Clear lip liner

The difficulty in acquiring pencils was the correct selection of tone. It often happens that the shade of the contour means does not correspond to the shade of the lipstick. With the advent of transparent lip liners, this problem has been resolved. Almost every cosmetic company has released such a novelty in the line of lip products, which immediately appealed to the female audience.

The choice of transparent contours in the cosmetic market is unimaginably large and continues to grow. Wooden with traditional slate, plastic with automatic dosing, matte and mother of pearl, expensive and budget - there is money for every taste and for any purpose.

But it should be remembered that the texture of the contour and lipstick should be the same: in the case of applying a pearl contour, the lipstick should also be pearl and vice versa. The most successful use case is the selection of the so-called "tick" over the upper lip to adjust the shape. Such a mother-of-pearl transparent pencil was released by the company. Evaand costs about 100 rubles.
