I am not a fan of lipliners because they have been more pencil-like in putting it on. They seemed to tug on my lips as I applied it. My basic lipstick, Bobbi Brown's Blue Raspberry, is a staple I use year round. I thought I needed to make it a little darker for winter, so I tried Bobbi Brown's Rum Raisin. It's creamy, easy to apply, stays on and really adds a POP to my lipstick. This liner will be a staple in my make-up drawer from now on.
