When used correctly, lip liners can beautifully give the illusion of prominent and defined lips. They could also help lip care products from feathering.
Celebrity makeup artist and beauty cosmetics founder Patrick Ta previously told Byrdie.com the essentials of using lip liners.
"Think of lip liner as a primer for the lips. It's a barrier to keep lipstick from bleeding onto other areas of the face and ensures that it will last longer," he mentioned.

With the 90's trend coming back in potentially full swing, minimalist makeup is also making a scene this 2021; hence the nude lip trend.
One way to perfectly rock this is by using nude lip liners by starting at the Cupid's bow and filling in the outers of the lips. Also, be careful not to overline the lips. This will be the guideline as you fill in the rest with your favorite lippie.
Another way to use lip liners is by applying them as the base for your lipstick, as it enhances the shade of your lip product. As mentioned above, this will prevent bleeding and feathering, making it appear smoother and vibrant.
While some enjoy gliding and the feeling of lipstick onto their skin, others prefer a light hint of color to their lips and use lip liners as a replacement for their lipstick.
