone to breaking.

For extended wear, apply the lip liner not just around the edges, but also fill in your entire lip before applying lipstick or gloss. This creates a stronger base for your lip color.

Ensure your lips are well-hydrated and smooth before applying. Gently exfoliate if there are dry patches, and apply a light layer of lip balm, blotting off any excess, to create a smooth canvas.

Make sure you are creating a complete and solid line around your lips. If overlining, do so subtly and ensure the liner creates a barrier to prevent lipstick migration. Consider setting your lip liner with a very light dusting of translucent powder before applying lipstick.
