<ul class="summary-list"><li><strong>Lip liner is like lipstick's little helper - it helps color last longer while also defining the contours of your mouth.</strong></li><li><strong> A liner in a neutral-to-you color also allows you to slightly overline while still looking natural so you can fake the appearance of fuller lips.</strong></li><li><strong><a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=EHFxW6yx8Uo&amp;mid=2417&amp;u1=biipgf_082919_best-lip-liners&amp;murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sephora.com%2Fproduct%2Fthe-lip-pencil-P416215" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Lip Pencil from Bite Beauty</a> earns our top spot because of its comfortable, creamy formula with good-for-you ingredients and an impressive color selection.</strong></li></ul><p>Lip liner might not be considered essential in the same way as mascara or lip balm for some, but nonetheless, it's a fantastic addition to any makeup lover's routine. </p><p>There are myriad benefits to the stuff, especially for frequent lipstick wearers.

Matching liner to your lipstick also helps ensure that the color fades evenly throughout the day, and prevents it from disappearing the second your lips touch your coffee cup. </p><p>Lip liner can even be used in place of a lipstick or a stain for those who prefer a lightweight feel; they're drier than traditional lipsticks so they can cling to lips like second skin.</p><p>These five top lip liners range from bold and colorful to subtle and nude; there's even a plumping option for those looking to amp up their pout without fillers.  </p><h2>Here are the best lip liners you can buy:</h2><ul class="summary-list"><li><strong>Best overall: <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=EHFxW6yx8Uo&amp;mid=2417&amp;u1=biipgf_082919_best-lip-liners&amp;murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sephora.com%2Fproduct%2Fthe-lip-pencil-P416215" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bite Beauty The Lip Pencil</a></strong></li><li><strong>Best plumping: <a href="http://Ulta.ztk5.net/c/196318/164999/3037?subId1=biipgf_082919_best-lip-liners&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ulta.com%2Fplumpline-lip-liner%3FproductId%3DxlsImpprod15281043%26AID%3D165159%26PID%3D10078%26CID%3Daf_165159_10078_%26clickId%3D1vJ1vsUP3xyJW3B0MvSyQWlBUklX2eX%253AXS4oUA0%26irgwc%3D1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Buxom Plumpline Lip Liner</a></strong></li><li><strong>Best drugstore: <a href="http://Ulta.ztk5.net/c/196318/164999/3037?subId1=biipgf_082919_best-lip-liners&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ulta.com%2Fslim-lip-pencil%3FproductId%3DxlsImpprod2150078" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NYX Slim Lip Pencil</a></strong></li><li><strong>Best waterproof: <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=EHFxW6yx8Uo&amp;mid=2417&amp;u1=biipgf_082919_best-lip-liners&amp;murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sephora.com%2Fproduct%2Faqua-lip-waterproof-lipliner-pencil-P183919" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Make Up For Ever Aqua Lip Waterproof Lip Liner</a></strong></li><li><strong>Best neutral: <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=EHFxW6yx8Uo&amp;mid=2417&amp;u1=biipgf_082919_best-lip-liners&amp;murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sephora.com%2Fproduct%2Flip-cheat-lip-liner-P433516" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Lip Liner</a></strong></li></ul><p class="tagline"><p><a href="http://e.businessinsider.com/join/ci/insider-picks">Subscribe to our newsletter.</a><br><br>Find all the best offers at our <a href="https://coupons.businessinsider.com/">Coupons page</a>.<br><br>Disclosure: This post is brought to you by the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/insiderpicks">Insider Picks</a> team.

