Lip Makeup: Best Liners for Your Lips

From MAC and Smashbox to Wet n Wild, the pencils that got top ratings and product reviews

2 of 16

Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil, $24

TotalBeauty.com rating: 8
Why it's great: "This highly pigmented, chubby crayon delivers long-lasting wear with some moisture. The rich matte finish works remarkably well in the strong reds, though any of the colors can be topped with gloss. (Just know this affects length of wear.) Vitamin E and silicone help you forget you're wearing rich color. A pencil makes for pretty precise application -- but eventually you'll be reaching for a Nars custom-sized sharpener (which you must buy separately -- boo)." -- Beth, Editor-in-Chief

I'm glad my favorite lip liners made the list, and they work very well: Avon Ultra Luxury Lip Liner and Wet N Wild lipliner

If I use a lip liner at all, I use Benefit's clear liner (which didn't make the list, but it's really great!). I like the variety of products listed here and I got some ideas in case I ever go in search of a colored liner...

For $24 dollars that Nars pencil better be good.

I have found that as I age, I need a lip liner but the good ones are so hard to find...Thank you for giving me a head start on which ones to try first!

Must say love all the choices but Revlon lip liner is missing from that list, for a drug store product its amazing. Absolutely love how much pigment there is in each pencil and how smooth it glides on.
