10 Lip Liners for a Defined and Chic Pout

Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillowtalk liner is a gateway to loving liner for many people and for good reason. A true pink nude, the liner is equally as fab as its corresponding lipstick (and other products in the collection) because it defines, without being overly bold. The waxy consistency of this formula also lasts quite well.

For a pout that gives a little ooph and pairs well with gloss, go for Make Up Forevers Wherever Walnut. Natural but better.

Creamy and defining, this long-lasting but not waxy set of liners stay true to the Jones Road ethos. There’s a shade that enhances just about everyone’s lips and they’re good enough to wear on their own.

When reaching for a liner to sculpt and define a bold lip, I always suggest Lisa Eldridge (for both). Her enhancing and long-wearing lip formulas complement the many bold, bright, and unique shades in her lipstick collection, making them look all the more sophisticated and elevated—and last longer too.

For someone whose just looking to give a touch of enhancement to their pout and has a fairly warm complexion, Colourpop makes a fantastic option.

90s nude lip lovers, this one is for you. Not only is the lip brush on the Chanel Longwear Lip Pencil best in class, but this specific hue is rumored to be used by Lily Rose Depp to create the ultimate pouty, pout.

For those who are partial to a wash of berry on the lips, Monika Blunder’s smudge resistant formulation is fantastic.

Maybe you just want to keep your lipstick from bleeding. If so, Hermes has a wonderful clear option that doesn’t scrimp on the luxury.

When contouring one’s mouth, why not opt for a true cool toned beigy-brown? Blend with just about any color (or just your natural lips!) for dimension and definition.
