Most lip pencils either glide well but fade quickly, or last all day yet feel dry and unforgiving. L'Oreal Colour Riche Matte Sharpenable Lip Liner balances precision, comfort and staying power, so you get crisp definition and a modern matte finish that works seamlessly under any lip product.

A blend of methyl trimethicone and trimethylsiloxysilicate helps the formula glide on then set, forming a flexible film that anchors colour in place. Microcrystalline wax and polyethylene give structure for sharp lines, while nylon-12 and synthetic fluorphlogopite contribute to a smoother, more refined look across the lip surface.

The texture is a controlled, creamy matte: firm enough for accuracy, yet soft enough to sketch without pulling. Once applied, it settles to a weightless, non-greasy finish that feels secure but not tight. Colour stays even and defined through talking, drinking and everyday wear with minimal touch-ups.

Use it to outline, contour, or fill the entire lip for a long-wearing base under lipstick or gloss. Sharpen for ultra-precise edges, or use a slightly dulled tip for softer definition. For a modern look, lightly blend the line inwards before topping with your chosen lip product.

High pigment concentration delivers opaque coverage in one stroke.Film-forming technology helps lip colour cling to the liner for longer wear.Silicone oils and waxes provide a smooth glide with controlled grip.Sharpenable wooden pencil format allows consistent precision over time.

Layer under L'Oreal Colour Riche lipsticks or glosses to enhance definition and extend wear, or use alone for a matte, full-lip look. It integrates easily into any existing lip routine, acting as the structure that keeps other textures looking polished for longer.

A professional-level matte lip liner that defines, secures and refines any lip look with long-lasting comfort.

• Step 1. Ensure lips are clean, then lightly blot away any excess balm so the surface is smooth but not slippery.
• Step 2. Sharpen the pencil to a fine point for detailed work, or to a softer tip for diffused definition.
• Step 3. Start at the cupid’s bow and outline the natural lip contour using short, light strokes for control.
• Step 4. Continue tracing along the sides and lower lip, joining the corners carefully to prevent gaps or unevenness.
• Step 5. For longer wear, lightly fill in the entire lip with the pencil to create a matte base.
• Step 6. Apply your chosen lipstick or gloss on top, or leave as is for a defined, matte lip.

Pro Tips

• Soften the edge by gently blending the line inwards with a fingertip or lip brush before applying lipstick.
• Use the pencil alone to subtly reshape the lip contour, staying close to the natural line for a balanced look.
• Blot once with tissue after filling the lips, then reapply a light layer of liner to reinforce endurance.
• Store with the cap firmly closed and sharpen regularly to maintain hygiene and precision.
