My Experience with Essence Draw The Line Instant Colour Lip liner 12 Head To-Ma-Toes:

The product comes in plastic pencil with a black cap. The color of the body denotes the shade of the lip liner. The cap of this one is a little flimsy and doesn’t close well. There is some information on the body. The name of the shade is present on the top of the cap with a sticker but, this will quickly fade away. The pencil is sleek and this makes the pencil travel-friendly.

The shade “Head To-Ma-Toes” is a beautiful orangey red shade. It is well pigmented and gives you a very good colour payoff. The shade is very beautiful and would match many of the red lipsticks. The color is suitable for all the skin tones and it brightens up your face instantly. You can just go on with kajal and sunscreen with the red lips.
The initial liner product is pointy and sharp and this allows easy application to the corners of the lips too easily but once this is done, the pencil becomes a little blunt and you need to struggle a little when applying to the corners.

The lip pencil is extremely creamy and soft making it glide easily but, it does tug the lips if you want to fill color in the lips. The lip pencil is great if you just want to outline the lips. If you have dryness, it accentuates the dryness on the lips. Also, while filling in the lips it does create a patchy finish and you need to follow up with a lip balm or a lipstick to even the color out.

The product provides a matte finish. It doesn’t have any moisturizing properties and thus application must be done to well exfoliated and moisturized lips. The product lengthens the wear of a lipstick. The lip liner when applied alone doesn’t smudge, transfer or bleed. It is also waterproof. The product alone stays for a good 8 hours on my lips. It doesn’t leave any tint behind. The application is easy too but just that you need to use a oil based remover for removing the product well. Overall, the color is amazing and the range is a must have. So, summing up