While I now have <a href="https://www.insider.com/dermatologist-told-me-everything-im-doing-wrong-in-skincare-routine-2020-7">a routine that works for me</a> — <a href="https://goto.target.com/c/196318/81938/2092?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.target.com%2Fp%2Fpond-39-s-cold-cream-make-up-remover-deep-cleanser-6-1oz%2F-%2FA-11223385" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">Pond's Cold Cream</a> followed by micellar water, both of which I remove with a reusable towel — I was intrigued by two new makeup removers released by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDHQbU57NZilrhbuZNbQcRA">YouTuber Patrick Starrr's</a> new beauty brand, <a href="https://www.onesizebeauty.com/">ONE/SIZE</a>.</p><p>Here's what I thought about the beauty wipes and makeup-dissolving mist, which removed some of my longest-lasting makeup with a single swipe.</p><p><strong><em>Editor's note: </em></strong><em>ONE/SIZE provided Insider with the Go Off makeup-dissolving mist</em><em> and makeup-removing wipes for <keyword id="45374" type="CITY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Review">review</keyword>, which usually retail for a combined $39.</em></p><h2>I tested both products from ONE/SIZE, and was most impressed by the Go Off makeup-dissolving mist</h2><p>After receiving samples of both products from ONE/SIZE in the mail, I was most eager to try the brand's Go Off makeup-dissolving mist. Made with jojoba and rosehip oils, <a href="https://shop-links.co/1713730150143199646">the spray retails for $24</a> and, as Starrr said in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=987&amp;v=l79Q9DKUSaM&amp;feature=emb_logoemb_logo">a video revealing the brand</a> earlier in July, it "dissolves makeup on contact."</p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/l79Q9DKUSaM" frameborder="0"></iframe><p>For testing purposes, I applied a full-face of makeup in the morning so that I could later remove it with the spray at night. My completed look included concealer, long-wearing foundation, blush, <a href="https://www.insider.com/maybelline-liquid-lipstick-review-and-photos-2020-6">lipstick</a>, eyebrow gel, black eyeliner, and waterproof mascara.</p><p><div type="image" title="one size beauty brand review" height="1454" width="1090" msid="77231002" hostid="261"></div></p><p>On the brand's website, the Go Off spray is described as a "super-fine mist" that "doesn't leave skin feeling tight or dry." After trying the product myself, I can attest to that description.</p><p>First, I sprayed the mist (which has a slightly rosy scent) directly onto my face, and was impressed by how light and airy it felt on my skin. After the product settled, my face quickly felt oily, and I could see some makeup — like my eyeliner — start to dissolve. As I wiped off my foundation, I was left with shiny skin that felt smooth and moisturized, albeit a bit greasy.</p><p>That's when I decided to spray a bit of the product directly onto a reusable makeup cloth so that I could remove my eye makeup. With one swipe, almost all of my eyeliner and a bit of mascara came off.</p><p><div type="image" title="patrick starrr makeup removers" height="900" width="1200" msid="77231004" hostid="261"></div></p><p>The next day, I used the brand's Go Off makeup-removing wipes, <a href="https://shop-links.co/1713730206755466456">which retail for $15</a>.</p><p>While I thought the wipes worked well, I can't say I'd recommend them to the everyday makeup wearer.</p><p>The wipes are larger than most others on the market — almost like two standard wipes sewn together. In my experience, I hardly needed more than half of one wipe to remove all of my makeup, and it felt like a waste to throw the rest away unused. That being said, I stopped using makeup wipes altogether about a year ago, as I personally feel there are more environmentally friendly options out there.</p><p><div type="image" title="one size makeup wipes" height="1794" width="2394" msid="77231006" hostid="261"></div></p><p>In my opinion, those interested in trying products from ONE/SIZE should go with the brand's makeup-dissolving mist.</p><p>I found that the spray removed even my most stubborn makeup, and did so in a quick and effortless way. Some might take issue with how moisturizing the product is — as it can leave skin feeling a bit greasy afterwards — but I found that it ultimately dried down nicely. And I'm happy to have another makeup-removing option for my laziest days.</p><ul class="read-more-links"><li>Read more:</li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/maybelline-liquid-lipstick-review-and-photos-2020-6">The best liquid lipstick on the market only costs $9 and it lasts all day</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/celebrities-without-makeup-while-social-distancing-2020-3">Celebrities are ditching makeup while social distancing, and they look amazing</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/milk-makeup-melatonin-serum-lip-mask-review">I tried melatonin-infused beauty products, and they made my skin look less irritated than it's been in weeks</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/charlotte-tilbury-new-makeup-review-2020-1">I tried Charlotte Tilbury's new maroon eye pencil, and now I want to ditch black liquid eyeliner completely</a></li><li> </li><li><em>This is an opinion column.

