Why Lip Liner?
Lip liner has many uses beyond just making your lips look fuller; it also prevents lipstick from feathering, smearing, and fading. Lip liner serves the same purpose as a primer does for makeup and a base coat does for nail polish. True, it’s not absolutely necessary, but it does improve the lipstick’s appearance and prolong its wear. Lip liners can be used as a lip color on their own, though it works best when worn with a lipstick of the same shade.
