5 Ways to Wear Lip Liner: The Shine Cosmetics Guide
Lip liner has officially made its comeback and it’s more versatile than ever. Once thought of as just a tool to outline lips, lip liner is now a must-have product for anyone who loves a polished, put-together look. Shine Cosmetics offers a gorgeous range of creamy, long-lasting lip liners that pair perfectly with your favorite Lip Gloss, Lip Lasts, Lip Velvet, or even on their own.
Here are five creative and easy ways to wear Shine Cosmetics lip liners for every occasion:
1. Classic Definition
The most traditional way to wear lip liner is to outline your lips before applying your lip product. This prevents feathering, keeps your lip color in place all day, and adds a subtle boost of definition.
-
How to do it: Trace just along your natural lip line with a Shine lip liner that matches your lip product shade. Fill in lightly for even longer wear before applying your lip product.
Pro Tip: Choose a neutral or slightly deeper liner to give the illusion of fuller lips without overlining too much.
2. All-Over Lip Color
Who says lip liner is just for lining? The creamy formula of Shine’s lip liners makes them perfect for filling in the entire lip.
-
How to do it: Apply the liner all over your lips for a beautiful matte finish. Pair it with a Shine Lip Gloss on top for a hydrated, glossy look.
-
This trick is great for long school days or workdays since it acts like a stain and wears evenly.
3. Ombre Effect
The ombre lip trend is still going strong, and lip liner is the key to getting that soft gradient look.
-
How to do it: Start by lining the outer corners and edges of your lips with a slightly darker shade, then use a lighter lip last or gloss in the center. Blend with a fingertip or brush for a smooth transition.
-
This look creates instant dimension and makes lips appear fuller.
4. Subtle Overlining
A little overlining can make a big impact when done tastefully.
-
How to do it: Use a Shine lip liner that matches your natural lip color. Lightly trace just outside the cupid’s bow and the center of your bottom lip, then connect back to your natural lip line. Blend with a lip brush or finger for a seamless finish.
5. Lip Contouring
For makeup lovers who enjoy playing with shape, lip liner can double as a contouring tool.
-
How to do it: Use a slightly darker liner on the outer edges of the lips and a lighter shade or gloss in the center. This creates the illusion of plump, pillowy lips - no filler required.
Final Thoughts
Shine Cosmetics lip liners aren’t just an afterthought, they’re a makeup bag essential. Whether you’re going for a soft everyday look, a bold ombre, or a fully defined pout, these liners give you endless options to experiment and express yourself.
