"I absolutely love this product! The lipliner is the perfect amount of creaminess and lasts a long time for a great price compared to high-end products. I've recommended it to many family and friends because it glides on beautifully and the shades are true to the advertisement. I'm definitely purchasing more!"

"I’m really impressed with this lip liner! The formula is smooth and glides on effortlessly. It has excellent color payoff—rich and pigmented—and it defines my lips perfectly without bleeding into wrinkles. It stays in place for hours without smudging, and it doesn’t dry out my lips. I highly recommend this fantastic lip liner!"

"These e.l.f. lip liners have become a staple in my collection! The packaging is sleek and the twist-up format is so convenient. The color range is extensive and the pigmentation is excellent. They last for hours without fading, making them an amazing base for lipstick. Affordable and high-quality—what more could you want?"

"I’ve finally found the perfect shade of rosy pink that works with my lipstick! It's easy to sharpen and apply, plus it has a great price. I love NYX products for their quality makeup at reasonable prices!"

"The NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Slim Lip Pencil in Mahogany has quickly become my go-to lip liner! The creamy texture glides on effortlessly, providing smooth, even coverage. It stays put for hours, resisting feathering and fading throughout the day, which makes touch-ups a rarity for me!"

"I'm absolutely obsessed with this liner! It’s such a pretty color that honestly suits any skin tone!"

"I find this red lip liner to be a fantastic value for the price. It stands toe-to-toe with big brands, and the vibrant, cool red color is stunning, fitting any skin tone. The formula is smooth and glides on effortlessly—application is a breeze! I'm particularly impressed by its staying power, as it lasts long even after eating and drinking, without any bleeding. This is a reliable and striking lip liner that I highly recommend!"

"I absolutely love this lip liner! It's perfect for both natural lining and overlining. I can even fill in my lips comfortably. The color is a perfect, slightly brown mauve that looks completely natural on my light olive skin. While I wish it had a longer-lasting formula, it is perfectly matte yet comfortable. I will definitely buy this again!"

"This lip liner is creamy and allows for easy application. The formula is just right—not too moist or dry—and it glides effortlessly with great color payoff. The shade is the perfect natural pinkish mauve for my fair-medium skin tone. I always keep at least two on hand! I recently ordered a two-pack and noticed the new formula feels drier and heavier, but it still performs well and doesn't bleed into my fine lines, even after eating pizza!"

"I absolutely love the Revlon ColorStay Lip Liner! It glides on smoothly and provides great precision, making it easy to create clean, defined lines around my lips. The formula is rich and creamy, but it doesn't feel too heavy or dry like other liners. What stands out is how long-lasting it is, staying put for hours without smudging or fading, even after eating and drinking. The pigmentation is excellent, and it gives my lips a defined look without feeling uncomfortable. Overall, this lip liner is a great addition to my makeup routine, and I highly recommend it!"

"I've been using this liner for so many years. I love the color because it blends nicely with both deep reds and more natural shades. It goes on really smoothly and I've never had issues with it bleeding or smudging. I keep this liner in my purse because of the built-in sharpener, making reapplication super easy. The color stays on so well that often my lipstick will be long gone but the liner remains, giving an almost lip stain effect all night."

"I recently tried the ColorStay lip liners and I'm impressed with the range of colors and how they last longer than typical lip liners. I bought a nice neutral shade that glides on easily, although I did notice it's a bit fragile—a piece broke off the first time I used it. Still, the color is beautiful and it performs well overall."

“I was skeptical about this deal, but I'm thrilled to say that these pencils are fantastic! The longest lip liners I’ve ever purchased, and they go on so creamy without any issues. For the price of one high-end lip liner, I got this entire set!”

“These lip liners are incredibly creamy and smooth. I love the variety I received, especially the browns. I’ve even shared some with my coworkers because they liked them so much. I definitely plan on ordering more!”

“I ordered these a while back and I'm still using them! The quality is impressive, and they apply so smoothly without smudging easily. What an amazing deal; I highly recommend them!”

"As a nurse, I need something quick and easy that stays on all day. This product does exactly that! I love the color; it keeps my lips hydrated without looking dry. I'm definitely going to gift this to my fellow nurses!"

"I really wanted to like this lip stain, but the formula is tricky to use. It doesn't apply smoothly, and I often miss spots. Even when I prep my lips, it's hit or miss on whether it applies evenly. I found a workaround using Vaseline to prevent staining my teeth, but it still doesn't give me the results I want."

"I was skeptical at first, but after trying the shade Hey-zel, I have zero regrets! The application was easy, and while the formula is a bit splotchy, it peeled off perfectly. I’m really impressed and plan to try more colors!"

"I find the Wet n Wild Color Icon Lip Liner Pencil in Brandy Wine to be an incredible find for any makeup enthusiast on a budget. It glides on smoothly with a creamy formula, allowing for precise lip definition. The long-lasting effect keeps my lip color vibrant throughout the day, and I love that it's cruelty-free. The Brandy Wine shade is such a rich burgundy, adding warmth to various lip colors."

"I was impressed with this lip liner after reading the glowing reviews. It’s creamy, pigmented, and long-lasting, which is fantastic for the price. The Chestnut shade complements my medium skin tone beautifully, perfect for both natural and dramatic looks. It doesn't dry out my lips and lasts for hours, making it a staple in my makeup routine."

"I purchased two Wet & Wild liners to compare, and while I wasn’t a fan of the Fab Fuchsia due to its cheap neon vibe, the 715 Plumberry is a lovely mauve that lasts for hours. It’s definitely a great product for the price and I’ll be buying it again!"

"I was thrilled to receive exactly what I selected and I find the quality of the liners amazing."

"I decided to give these a shot because they were inexpensive. While many colors look similar, they turned out to be decent liners for the price."

"I love the color variety and although I expected them to be larger, the quality is nice and they are easy to apply. They’ve lasted a few months without any weird smell."

“These lipliners are perfect! I was searching for high-quality dupes to Kylie Jenner’s lip kits, and these exceeded my expectations. The price is fantastic, and the variety of pinks and reds is great. I was pleasantly surprised by how soft they are. Long-lasting too!”

“I absolutely love these lip pencils! The application is smooth, and the colors hold up incredibly well. They provide great value for the money, so I just ordered the B set.”

“I was a bit disappointed as I didn’t know a more subdued color collection was available. I will only use two colors from the set I purchased.”

"I recently bought the Italia Deluxe 12pc Ultra Fine Lip Liner set and I'm absolutely thrilled with the results! The colors are vibrant and the pigmentation is impressive, especially for the price. Each liner glides smoothly on the lips, making it easy to outline or fill in for a matte lip look. The range of colors is fantastic—there's a shade for every mood, from subtle nudes to bold reds. For the price, you're getting a lot of quality, which is rare with affordable makeup. Highly recommended for anyone looking to expand their lip liner collection without breaking the bank!"

"I love these lip liners! I couldn't believe they cost so little. They come in 12 lovely colors, and they apply so nicely. Best lip liners I've ever had!"

"I actually purchased these to use as both eyeliner and lip liners, and they work great for both! They are buttery soft and glide on smoothly. I used the mauve to line my lips and filled in a bit, topping it with my favorite creamy lipstick. They blended so well together and looked so natural. Well worth the money!"
