5 Best Lip Pencils

Apr 30, 2020

Finding the right products for your makeup bag or kit often means a lot of trial and error. I've asked a group of pros for their favorite products! It's a comprehensive list of the best lip pencils, chosen by the pros, that any makeup lover would be happy to own!

The Top 5 Lip Pencils You Should Try

MAC Lip Liners

I’m not surprised that the pros' favorite lip pencils are from MAC Cosmetics. Why? Because they make a damn good product. MAC offers two lip liners: their Patentpolish Lip Pencil and their Lip Pencil. Let’s start with the Patentpolish.

It’s available in 14 shades and provides the comfort of a balm, the color and sheen of a gloss, and the precision of a lip pencil. No sharpening required either--it uses a twist-up applicator. Patentpolish is a must-have multitasking tool for your kit.

MAC’s Lip Pencil is no slouch either. It’s smooth, it’s creamy, and it was designed to shape, line, and fill the lips. Whether you’re outlining the lips or coloring in, MAC’s Lip Pencils get the job done beautifully.

Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat

Finishing a close second was Charlotte Tilbury’s amazing Lip Cheat liners. Her velvety liners are great because they go on smooth, they’re barely visible, and they last most of the day. And they do a fabulous job of reshaping and resizing lips.

Plus, they come in a wide range of shades and are a very affordable addition to your makeup bag.

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Lip Pencil

Taking the bronze in our Glossible poll is Urban Decay’s 24/7 Glide-On Lip Pencil. Let’s look at the pros, shall we?

Available in nearly 40 shades
Long-lasting and waterproof
Glides on smoothly
Primes and defines lips
Doesn’t feel dry or cakey
Made with nourishing and moisturizing Vitamin E, jojoba oil, and cottonseed oil
Very affordable

If we’re looking at pros, we should also look at the cons.

None?

No product is perfect, but Urban Decay’s 24/7 Glide-On Lip Pencil is pretty damn close.

The next two lip pencils finished with the same number of votes, so we’ll look at these alphabetically.

Bobbi Brown Wooden Lip Pencil

An iconic lip liner from an iconic makeup artist. Bobbi Brown’s wooden lip pencils create sharp lines for a sculpted look, and the velvety formula is designed to last all day long. Sounds like a win-win to me!

Make Up For Ever Aqua Lip

MUFE does it again! Their Aqua Lip liner and pencil is a must-have for your kit since its waterproof formula lasts all day long. Aqua Lip glides on easily and wears comfortably no matter what you put it through. It also does a beautiful job shaping and defining the lips.

Your Lips Are Going to Look Great!

All of these lip pencils and liners are superstars that should find a home in any makeup bag or professional makeup artist’s kit. Stay tuned, kitchen britches for the next post of pro favorites you should try!
