Defined And Fuller: 10 Best Lip Liners We Swear By

We're huge fans of Kay Beauty and all that they do, especially their lip products. The Kay Beauty action lip liner comes in nine shades that cater to pretty much all basic lipstick colour palates making it super easy to stock up and mix and match with various lipstick shades. It's designed to contour and define your lips while the crayon formula helps with long stay giving a great matte finish.

If you're looking for a decent budget option then check out Insight's lip liners that are all under 80 bucks! They're pigmented, glide on easily however only come in 5 colours in the red/pink palette. It promises 8 hours of wear and is enriched with vitamin E which helps with nourishment too.  

No brand like Nykaa when it comes to budget products that really really slap. The rich pigment, the smooth texture and the way it glides on and also lasts long. All boxes checked, nothing not to love.

Sugar Cosmetics' Lipping On The Edge Lip Liner range has eight beautiful nude and berry shades that would work great for Indian skin tones. They claim to be super pigmented and multiple reviews attest the same. You don't have to worry about your lipstick feathering or bleeding as these are smear-proof, water resistant and have a 10-hour wear gel formula, which is matte but still comfortable on the lips.

PAC Lip Pencils are so good and almost always out of stock! It's a lightweight, one swipe formula that users seem to love. This one isn't smudge-proof but still stays for long hours. If you're looking for a good quality product for a decent price we'd highly suggest to go with this one.

This INR 59 (discounted price) lip liner is extremely nourishing and moisturising. Swiss Beauty is famous for its matte lipsticks, but this bold matte lip liner with a smudge-free, waterproof formula is definitely another gem of theirs and literally a steal! The liner is extremely pigmented and comes in a lot of shades, so everyone can find something for themselves, it glides on really smoothly and is highly pigmented. The only feedback we have on this product is that it transfers a little.

M.A.C. always knocks out of the park, and this liner is no different. This lip filler comes in a range of shades and offers a smooth-creamy texture, great for outlining your lips. We are especially huge fans of its application, which is really precise, smooth, and quick. Although it is slightly on the pricier side, it will last you forever and the shades are very nuanced and universal.

In my opinion, Huda Beauty does the best lip liners, take it from a Gen-Z who has been hoarding beauty products for years and can't resist buying every other hyped beauty thing on the block. The formula is velvety, long-lasting, and doesn't dry out my lips, which most lip liners tend to day with their chalky finish. Brownie points to the retractable design that comes with a tiny sharpener and saves you from the mess of pencil shavings.

This one from e.l.f comes with a unique triangular shape that helps make precise lines to sculpt the lips and doubles up as a lip colour for filling the lip contour. It's super beginner friendly and lets you have complete control of the pencil tip to line your lips with ease. Thumbs up to the sleek black packaging that looks super clean and classy.

I have pigmented lips, and a lip liner that stays on through the day is important, at least for days when an important event is happening and I wouldn't have the time to reapply my lipstick or lip liner. In that situation, this Kiko one comes in very handy. It stays on the whole day (perfect to pair with your long-lasting mattes for extra precision) and is well pigmented. The only downside is the limited availability of shades, but if you like these, the splurge is justified.
