Youngblood Lip Liner Pencil

Youngblood lip liners in 7 shades, from natural nude to deep wine red

A lip liner shapes the lips and keeps lipstick or gloss neatly within the lines. It stops colour from bleeding into the fine lines around the mouth and gives lipstick a base to cling to. A lip liner also works without lipstick: filled in over the whole lip, it gives a soft, matte lip colour.

In this collection you'll find the Youngblood Lip Liner Pencil in 7 shades. The creamy pencil glides over the lips without skipping or dragging and gives a defined line with a soft matte finish. According to Youngblood, it helps keep the colour in place for longer without drying out the lips. Each pencil contains 1.1 g.

Why choose a Youngblood lip liner?

A good lip liner has to do two things at once: be soft enough not to drag, and firm enough for a fine, precise tip. The Youngblood Lip Liner Pencil combines a creamy base with plant-based waxes, so even light pressure draws a clear line.

• Creamy formula that glides without skipping

How do you use a lip liner?

1. Sharpen the pencil to a fine point, for example with the Duo Pencil Sharpener
2. Start at the Cupid's bow and draw short strokes towards the corners of your mouth
3. Line the lower lip from the centre outwards
4. Lightly fill in your lips with the pencil for extra hold
5. Apply your lipstick or gloss, or wear the pencil on its own

Frequently asked questions

Which lip liner colour should I choose for my lipstick?

Choose a lip liner that is the same depth as your lipstick or just slightly darker, in the same colour family. That way, the line won't show as your lipstick fades. If in doubt, a shade close to your own lip colour, such as Pout or Au Naturel, is the safest choice: it works under many different lipsticks.

Can I wear a lip liner without lipstick?

Yes. Fill in your whole lip with the pencil for a soft matte lip colour that lasts. For more shine or comfort, add a clear gloss or nourishing balm on top. Malt, Rosé and Truly Red are lovely shades for this.

How do I make my lips look fuller?

Draw the line exactly on or very slightly outside your natural lip line, especially at the centre of the upper and lower lip. Use a shade close to your own lip colour and blend the line inwards. A lighter lipstick or gloss in the centre enhances the effect.

How do I sharpen a creamy lip liner without the tip breaking?

Use a sharp sharpener that fits the thickness of the pencil, such as the Duo Pencil Sharpener. If the pencil has become warm, pop it in the fridge for a moment before sharpening. Turn slowly with light pressure to keep a fine, even tip.
