Lip liner was a step I used to skip without even batting an eyelid – now I have 9 that I consider my most worn… How times change eh! They’re all quite similar falling under either the nude or pink category. So, here’s the best nude, everyday lip liners I reach for most.
I raved about the GOSH Lip Liner in Nougat Crisp £4.99 in my recent ‘Four to Try’ post because it’s so similar to the Charlotte Tilbury ‘Pillowtalk’ lip cheat. The formula is softer compared to regular lip pencils, making it easy to slightly over line the lips for a fuller look. The shade Nougat Crisp is a lovely rose pink which I find perfect for everyday. I’ll definitely be repurchasing this when I run out. On to the real deal, the Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat in Pillow Talk. This is the perfect, wearable muted pink shade. Although it’s similar to the GOSH lipliner, it is slightly lighter in shade. It’s the formulation of the Lip Cheats that makes them worth the money for me. I love how easy it is to make my lips look slightly fuller without having to over line too much.
Another dupe for Pillowtalk except slightly more on the pink side is the Rimmel Exaggerate Lipliner in Eastend Snob £3.99. This has more of a creamy formulation. but is still incredibly long lasting. Plus, it doesn’t leave my lips feeling dry at all, my absolute pet peeve when it comes to lipliners. The main difference compared to Pillowtalk is that t’s more of a true pink, still beautiful though.
When I’m going for a brown/ peach toned nude lip I tend to reach for MAC Spice £15. This is the perfect nude/ brown shade. It works so well with my beloved Velvet Teddy lipstick. I think MAC lipliners are definitely worth the hype as the staying power is unreal. I’ve found that they do last longer on the lips compared to more affordable options. A close dupe to this (so much so they even have the same name!) is Rimmel’s Spice £3.50. This is such a good dupe that it almost seems a little wasteful to opt for the £15 MAC option. Out of all the more affordable lipliners I’ve tried Rimmel definitely seem to have the best range. Both the Rimmel Exaggerate and normal lipliners are brilliant, I just wish they did more shades! In the swatches and on the lips Rimmel Spice does come out slightly more red toned, but still a fab option for nude/ brown lipsticks.
A staple for the days when I want a really natural lip look is MAC Dervish £15. This is so underrated, I love using this with lip balm as it matches the colour of my lips almost perfectly. Another favourite from MAC is Whirl £15, I picked this up when everyone was raving about it, I’m sure it was one of Kylie Jenner’s faves!? Anyway, I tend to wear this with mauve toned lipsticks and it matches them perfectly, I’m yet to find a MAC lipliner I don’t love and use constantly.
The lip liner that tends to live in my handbag is the L’Oreal Color Riche Lip Liner in Beige a Nu £3.99. I find this shade to be super flattering, not too pink and not too brown. It’s the perfect in between. I don’t find this to be too drying either, and I’ll wear it on it’s own for a matte lip look. A bargain for £3.99! Lastly is my first lipliner purchase around 3 years ago, the NYX Lip Liner Pencil in Mauve £3. I picked this up way before NYX was in the UK, although on it’s last legs now I can’t bring myself to throw it! It’s a lovely mauve/ rose pink shade which is the colour I tend to reach for most days (if you hadn’t already noticed)!
L-R – NYX Mauve, GOSH Nougat Crisp, MAC Whirl, L’Oreal Beige a Nu, Rimmel Spice, MAC Dervish, MAC Spice, CT Pillowtalk, Rimmel Eastend Snob
I think from this it’s quite clear I have a type when it comes to lipliners… What’s your most worn lip liner?

Pillow talk by Charlotte Tilbury has been on my wishlist for I don't even know how long. Really want to check out the rest of the ones you mentioned too :)http://izzyk1998.blogspot.co.uk/http://izzykreviews.blogspot.co.uk/
A lot of them are pretty similar to Pillowtalk but nothing quite beats it in terms of both formulation and shade! It's worth the splurge x
These are all such pretty everyday shades!xo, Lizhttp://lipstickandconfetti.com
Thanks Liz, if it's a nude/ rose pink I'll probably love it haha!
