With so many different brands out there, finding one of the best nude lip liners is quite a hard task. We want one that doesn’t feather or bleed, one that makes our lips look defined, and preferably one that makes them look naturally fuller too. This is why they’re so popular among red carpet makeup artists! A pretty nude lip liner that matches your lip color as closely as possible will do half of the trick but to make sure your lip liner and lipstick on top stay in place without bleeding or feathering so I’m sharing the 20 best nude lip liners on the market!
Top Picks
I never really saw why a lip liner would be so important until I bought my first Kylie Cosmetics Lip Kit (it was Koko K) which included a liquid lipstick and a lip liner. From that day on, when I first tried a lip liner, I immediately understood because my lips looked fuller and the liquid lipstick didn’t bleed. Now I barely leave the house without a lip liner, actually, I don’t think I left the house without a lip liner before. Because of this, I accumulated quite a lot of nude lip liners over the years and I’m sharing all my favorite ones with you today!
