Youngblood Lip Liner Pencil Au Naturel 1.1g

Lip liner in nude brown for a defined, natural line

Nude lips are a classic, but without a contour they quickly fade into the rest of the face. A lip liner in a nude brown shade gives the lips shape without standing out as an obvious line. That makes it one of the most versatile lip liners you can own.

The Youngblood Lip Liner Pencil Au Naturel is a creamy lip liner in nude brown. The soft formula glides over the lips and draws a neat, even line with a soft matte finish. According to Youngblood, the pencil helps your lip colour last longer, without a drying feel. Vitamin E keeps the lips supple.

Colour: Au Naturel is a nude brown, slightly deeper and warmer than the peachy pink of Pout. Malt is warmer still, with a mauve tone; for a touch of pink, choose Rosé.

Active ingredients

Au Naturel has a creamy base with nourishing ingredients:

Vitamin E: Listed in the ingredients as tocopherol. According to Youngblood, it nourishes and softens the lips, so the pencil glides smoothly. This keeps the line comfortable, even when you wear it all day.

Candelilla and carnauba wax: Plant-based waxes that give the pencil its shape and firmness. This keeps the tip fine, so you can draw a neat, even line.

Olive oil esters: Hydrogenated olive oil esters give the formula its creamy, soft texture. They make sure the pencil doesn't drag on the lips.

Ascorbyl palmitate: A form of vitamin C that works as an antioxidant in the formula. It helps keep the oils and waxes stable.

Iron oxides and colour pigments: Give the rich, full colour with a soft matte finish. Even light pressure gives you a clear line. In Au Naturel, they create the warm nude brown shade.

Frequently asked questions

Which lipsticks does Au Naturel go with?

Au Naturel goes with almost all nude, beige, caramel and light brown lipsticks. Choose a lip liner that is the same depth as your lipstick or just slightly darker, so the line shows the least. For very light nudes, Pout is the better choice.

Can I use Au Naturel for a 90s lip?

Yes, that's exactly what a nude brown lip liner is loved for. Line the contour with Au Naturel, blend the line slightly inwards and fill in the centre with a lighter nude lipstick or a clear gloss. This gives you a full, warm lip.

What is the difference between Au Naturel and Malt?

Au Naturel is a neutral nude brown, Malt a warmer mauve brown. Malt gives a little more colour and depth, while Au Naturel stays closer to a natural lip colour. Both work well with warm, earthy make-up.

How do I stop the line from showing when my lipstick fades?

After lining, lightly fill in your whole lip with the pencil and only then apply your lipstick. That way, the colour fades evenly and no stray line is left behind. Blot with a tissue in between and touch up when needed.

Can I also use Au Naturel to correct my lip shape?

A nude brown line helps to accentuate or balance the shape of the lips a little, for example if your upper and lower lip differ in fullness. Draw the line exactly on or very slightly outside your natural contour and blend it well. Because Au Naturel is close to a natural lip colour, the effect stays subtle.
