These lip pencils are great for lining the lips before applying lipstick or lip gloss. They can also be used to fill in the lips entirely to extend the wear of any lip product applied over it. Makeup Artist Tip: Use lip pencil to line the lips to prevent lipstick feathering or bleeding. It is always safer to use a lip liner that is similar to the color of lipstick or lip gloss you will be applying. MADE IN GERMANY
