If you're worried about your color slipping off while you eat dinner or give bae a kiss, use lip liner to fill in your lips completely before going over them with lipstick. Lip liner is stickier (and often drier) than lipstick, so you won't see as much fading or feathering when you use it all over.
Should lip liner be lighter or darker than your lipstick?

Should lip liner be the same color as your lipstick?
If there's one rule we really recommend sticking to, it's to always choose a lip liner in the same color family as your lipstick.

How do you blend lip liner and lip gloss?
