Hailey Bieber's Favorite Lip Liner Is A Classic (& It's Affordable!)
Hailey Bieber does not gatekeep. From her favorite sophisticated floral perfume to her highly recommended shade of blue for her viral Tiffany & Co.-inspired manicure, the supermodel turned beauty brand founder is simply incapable of withholding her skincare and makeup essentials from her beauty-obsessed community. The only problem is that while we love the same things Bieber does, we're not as rich or as influential as she is. And unfortunately, even the most accurate dupes can only take us so far. Thankfully, though, Bieber's recommendations extend to the drugstore, and one of those items is a $5 lip liner that's about to be the best thing in your pout routine.
In a short TikTok video, Hailey Bieber shares how she achieves the viral strawberry makeup, particularly on her lips. Before going over her lips with the limited edition Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment in Strawberry Glaze, she lines them with NYX's Professional Makeup Slim Creamy Long-Lasting Lip Pencil in Nude Truffle. But Bieber isn't the only one in love with this liner, and for good reason.
What's so special about NYX's Slim Lip Pencil?
Whether for a great lip-plumping gloss or the closest dupe to the bestselling Tarte Shape Tape, NYX Cosmetics is our go-to for amazing makeup on a budget. It's no surprise that Hailey Bieber and thousands of other beauty-obsessed folks love this $5 lip liner from the brand. The NYX Professional Makeup Slim Lip Pencil is a creamy lip liner that provides long-lasting pigment with little to no bleeding, feathering, or smudging around your lips. Apart from Nude Truffle, which is the shade Bieber uses in her TikTok, NYX's Slim Lip Pencil is also available in 30 other shades, including a bright Plush Red and a sultry purple-y Prune shade. The liner also offers hydrating benefits as it is formulated with shea butter, coconut oil, and jojoba oil.
With its no-smudge, no-bleed qualities and perfect, easy glide across the lips, it's not hard to see why thousands of reviewers share their praise of NYX's Slim Lip Pencil. One reviewer on Ulta said, "Not only does it help keep the lipstick in the lines (no running anywhere), but it also keeps my lipstick on through straws, food, and anything else that comes my way!" Others have described the liner as "perfect for everyday use" and have mentioned how it gives off a "rich, beautiful color payoff."
How to use NYX's Slim Lip Pencil
Now that you have your Slim Lip Pencil in hand (or maybe in the cart; we don't judge!), it's time to apply. Like you would regular lip liner, you can use your NYX lip pencil in any way you want, whether you wish to overline to achieve a fuller pout or downplay your Cupid's bow with a shallow line between the peaks. Either way, ensure you start your lip lining journey by sharpening your Slim Lip Pencil with a liner sharpener. This will make your lines more precise and make the pencil glide much easier on your lips.
Then, outline your lips with the pencil in whatever direction you want to go. For a better look, follow NYX's advice and start from the center of your lips, moving towards the corners. When you're done with that, you can either top it off with lip gloss like Hailey Bieber does with her Rhode Peptide Treatment in Strawberry Glaze or use matte lipstick. And there you have it, a perfect Bieber-recommended lip liner for a perfect pout.
