Why it's great: If you're sick of lip colors that dry out your lips, then our reviewers suggest turning to this "creamy" lip liner. "It's a great lip liner that doesn't dry or crack, and my lips look great and plump after wearing it," says one reader. As another satisfied user sums it up: It "feels creamy, goes on smoothly, is very long-lasting and doesn't smudge."
Lip liners get a bad rap, probably because they make people think of that awful lined-lips-with-nude-lipstick look. But skipping a lip liner is a missed opportunity to make your lips look fuller and more defined. The best lip liners also keep your lipstick locked in place and prevents feathering. With so many options to choose from, it's easy to end up with a liner that doesn't deliver on its promises. So we narrowed them down to only the best lip liners -- as chosen by TotalBeauty readers -- to make you a believer.
