If you’re pretty minimalist with your everyday makeup like me (i.e. base, mascara, lipstick, and the occasional swipe of blush), a lip liner may not seem like a total necessity. While, sure, it may not be the first thing you think of applying when you’re in a rush to get out the door, a good lip liner just has a way of making you look that much more put together. When applied correctly, it can help define the shape of your lip, give it a fuller look, or act as a base to keep your lipstick from fading throughout the day. If you’re looking for a good option that won’t break the bank and offers a wide range of shades (including one that shoppers swear gives you the perfect “my lips but better” look), we’ve got just the thing.
The Anastasia Beverly Hills Long-Lasting Velvety-Matte Lip Liner is a highly-rated lip liner with a near 5-star rating on Sephora. It’s described as a full-pigment pencil that will help shape and contour the lips “with precision.” It comes in over 20 colors, and was formulated to last all day.
Now, if you’re like me and have seen and tried nearly everything, many lip products will claim to last but will (sadly) fade after an hour. But that doesn’t seem to be the case with this ABH liner.
“It actually lasts!” wrote one shopper. “I have spent way too much money trying to find a lip liner that actually stays on for at least longer than an hour or two! This one stayed on so well, even when I added Chapstick or lipgloss. I could still see it on after my shower! I’ve found ‘The One’!”
Another reviewer echoed their comments writing, “Best quality lip liner. Switched from MAC. While MAC is high quality too, Anastasia stays on long and has great texture. The colors are potent and it lines perfectly.”
One shopper even said these were highly underrated, given how well these work. “Ugh these lip pencils are sooooooo underrated!” they wrote. “They’re super long lasting, but go on so smoothly. You have time to blend them out before they set down, unlike some other ones. Probably my favorite liner formula out there.”
Lastly, one reviewer who raved over it having the best “my lips but better” shade wrote, “Can I live in this lip liner forever?! I’ve been on an endless search for my ‘my lips but better’ lip liner shade. Some have come close, but they didn’t quite pick up the slight pink in my brown lips. Well, Chai is it, honey! I will live and die in Chai. ‘Bout to buy 10 more so I never run out! LOVE.”
The Anastasia Beverly Hills Long-Lasting Velvety-Matte Lip Liner is considered a premium lip product thanks to it being from the Hollywood’s favorite beauty brand. However, it’s fairly affordable at just $22 a piece. Other high-end lip liners tend to cost closer to $35 to $40. Since these are known for being long-lasting, you likely won’t have to purchase these too often. Consider this an amazing value. So, be sure to snag one at Sephora today.
