Urban Decay 24/7 in Ozone. I’m on #3
I am currently loving the NYX Lip liners! If I had to pick one, I’d say shade Natural or Peekaboo Neutral – these are the perfect neutrals for me and I can use them with everything!
Cargo Reverse Lip Liner in Medium
Well, seeing as I only have one lipliner and it was an accidental purchase (totally thought I was buying a burgundy eyeliner), I would love to have a mlbb shade to go with everything.
Clear! That is the only one I use. The other one I own is red, and I almost never wear red… But I do agree that clear is the way to go!
I’m so boring…… I’d pick Mac Spice….. goes with EVERYTHING….
Medium blue red waterproof lip liner. (Think Mrs. Mia Wallace) I either go red/wine/magenta or go home pretty much. No pinks or nudes to speak of in my lipstick stash.
Urban Decay Paranoid (you know, if it wasn’t discontinued). It matches the color of my lips exactly so it creates an even-toned base.
Either clear or nude that matches my lips pefectly.
Rimmel East End Snob
MAC Cherry! I only wear lip liner with red lipstick and that one matches pretty much all blue based reds, which are my favorite.
Some red lip line by urban decay….a creamer lipliner
Hehe, me too! The Dior one is actually really good, and the lip brush on the other end of it is awesome. Not sure I’d repurchase it given the price (and my suspicion that other, more cost-effective clear lipliners are probably just as good) but I have to give credit where credit is due! 😀
MAC Spice without a thought! 🙂
It’d be an MLBB one. For the moment I’m quite happy with L’Oreal Contour Parfait in Barely Brown but I will order N°7 Nude soon, as Lisa Eldridge (who helped design it) constantly raves about it.
Lipstick Queen Invisible Liner. I think it is brilliant! Works with all of my lip colours and last ages on me! I wouldn’t recommend any other lip liner.
Mine would definitely be the Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie Lipliner inExhilarated. Its such a beautiful natural pink colour, the liner is soft so can easily be blended all over the lips for a base and lasts a long time on the lips. It extends the wear of any lipstick I put on over it and looks wonderful under a natural toned gloss. Absolute must have
Either Lise Watier Virtual Lipliner (it’s invisible) or MAC Dervish (when it comes to a coloured lip liner, Dervish is all I own and it’s all I need)
I guess a universal color yes, one that would work with any lipstick color.
MAC Whirl lipliner…already on my 4th pencil…its the only constant ive had 9ver the years.
It’s impossible to choose just one! I’ll be cheating and say a brown and a plum…sorry. Lol
Milani’s clear lip liner.
MAC Whirl. I could wear it with just lip balm or under any lipstick, since it works like a nude on me. It’s perfect to softly define my lips, and warm up my color just enough so I don’t look sick.
MAC Whirl. It is one shade darker than my natural lip color, so it looks great on me. It is my most used lip liner, although I use Auburn a lot too for my reds.
That’s so difficult! I think Whirl (from MAC) would be my choice (at least at the moment), I love using it to overdraw my lips! But then again, I can’t wear a red lippie with out my Cherry lipliner (also MAC). So I think cheating with a clear lipliner is the way to go!
Dior Candy Rose. I can make it work with just about anything in my collection.
Anti-feathered or Black Dahlia from OCC
Annabelle Buff or MAC subculture – both really close to my natural lip
MAC Nightmoth, followed closely by Chestnut also by MAC. These colors make all my lipsticks more wearable on my pigmented lips. I love these and use one of them on most days.
Ditto
Mac cremestick Pink Treat
I would have to say MAC’s chestnut. For Brown girls you can make that one go with just about anything 😀
MAC chestnut
This is a tough one! It’ll have to be between MAC Nightmoth, Currant and Magenta. I’m always using them to alter a lippie or add depth. I suppose I’ll pick Magenta since I use it the most lol
NYX Natural!
MAC’s Dervish, it’s so perfect!
I love dervish too 🙂
Yeah, I’m all for the clear lip liner too. I outline the outside of my lips and it keeps my lipstick from “bleeding” into my lip lines, I can’t wear lipstick without it. I’ve never noticed a huge difference in brands tho’.
Good question! for me it would be Subculture by Mac, I use it all the time
Probably MAC Nightmoth. Most of my lipsticks look okay without liner, but Cyber, not so much.
