Our expert says: “I’m a NYX lip product junkie through and through, so I was excited to add this liner to my lip combo. I never leave the house without lining my lips—even if I’m headed to the gym or running errands, bare-faced or soft glam. For the price, this has easily become my go-to because it lasts so long. The trick is to work fast but controlled because the formula can feel a bit thin and wet. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll never leave home without it.”—Nerisha Penrose
