Are you looking for the perfect combination for your lips? Matching lipsticks and lip pencils isn't always easy, but with a few little tricks you can achieve the perfect make-up!

Sometimes lipstick is not enough for perfect lip make-up... lip pencils are also needed. Often overlooked or underestimated, lip pencils are actually irreplaceable allies in enhancing our make-up. And once you've found the perfect combination of lipstick and pencil, you're done!

But what are the uses of lip pencils? First of all, it is a product that can enhance the lip line and redefine the edge of the lips, correcting small defects and giving a more defined shape. It also makes it possible to reach the corners of the mouth that are difficult to make up and improves the performance of the lipstick, both in terms of finish and duration.

Tips&Tricks for choosing the perfect lip pencil

Even with lip pencils, however, you can run into a little disaster! A wrong colour, an unsuitable texture and your make-up will no longer perform as well. Here are a few tips and tricks to help you choose your lip pencil.

• Prepare your lips with a nude pencil

It's a little-known but popular trick among beauty addicts because it creates a lighter, more even-toned base that will make your chosen lipstick shade seem even more vibrant.

• Choose a coloured pencil to match your lipstick.

If you want to outline your lips and define their edges, look for a lip pencil that is very similar (if not perfectly the same) as your lipstick. Avoid excessive contrasts, unless you want to achieve an ombré effect: in this case, remember to blend the colour.

• Colour all lips

The lip pencil can be used not only to outline the lip contour, but also to colour the entire lip surface. With this technique the lips will look much smoother and more even. In addition, filling in the lips completely with the pigments of the pencil makes any other product applied afterwards (such as lipstick) last much longer.