Bingo. Clear. Either TF Borderline, Sephora, or Milani, which is a distant third, as it melted in hot weather. But i haven’t tried UD ozone.
I only have one lip liner and it is orange. This is not quite as crazy as it sounds. I rarely have problems with colors feathering – I’m far more likely to just smear it all over my face – so I don’t really need liner most of the time. However I do have very pigmented blue-pink toned lips. I use orange lip liner all over underneath corals to keep them from morphing into pink.
MAC Bittersweet. It compliments alot
Inglot Soft Precision Lip Liner in #74… I’ve been using it since December and it’s the only one I use, and it goes with everything.
MAC NC50 for color reference
IMAN Nutbush Eyeliner (used as a lipliner)
While clear is a smart choice, when I think of lip liner, I think multi-tasker because mine was for quite a while when I was younger, in between sharpening I’d use it for my eyes as well as to stain lips a bit before a long lasting sticky clear gloss.. So, if this includes other makeup, I’d choose a medium/deep plum like Empress from Hourglass or something from BITE, or continue the DCd le lipstique by Lancôme in a medium plum lilac gray color called plum because it’s SO natural for shadow and doesn’t budge. I wasn’t expecting to feel perplexed by this question.. Everything in makeup has changed, continues changing, and will change, so formulations and needs don’t necessarily cover all grounds, so using a liner becomes a question of necessity for me..
Yep! Urban Decay Ozone.
I think I’d also go for a clear one. I don’t own any right now 🙁
same, or i would use one that’s my lip color
I would say. Darkmoth from MAC. I used that one the most.
I know nothing about lip liners! I wish I did!
Jordana Rock N’ Rose
I rarely wear lip liner unless it’s with red lipstick, and that’s only if I really need it to last. So I’d have to say UD 24/7 lip liner in 69.
I do not use, nor own lip liner. Never have. My lips are perfectly shaped naturally, so haven’t ever felt like I need to do anything about.
Mac Subculture!
Rimmel East End Snob
Hmm I don’t wear a ton of lip liner but if I had to pick I’d go with mac dervish or oak
reading thru this so many of u said some of my atf. Whirl, Dervish, and ofcourse Subculture!
MAC SPICE or clear.
MAC Currant
This is difficult. There are really two that I can’t seem to be without. Mac Chestnut and Mac Stone. They both go with all the lippies & glosses I use.
Hi Christine……. suggestion:
In your “comment/thoughts” section it would be a terrific help to know if you’ve reviewed product(s) mentioned.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Glo-minerals reverse lipliner…I love it!
Sisley’s fat crayon with the black and white stripes. I got the raspberry/berry color, don’t remember the name but it’s a wonderful cool “my lips but better” color. Creamy and non-drying but still stays in place and blends with my lipstick so I don’t have some crayon line around my mouth. It’s expensive but it’s worth it as it performs and lasts like you want it to.
I only have a few lipliners. I think I would choose UD Gash, because I can pair it with most shades of red.
TIGI bedhead lip liner in decaf
It would have to be Clinique Baby Buff perfect for my everyday nude lip since i love a heavy eye.
MUFE 2C
Only one?! OH, NO that question would causes me stress, so I’m not talking to you (as I walk away having a childish tantrum).
I went for years with only 1 lipliner – MAC Nightmoth – so that one’s easy to choose. Perfect liner for every kind of red and vampy lip, which are the colors you really need a good liner for in the first place.
Urban Decay Gash. I have been wearing it for years. I bought a ton of backups when it was discontinued and on sale on their website. It is the perfect red for me.
A clear one.
Mac Cork!
I don’t use it much but I still like having it just in case I have a lipstick that needs it to work: Rimmel London’s Tiramisu
If I used them more I might try Tilbury’s Iconic Nude, that looks nice
I own lipstick queen invisible lip liner which is great for staying power, but I find that I often need a lipliner to even out the color when I am wearing dark, vampy, berry lips. Right now I am switching between a purple leaning one from rimmel, and a cabernet leaning one from jordana. I find that dark lipsticks tend to be patchier than reds and pinks.
MAC Vino! Christine what clear liner do you recommend?
UD Ozone!
MAC Stone or their discontinued Hodge Podge
MAC Whirl lip liner, MAC Velvet Teddy lipstick, MAC Stripdown lip liner