That being said, I've tried more lip products than I can count over the years, and am fairly selective about which lipsticks I keep on hand.</p><p>Out of my entire collection, I'd argue that <a href="https://www.maybelline.com/lip-makeup/lipstick/superstay-matte-ink-liquid-lipstick">Maybelline's SuperStay Matte Ink Liquid Lipsticks</a> are some of the best you can buy.</p><h2>In my experience, I've found that Maybelline's SuperStay Matte Ink Liquid Lipsticks are brightly pigmented and last all day</h2><p>I first tried Maybelline's liquid lipsticks in 2018 after one was given to me by a friend. I immediately became a fan and purchased four more from a local drugstore.</p><p>Out of the shades I own, I'm personally a big fan of <a href="https://www.target.com/p/maybelline-superstay-matte-ink-liquid-lipstick-seductress-0-17-fl-oz/-/A-52446984">Seductress</a> — a matte peach color — and find that I often wear it once or twice a week.</p><p><div type="image" title="maybelline lipstick review" height="1457" width="1090" msid="76719798" hostid="261"></div></p><p>Not only is this lipstick shade extremely pigmented, but I've also found it lasts for hours. I recently applied the product around 8 a.m. while getting ready for work. Hours later, around 12:30 p.m., I ate pizza for lunch while outside in particularly hot weather. </p><p>Whereas most lipsticks would separate and smudge after coming in contact with greasy food and summer heat, I found that Maybelline's SuperStay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick looked almost the same on my lips as it did when I first applied it.</p><p>Sure, there was a tiny bit of separation where my lips meet, but the cracks were hardly noticeable and could easily be fixed with a quick touch-up.</p><p><div type="image" title="lipstick maybelline" height="2048" width="2048" msid="76719800" hostid="261"></div></p><h2>There are tons of colors to choose from, ranging from light pinks to bold blues </h2><p>At the time of writing, Maybelline offers more than 35 shades of its Matte Ink Liquid Lipsticks on its website, not including limited-edition colors. Of course there are staple shades, like red and burgundy, but there are also more vibrant options like purple and blue.</p><p>Though I haven't tried all 35 from the collection, I am a fan of each shade I own.

While this might bother some, I personally prefer liquid lipsticks that feel slightly tacky rather than those that are dry, which I've experienced with most others on the market. </p><p><div type="image" title="maybelline red lipstick" height="1400" width="1867" msid="76719806" hostid="261"></div></p><p>I also really appreciate the lipstick's applicator, which is rounded with a pointed tip that's perfect for lining your lips. The applicator is also soft and hollow in the middle, which stores extra product so that you can spread an even amount of lipstick across your mouth. </p><h2>Maybelline's liquid lipsticks from the SuperStay range typically cost around $9.50</h2><p>At the time of writing, you can purchase the lipsticks both <a href="https://www.maybelline.com/lip-makeup/lipstick/superstay-matte-ink-liquid-lipstick">online from Maybelline</a>, and at retailers like <a href="https://goto.target.com/c/196318/81938/2092?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.target.com%2Fp%2Fmaybelline-super-stay-matte-ink-lip-color-0-17-fl-oz%2F-%2FA-52240818" rel="nofollow sponsored">Target</a>, <a href="https://go.skimresources.com?id=35871X943606&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cvs.com%2Fshop%2Fmaybelline-new-york-superstay-matte-ink-liquid-lipstick-prodid-1420045-1420045" rel="nofollow sponsored">CVS</a>, and <a href="https://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/6415797/type/dlg/https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/maybelline-superstay-matte-ink-city-edition-liquid-lipstick-makeup/ID=prod6395917-product?skuId=sku6325269" rel="nofollow sponsored">Walgreens</a>.

Still, he noted that the key to using such products in a "safe and effective" way is to use them "properly."</p><p>"The sonic cleansing technologies that most of these brushes use make them gentle on the skin, different from the effects of scrubs or loofahs, which can be much more harsh," he said.</p><p>If you regularly use an electronic brush, or are looking to incorporate a similar tool into your routine, Zeichner said you can use the tools with any face wash you prefer. Similarly, he recommends choosing a brush with bristles that will suit your skin type.</p><p>"Many brushes have different heads that make them better to treat different skin conditions: softer ones for dry or sensitive skin, and firmer ones for oily skin," he said. </p><h2>Exfoliating less often than you wash your face is key for healthy skin</h2><p>According to Leffell, people should only be washing their face once or twice a day, "depending on their use of makeup." He also recommends that they use an undyed washcloth made from cotton, or a similar tool that's "not too aggressive," to exfoliate.</p><p>"Definitely do not exfoliate too frequently," he added. "Depending on the nature of a person's skin and skin-care regimens, no more than once or twice a week is probably sufficient. One doesn't have to exfoliate skin as if they were sanding a piece of wood!"</p><p>"It's important to remember that our skin is a remarkable, self-sustaining organ," Leffell added. "The cells are replaced about every four weeks, and gentle washing with occasional exfoliation is all that is needed. Of course, individual needs may vary, so people should experiment to find the best regimen that works for them."</p><p>Representatives for Clarisonic and L'Oréal did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.</p><ul class="read-more-links"><li>Read more:</li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/skin-care-brand-clarisonic-is-shutting-down-2020-7">Skin-care brand Clarisonic is shutting down after more than 10 years in business, and now all of its products are 50% off</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/carbon-theory-review-charcoal-tea-tree-oil">This facial scrub is the only skincare product that helps me keep my hormonal acne under control</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/acne-products-that-work">11 bestselling acne products that actually work, according to thousands of consumer reviews</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/charlotte-tilbury-magic-cream-review">Is Charlotte Tilbury's cult-favorite Magic Cream moisturizer worth $100?

