Youngblood Lip Liner Pencil Malt 1.1g

Lip liner in warm mauve brown for depth and definition

If you love warm, earthy make-up, you probably own lipsticks in caramel, cinnamon or mauve. A lip liner in a warm mauve brown goes perfectly with them: it gives the lips depth and a clear shape, yet still looks soft. It's also a lovely colour for filling in the whole lip.

The Youngblood Lip Liner Pencil Malt is a creamy lip liner in warm mauve brown. The formula glides over the lips without dragging and gives a defined line with a soft matte finish. According to Youngblood, it helps keep your lip colour in place for longer without drying out the lips. Vitamin E keeps the lips supple.

Colour: Malt is a warm mauve brown, with more depth than the nude brown of Au Naturel and warmer than the cool Plum. It sits between the natural shades and the dark shades such as Pinot.

Active ingredients

Here's what's in the pencil and what it does:

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 Malt, they combine to create the warm mauve brown colour.

Frequently asked questions

Can I wear Malt as a lipstick?

Yes. Fill in your whole lip with Malt for a soft matte, warm lip colour. Add a nourishing balm or clear gloss if you want more comfort or shine. That way, one pencil gives you a complete look.

Which skin tone suits Malt?

Malt looks lovely on medium to deep skin, where it comes across as a natural, warm nude. On light skin, Malt gives more colour and depth, which is beautiful for a warm or autumn look. Not sure? We're happy to help you choose via WhatsApp.

What is the difference between Malt and Plum?

Malt is warm, with a brown base. Plum is cooler, with a mauve-purple tone. Choose Malt for warm, earthy make-up and Plum for pink, berry and mauve shades.

How do I make my lip colour last longer?

First line the contour with Malt, then lightly fill in your whole lip with the pencil. Apply your lipstick, blot with a tissue and apply a second layer. The pencil then forms a base for the colour to cling to.

Does Malt suit a natural daytime look?

Yes. On many skin tones, Malt looks like a warm, polished nude, especially if you blend the line softly and add a nourishing balm or clear gloss on top. For an even softer look, line only the contour and leave the centre of the lips bare. That makes Malt a good match for a calm look at the office or during the day.
