How to Match Lipstick and Liner Shades

Quick Answer

Match your lipstick and liner by selecting a liner that is one shade darker than your lipstick for definition, or choose a matching nude liner for a natural look.

Steps to Match Lipstick and Liner

1. Choose Your Lipstick Shade: Select your desired lipstick, such as Matt Medium Pink for a bold look or Nude Pink for a subtle finish. Consider your skin tone and occasion. For a natural look, nude pink works best; for more definition, go with matt medium pink.
2. Select a Complementary Liner: Pick a liner that is either one shade darker than your lipstick for definition or a matching nude shade for a seamless blend. The liner in the duo pencil is pre-matched for convenience. Avoid a liner that is too dark, as it can create an unnatural outline.
3. Apply the Liner First: Outline your lips with the liner pencil, starting from the cupid's bow and moving outward. This creates a base that prevents lipstick from bleeding. Common mistake: applying liner too heavily; use light strokes for a natural edge.
4. Fill in with Lipstick: Apply the lipstick within the lined area. Use the pencil's lipstick side for even coverage. Blot gently with a tissue for a matte finish. For longer wear, apply a thin layer, blot, then reapply.
5. Check and Blend: Check for any harsh lines by pressing your lips together. If needed, use a clean finger or brush to soften the edge where liner meets lipstick. This step ensures a unified look, especially with bold shades like matt medium pink.
