I can recall a time, in my youth, when my lip liners were everything. Being a young broke teenager, I quickly realized that I needed to buy products that could serve a dual purpose and thus began my long-life love affair with the lip liner.
Why? Well for starters, lip liners are cheaper than lipsticks and if the consistency of the liner is smooth enough it can double as a lipstick. And so from that point forward I purchased a number of L’Oreal lip liners and said goodbye to lipsticks. However, over time it seemed that the formula of lip liners felt drier, stiffer and less malleable. So gone were the days where I could get away the double duty liner; until recently that is.
Charlotte Tilbury is a British celebrity makeup artist with a burgeoning makeup line. It took me a while to give her products a shot because aside from being pricey, they are not readily available in the United States. And so I decided to start small and purchase her famous lip liner. The question now was: which shade should I buy?
Since going to my local Sephora and Ulta stores was out of the question, I did my research on YouTube – of course. In the end, I went with the Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Re-Shape & Re-size Lip Liner in the shade Iconic Nude ($22). Talk about a life changer in regards to my makeup routine. The Charlotte Tilbury lip liners are so creamy, smooth and light that they can easily be used on their own. Not only are these velvety liners easy to apply, but the color selections are amazing. The nude liners, within the range, match just about every skin tone and they last for hours.
So if your looking for a liner that will revolutionize the way you line, shape and fill your lips; don’t hesitate – the Charlotte Tilbury lip liners are worth it!
