I absolutely loveeeee these lip liners! They are soft and pigmented and you can either use them with a lipstick or gloss or by itself. You can even color your whole lip with it to give you the most amazing matte lips ever! Like i've used it on the pic. I created an ombre with the "berry" and a soft pink lipstick. It beats all the mattefying your lipstick with powder hands down and its super fast.

I always carry the "Soft berry" and "wish me a rose" pencil with me for on the go touch up. I'm not a huge lipstick fan but with my essence lip liner and a gloss there is no look I can not create even an ombre.

To make them last a bit longer i line on clean dry lips then ill apply lipstick and then line again, so when the top line goes and the lipstick fade the bottom line is still there.
