My most-used lipliners.


I think these 3 colours are a must have for anyone who wears lipstick! You can easily match them with a variety of colours and finishes & they're really good quality to say that they're drugstore brands.

(going from bottom to top)

Red. I use Rimmel Exaggerate in 'Red Diva'- this is such a good match for Mac's Russian Red lipstick (as I said in my previous post) as this lipliner is a lovely blue toned red. The consistency is so creamy when you apply it, but can become drying if you're applying all over your lips- as a lot of lipliners would, I'm not complaining too much about that. The packaging claims that this is a 'full colour lipliner'- it does exactly what it says on the box (or tube)- definitely one of the most pigmented red liners I have owned. Rimmel are amazing for longlasting lip products and this one does not dissapoint at all, I've found that I don't need to reapply after eating with this one.

Dark red/Berry. I use Rimmel Lasting Finish 1000 kisses in 'Wine'- I always pair this liner with Mac's Diva because they're essentially dupes for eachother. Again, this can also be drying if you apply a large amount to cover your lips, so best to apply a lipbalm if you do do this. This lipliner can smudge quite easily because of the thick consistency but I always apply a lipstick to keep this at bay.

Nude. I use Maybelline ColourSensational in 'Sweet Pink'- I think you can wear a nude lipliner with any colour lipstick, personally I use this specific one with Mac's Creme Cup or Revlon Colourburst Matte Balm in 'Shameless'. I'd say this liner has a good staying power and you can wear it for quite a while without fading. The only complaint I have is the scent, it has quite a sickly acidic smell to it, but I'd just advise checking this out before you buy.
