DuWop Reverse Lip Liner, $19

TotalBeauty.com average user rating: 9*
Why it's great: "As a lip liner ... it is a must-have. Apply to the outer rim of your lips. It wonderfully prevents lipstick feathering, creates a nice, clean edge/line for the mouth [without] embarrassing liner edges, conditions the area, and is just pleasant to use. I wouldn't be without mine ... definitely a staple in my makeup bag!" -- mamalizzie, TotalBeauty.com member

I have been looking for a good lip liner!

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.

Good article, but I don't really wear lipliner and I don't really know anyone who wear lipliners. I don't think they are that popular.

Good suggestions. I just don't really ever wear lipliners.
