I have to say that I have never met a lip pencil I didn’t like. OK, what a confession. And my friend, Linda Crim, gave me this great lip primer by Urban Decay called 24/7 Glide-On Lip Pencil in Ozone that is my new obsession. It is clear, really smooth and luxurious and keeps my lipstick on my lips and out of the cracks around them. They also make a version that is a shorter and fatter pencil, more like a crayon, for anywhere on the face that needs a little extra help. You can even use it to fill in tiny lines before you put on foundation. This stuff feels great when I put it on and really holds lip color in place. I line my lips with the pencil then put an extra line around the outsides of my lips just because it feels so good. As a rule, I wear a lot of lip pencil as a lip color, so my lips tend to get very dry during this time of year. Not anymore!
My daughter showed me a similar pencil by Sephora, and I have seen one like the crayon style by Gaella, but I have not tried those yet. In general, I have become kind of a fan of Urban Decay pencils: they just have a creaminess that I like and seem to last throughout the day. I call this Ozone pencil my lipstick moat: nothing gets past it. And I find that having my makeup last for most of the day gets harder and harder as I age. It is like my skin just sucks it dry before lunch! Anything that can make me look a little fresher by mid-day gets a big two-thumbs-up from me and this product does the trick. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
