I can't tell you the number of times I've ended up with feathering or "clown lips" as I call it, after applying a bold lipstick. With this, you just put it around your lips (not on, around) and it creates an invisible barrier that stops the colour from migrating. An absolutely life saver for a bold lipstick lover like me.
I first heard about this stuff on a demo for the "perfect red lips", and I had to try it. It works great as a liner for any lipstick, as it goes on clear. It's a bit strange to get used to lining with it outside my lips as opposed to drawing a natural lipline, but once you've done it a few times it comes pretty naturally. I typically use it when I'm sporting a bold colour, like red or a deep pink. The only place this thing loses points is that you can't see when you're about to run out, and it's easy to snap off a chunk if you use too much pressure (not a problem with pencils that you sharpen). Also, don't leave this in your hot car unless you want to melt off the tip of the liner. The price is kind of high if you're used to buying basic pencil liners, but totally worth it as you don't have to buy a bunch of them to coordinate with different lip colours.
I never wore lipstick before this product, but it is so simple that it takes all the guesswork out of choosing lipliner colours.
It is a bit expensive at $14 CAD at Shoppers, but you simply have to apply the clear liner outside your lip-line and your lipstick will not bleed. It will last hours.
