FORMULATION OVERVIEW: Formulating Lip Liner Pencils

Learn how to formulate your own natural lip liner pencils for beautifully defined lips!

Lip liner is a versatile makeup essential that helps define and enhance the shape of the lips, creates a neat outline for lipstick application, and helps prevent lipstick from bleeding beyond the lip line. From subtle, natural shades to bold, statement colors, lip liners are a wonderful addition to any natural makeup collection.

In this class, you'll discover how to formulate natural lip liner pencils that combine rich pigmentation with the right balance of firmness and smooth application.

You'll learn how to select and combine oils, butters, waxes, and mineral pigments in the right proportions to create a solid lip liner that delivers visible color, glides smoothly onto the lips, and is firm enough to be sharpened.

We'll also explore examples of commercially available natural lip liners, looking at their ingredients to understand how different formulations achieve their texture, color, and performance.
