Youngblood Lip Liner Pencil Pout 1.1g

Lip liner in soft peachy pink for a natural lip contour

A lip liner is the small product that makes the difference between lipstick that looks neat and lipstick that bleeds after an hour. It defines the contour, shapes the lips and keeps the colour in place. A soft peachy pink is the most natural choice: it matches many people's own lip colour.

The Youngblood Lip Liner Pencil Pout is a creamy lip liner in soft peachy pink. The formula glides over the lips without skipping or dragging and draws a defined, even line with a soft matte finish. According to Youngblood, the pencil helps keep the colour in place for longer without drying out the lips. Vitamin E cares for your lips as you line them.

Colour: Pout is the lightest and softest peachy pink in the range, close to a natural lip colour. Rosé is pinker, Au Naturel a nude brown and Malt a warm mauve brown; for more colour, there are Plum, Truly Red and Pinot.

Active ingredients

The pencil contains a few ingredients that provide comfort and precision:

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. With a soft shade like Pout, they create an even, natural colour.

Frequently asked questions

Can I wear Pout without lipstick?

Yes. You can fill in your whole lip with Pout for a soft, matte nude look. For more shine, add a clear gloss on top. That way, one pencil gives you a natural lip colour.

How do I make my lips look fuller with a lip liner?

Draw the line exactly on or very slightly outside your natural lip line, especially at the centre of the upper and lower lip. Choose a shade close to your own lip colour, such as Pout, so the line doesn't stand out. Blend the line inwards with your finger.

What is the difference between Pout and Rosé?

Pout is a soft peachy pink with a warm undertone, Rosé is a brighter, cooler pink. Pout works best with peach and nude shades, Rosé with pink lipsticks. Not sure? Send us a message on WhatsApp with a photo taken in daylight.

How do I best sharpen the pencil?

Sharpen the pencil to a fine point with a sharp sharpener, such as the Duo Pencil Sharpener. If the pencil is warm, pop it in the fridge for a moment so the tip doesn't break. A sharp tip gives the most defined line.

Is Pout suitable as a first lip liner?

Yes, a soft, natural shade like Pout is a good place to start. The line barely shows, even while you're still practising, and it suits most of the nude and soft pink lipsticks you may already own. A small slip is quickly corrected with this light colour. Later, you can add a darker shade from the range for the evening.
