Is lip liner a necessity or an extra in your beauty routine?
Definitely an extra for me as I thankfully don’t experience feathering/bleeding very often!

I rarely ever use lip liner because my favorite matte lipsticks don’t bleed on me. I do use one with red lipstick, though. And when I do use a lip liner, it must blend in perfectly with the lipstick because I don’t like when the line shows.
Absolutely a necessity for me, for a number of reasons! First of all, it makes sure that I have an even lip line and prevents bleeding. I have a lot of lipsticks that like to migrate, and lipliner helps set the boundaries and means I don’t need to put lipstick right on the edge of my lip sometimes. Also, I like the look of a slightly darker lipliner than my lipstick. Not all the time! But enough that it’s fun for emphasis every now and again.
Lip pencils really help lip products to last but I tend to always skip this step. Now I have so many lip liners just waiting to used. Will try harder to incorporate them into my makeup routine.
Almost always a necessity unless I’m wearing a full coverage, highly pigmented lipstick! As I have lip ridges that extend beyond the vermilion in a rather awkward way, plus the right side of my lips is NOTICEABLY fuller than the left side, I need a liner to get a more even and “normal” appearing mouth! It used to be. At least before a bad TIA 16 years back that laid me up in the hospital for 4 days.
