8. Lipliner
Compared to the other types of lip makeup products, this one is still quite common. A lip liner is used for outlining your lips before filling your lips with lipstick to help you with a smudge-free and proper application of the latter. First, line your lips with a lip liner, and then simply apply your lipstick. But be sure to use a shade close to your lipstick because if you use a dark shade of lip liner pencil and a light shade of lipstick, then it isn’t going to look extremely weird and improper.
