Why it's great: One reader reports that this liner "made it through a root canal with minimal smudging." Now that's impressive. In addition to its fantastic staying power, this liner also "glides on smoothly" and deposits "a good amount of nicely pigmented color." The best part: There are so many shades to choose from.
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.
