I use lip liner from all sorts of manufacturers with different brand
lip glosses. For example, I have 3 MAC lip liners, one of which is
used with Urban Decay lip gloss, one of which is used with Neutrogena
lipgloss, and okay, the third one is purple to go with the Cyber
lipstick.
I haven't tried any of the special lip liners for glosess, because I
don't think they're necessary or work any better than the old system
I've been using. Read on for more if you're interested.
I find there's a lot of room to mix and match, and drugstore works as
well as department store. Beware: lip liners can be drying. I put
moisturizer on my lips (the same which is used for my face) prior to
applying lip liner.
A note on technique: I apply the lipgloss *first*, then the lip liner.
I do this for two reasons. One is that I have dry lips and need the
moisture for the liner to cover evenly. Second, some of the gloss
comes off on the lip liner. This is easily sharpened away, and
multiple glosses can be combined with multiple liners. If I apply the
liner first, *then* the gloss, then some of the liner color comes off
on the wand and is there to stay. It will later come off on my lips
when I use the gloss again, whether I want that effect or not.

Has anyone tried the new lip liners that are made for lip gloss?
There
was an article about this in April's Lucky. Stila and Cover Girl are
two brands mentioned. Sephora does have the Stila liners on their
website, and I suppose in their stores as well. I love lip gloss,
but
hate how it disappears so quickly. Would appreciate any comments!!