I have to admit I think I own maybe 5 lip liners haha! I use GOSH Nougat Crisp and Rimmel East End Snob so much.Emmy | EmmysBeautyCave | Blog Header Design Services
Ahh no way! Come to think of it I think it may have been you that introduced me to GOSH Nougat Crisp, I won a giveaway a while back and I'm sure it came in that. I've repurchased it since as I love it so much x
Those shades are gorgeous! I never used to use lip liners but now I can't imagine my routine without them. Liv xlivslack.blogspot.co.uk
Me too girl!
I definitley go through phases with lip liners – I go from using them every day to not using them in weeks! I love Mac's Boldly Bare, it's my favourite lip product ever for everyday wear! xAriadna || RAWR BOWS
Oo I've heard a lot about Boldly Bare and from the name I think I would love it! I'll have to give it a try next time I'm in MAC x
Uh I forgot I have Mac Spice too! I used to be a nudepink kind of girl but now I'm more into nude/brown shades on my lips :)Caterina | http://www.caterinasosso.com
I love these, I rarely wear lip liner because I'm a minimum effort kind of girl haha, though I really want to try some GOSH products now! Jen, Velvet Spring. xo
I literally can't get enough of lip liners, my collection has grown from 0 to around 15 in the space of a year haha. I'm currently obsess with NYX, Max Factor also have a gorgeous formula, I like Mac Soar, but it just fells so dry compared to my beloved Pillow Talk.www.claireellis.co.uk
I love the Charlotte Tilbury and MAC liners, they are perfect for everyday!Danielle xxhttp://www.fashionbeautyblog.co.uk/
These are so pretty!http://www.myclusterofthoughts.com/
I'm not a big lip liner wearer to be honest but I really want to get spice, it seems like such a pretty shade! XKate// itskaterose.com
Such pretty shades Jodie! I always for for these types of colours as they're the most flattering on me, I'm a little too scared to try brighter shades. Love the post!-Sophie xx || Cherries & Perfume
I feel like lip liners are things that I will never get enough of! Yours are all such pretty colours! I love this post!www.amberatlanta.blogspot.co.uk
I love MAC lip liners I don't have any of these shades though, Whirl looks really nice I'm pretty sure I've looked at it in store and got one similar!Lauren x Huggled
I don't own many lip liners but I love East End Snob, I haven't worn it for a while actually! The only downside is how easily it can snap. My favourite liner is MAC Soar, I totally agree with you that MAC lip liners are worth the hype! xoLaura | Blush and Bronze
MAC Spice is probably my most-used liner but all these shades appeal to me! I need to stop skipping the liner because it really does make a difference :)Jasmine xx Jasmine Talks Beauty
Rimmel Spice and East End Snob are my go-to lip liners, aswell as Rimmel's Addiction. I wear that pretty much every day! X♡ itsjessiejane ♡
I love Eastend snob. I've lost count the amount of times I've repurchased that. I'm also huge fan of Rimmel spice. I must check out the Gosh one next, I can't believe I haven't tried those xxwww.lpagebeauty.com
MAC Spice is one of my faves, I don't reach for lip pencils very often but I do love that one!Gemma Louise
So many gorgeous lip liners, I need to get both MAC and Rimmel Spice lip liners. Awesome post! XxALittleKiran | Bloglovin
Love these picks Jodie, I'm actually so useless with liner. I use Pillow Talk liner quite a lot but it's the only one I regularly use. Definitely going to save this post as a wish list, and start picking up some Rimmel and Mac ones!The Makeup Directory
Love all of these lip liners! I love MAC Boldly Bare or Dervish they are the two I probably reach for most!! xxLaura | http://www.mylauralife.co.uk
