Review: Laura Mercier Lip Pencil
What They Say: "Laura Mercier Lip Pencil is designed to outline, define & enhance the natural shape of the lip. Firm enough to draw a precise thin line, yet soft enough to blend, the creamy formula glides on smoothly & comfortably. Prolong wear of all lip colours by applying a lip pencil first - helps prevent lip colour from bleeding, feathering, or collecting in corner."
Jen's Experience: When I wear deeper colored lipsticks, I think that lip pencils are often essential to keep my color on my lips where it belongs. With all of the lovely reds and chestnut colors popular this fall, I've been getting a lot of use out my Laura Mercier lip pencil in Chestnut. It goes on so softly, but really does stay put. Because it blends so easily, I find that I can wear it with a variety of different red colors.
Sometimes I like to just wear lip pencil all over my lips and just wear a lip plumper or a gloss over top. Because this lip pencil is really thick, it just was a little too gummy to wear as all-over color. That's a minor thing, though, and not a recommended use of the product. As a lip liner, I am a big fan, and will likely be purchasing additional colors to go with my other lipsticks.
Retail Price: $18.00 (LauraMercier.com)

Review: Laura Mercier Lip Pencil:
I really like Laura Mercier lip pencils as well. They're highly pigmented and stay put. Chestnut is one of those versatile colors that goes with so many lipcolors depending on how thin I blend it out with a brush. To use LM pencils as my all over lip color I pencil it on the back of my hand to warm up a bit and pick up the color with a brush. It's a little creamier that way. Add a little pigment for shimmer and/or some gloss if you like and you're good to go!
