Lipliner Pencil, Deepest Brown CP521

I love these L.A. Colors lip pencils. I buy a bunch of them at a time. The colors are great, and there is a good selection to choose from. I love the spectrum of warmer, browner tones they offer. They’re so pretty. For such inexpensive pencils, they have a very decent amount of pigment, and the colors are not muddy, the way so many cheap lip pencils tend to be. They are not excessively hard in texture, nor too greasy. I have worked with many, many different brands of lip pencils, as I was a make up artist for 30 years. I am now retired, and these are the lip pencils I buy now for my personal use. I could splurge, but I tried one of these, and really liked its performance. They have a decent wear time, if you go over your lined lips with a bit of translucent powder, and they last awhile, even with daily use. There is one thing about these pencils that can be frustrating- though this can happen with any makeup pencil. Sometimes, you will get one that will keep breaking when you try to sharpen it. There are a couple of things you can do if this happens. First, put the pencil in the freezer for about ten minutes before you try to sharpen it again. The cold will solidify the oils in the core of the pencil, so it will be more solid when you go to sharpen it again. Also, always clean all of the remnant gunk left over from sharpening your pencils out of your sharpener. That stuff, if you leave it in there, is going to grab on to the point of the pencil you are trying to sharpen, and encourage it to break. Soak the head of a Q Tip in some waterproof makeup remover, then wipe it all around inside and outside the blade of your sharpener, to clean it out. Use as many Q Tips as you need to get it nice and clean. It’s kind of a pain to keep doing this, but it will save your pencils from breaking. Also make sure the blade in your sharpener has a good sharp edge on it. If it doesn’t, what you are doing is smushing your pencils, not sharpening them. Keep brand new back up sharpeners handy. And when you are sharpening- do it slowly. Concentrate on what you are doing. I can’t tell you the amount of times (in the past) I whittled an expensive Chanel or NARS (etc.) makeup pencil down to nothing because I was in a hurry, or not paying attention to what I was doing. But sometimes, you will just get a pencil that keeps breaking on you. And if it’s one of these L.A. Colors pencils, well- it’s really no big deal to replace it. I’m really happy I discovered these lip pencils, and glad Amazon stocks them. I think these lip pencils are pretty great, and I highly recommend them..

I am really impressed with the L.A. COLORS Lipliner Pencil in Smooth Plum. The color is rich and vibrant, making it perfect for defining my lips or creating a base for lipstick. I love how smooth and creamy the pencil glides on without tugging at my lips, which makes application effortless even when I am in a hurry. And OMG does it LAST! I had it on through a boba and hibachi date and it was still going strong at the end of it! The lipliner also lasts for hours and helps prevent my lipstick from feathering or bleeding, keeping my makeup looking neat all day. The plum shade is beautiful on its own for a subtle look, but it also pairs wonderfully with darker or brighter lipsticks for a more dramatic effect. The pencil is easy to sharpen and feels very comfortable on the lips. Overall, this lipliner is affordable, high-quality, and versatile. It is perfect for everyday wear or for special occasions, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to define their lips with a long-lasting and smooth pencil. IN SUMMARY: The L.A. COLORS Smooth Plum Lipliner is smooth, creamy, and easy to apply. The color is rich, long-lasting, and keeps lipstick from feathering. It is comfortable on the lips and perfect for everyday or special occasions.

Nice pencil for under a buck. Black - Creamy, easy to apply, great texture, no tingling, no smell, color is exactly what I was expecting, not that great longevity, but hey, what can you expect for under a buck. Perfect Brown is just that, the perfect brown, BUT, if you have darker lips this will just blend in and if you're brown skin, not light skin, but brown skin, this will also probably just blend in. This one is also not as creamy as the black. I would not recommend this on or purchase this one again.

The color is gorgeous, and its application is buttery. However, I really feel like it could be more pigmented. I do understand that it's LA colors though, so it's pretty good considering. Definitely cute for a quick line of the lips. It is not necessarily smudge resistant. It will smudge, which is fine if you want to blend it. If not, be wary of that. Pretty easy to use- it's lip liner. It doesn't make a super thick line.

My new favorite lipliner. I can’t believe it is not “luxury” brand or price for how good it is. It works so well, the color is beautiful, and it genuinely makes me never want to buy another lip liner again. It stays on, doesn’t dry out my lips, lasts for a while, it’s perfect. Please do yourself a favor and try it

Nice texture and accurate color. Goes on smoothly and lasts all day, doesnt smudge

Nice color but not as smooth as I would like. The lip liner is hard to apply.

Love this lipliner. It goes on smoothly and stays put for hours. I paired it with my Jolene red Dolly lipstick and it was a great match. I like that it’s budget friendly and actually works!

Couleur non représentative sur l'illustration et en réalité : rosé légèrement paillettée (je n'aime pas forcément ce style de crayon). Crayon pas assez mat pour moi. Sans longue tenue, si porté seul. Délais de livraison tenu

Not plum , its actually more red/burgundy

Didn't like this shade ..It is different than a picture ....very very Bad smelling, waste of money