In fact, liquid eyeliners have advanced by leaps and bounds over the past few years. Gone are the days of flimsy paintbrush-like applicators and runny pigments. Now, the majority of liners come with marker-like tips, making it much easier to create clean, crisp lines. The formulations are much sturdier, which means no runny black tears À la Lauren Conrad on "</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Hills."</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">All that said, there are a few tricks you want to keep in mind when it comes to working with liquids. The most important? Don't try to make one, clean line in one swipe - it's pretty much impossible. Instead, apply your line in short strokes, and go slowly. This is a marathon - not a sprint. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another tip? If you're creating a cat-eye with liquid eyeliner, apply to each eye in tandem, not one at a time. So draw the flick on each eye to make sure they're even, and then fill in each line over the lid. That way, it's easier to fix if things get messed up. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But all of these tips are totally worthless if you don't have the right liner in your makeup bag. So which one reigns supreme? </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Read on for our top picks in every category. But remember these two things - practice makes perfect, and don't attempt liquid liner if you're in a rush.  </span></p><h3><strong>Here are the best liquid eyeliners you can buy:</strong></h3><ul class="summary-list"><li>The best liquid eyeliner overall: <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=EHFxW6yx8Uo&amp;mid=2417&amp;u1=biipgf041218bestliquideyeliner&amp;murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sephora.com%2Fproduct%2Fstay-all-day-waterproof-liquid-eye-liner-P253818" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Liner</a></li><li>The best liquid eyeliner for newbies: <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=EHFxW6yx8Uo&amp;mid=2417&amp;u1=biipgf041218bestliquideyeliner&amp;murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sephora.com%2Fproduct%2Fgrandi-ocirc-se-bendable-eyeliner-P411510" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lancôme Grandiôse Bendable Liquid Liner</a></li><li>The best liquid eyeliner for pros: <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=EHFxW6yx8Uo&amp;mid=1237&amp;u1=biipgf041218bestliquideyeliner&amp;murl=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.nordstrom.com%2Fs%2Fcharlotte-tilbury-the-feline-flick-quick-fine-line-shodo-pen%2F3849007%3Forigin%3DproductBrandLink%26top%3D72%26flexi%3D60194950_60194953" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Charlotte Tilbury The Feline Flick</a></li><li>The best innovative liquid eyeliner: <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=EHFxW6yx8Uo&amp;mid=2417&amp;u1=biipgf041218bestliquideyeliner&amp;murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sephora.com%2Fproduct%2Fauto-graphique-eyeliner-P394173%3Ficid2%3Duse%2520it%2520with%3Ap394173" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Surratt Beauty Auto-Graphique Eyeliner</a></li><li>The best drugstore liquid eyeliner: <a href="https://amzn.to/2GUdqvS" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Milani Eye Tech Extreme Liquid Liner</a></li></ul><p><em>Updated 6/25/19 by Jada Wong: Updated copy, formatting, links, and prices.</em></p><h3><strong>Keep reading to learn more about our picks.</strong></h3><p class="tagline"><p><a href="http://e.businessinsider.com/join/ci/insider-picks">Subscribe to our newsletter.</a><br><br>Find all the best offers at our <a href="https://coupons.businessinsider.com/">Coupons page</a>.<br><br>Disclosure: This post is brought to you by the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/insiderpicks">Insider Picks</a> team.
