I never buy lip liners. Okay so that's a lie. I own about three or four. But I can never justify buying a lip liner when I could buy myself a lipstick instead. Unless you're wearing a bold shade, do you really need a lip liner?
The answer is yes.
Like I said, I've never really felt the need to purchase lip liners.My experience with lip liners up until this point in my life is that they often don't work and my beautiful red lipstick which I spend ages applying to get it just right ends up bleeding. UGH! So for the past few years I haven't really bothered with them, and have tried alternative methods to keep my lipstick from bleeding which have been semi-successful.
I had seen some amazing videos on Youtube earlier this year which showed me how much lip liners had transformed since 2010. Having watched other reviewers thoughts on lip liners from various brands I thought it was time to re-enter the world of lip liners this year, so with my Younique winnings I went and added three new lip liners to my personal collection.
Moonstruck Precision Pencils from T - B: Pompous, Posh & Pouty
'All eyes will be on your lips after you line up with our long-wearing, waterproof, smudge-proof Precision Pencil that makes your lips pop'.
Packaging
My one complaint, which is minimal and shouldn't be taken too serious as I haven't bought a new lip liner since 2010, is that these lip liners aren't mechanical and I will need to sharpen them as I wear down the tip. But seriously, that's my only complaint and that's just about preference.
Shades & Textures
There are five colours in the entire Moonstruck Precision collection which include a range of pinks, purples and reds. Oh and my all time favourite, 'Pouty'. Who doesn't love a good nude?
From L - R: Perky, Primal, Pouty, Posh & Pompous
Formula & Pigmentation
When I initially received these beauties in the mail, I raced home and swatched them on my wrist. BIG MISTAKE. The staying power of these lip liners is incredible. I've seen videos where lip liner swatches haven't budged, even with the aid of make-up remover. These babes had e scrubbing my wrist that night to get them off. The staying power of these beauties has blown my mind. What have I been missing out on all of these years?
Affordability & Retailers

Final Verdict
As I've been writing this post I've been sipping on coffee and eating lunch. How has the lip liner held up? It's as if I haven't had any coffee goodness or lunch at all. Ladies, this is the kind of support that my bold lipsticks need! Also, may I add, Pouty is extremely comfortable and non-drying on my lips. I like this shade so much that I'm not even going to bother wearing a lipstick over the top. You know these lip liners are amazing when they become the only lip product that you need to wear!- B xo
