Why it's great: Fans of Urban Decay's 24/7 eyeliner turn to 24/7 Glide-On Lip Pencil to keep their lipstick looking fresh all day. Many reviewers call out Ozone, a colorless shade that prevents feathering for any lip color, as a favorite. One reader has tried several "other so-called clear lip pencils that professed to stop feathering and bleeding of lip products" and has "never been satisfied -- until now! This thing is fabulous!" The consensus: "This product is worth every dime."
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.
