This is an effective lip pencil. For me its is long lasting,not dry like some can be, and is perfect with my Max Factor lipstick. Both are my everyday go-to hand bag essentials. The pencil sharpens well, doesn't blunt easily and isn't breaking off which is a real plus. I am altogether very happy with this product. A simple lip liner which works well, what more can I say!

Max Factor Colour Elixir Lip Liner Review

Tips: Keep one for spare!
I was pleasantly surprised to receive this with my Max Factor Lipstick trial, and looked forward to giving it a go. I had never used a lipstick liner before, and was not too sure why I would need one, but it turns out you do, if you don't want your lipstick to slide off your lips. I like the pencil design, and the pencil itself is quite slim-lined. If you need to sharpen this you would need a small sharpener.. The texture is creamy yet light, and there is no smell that goes along with using this. Using this was super easy, and it really did make a difference to the longevity of my lipstick, it stayed where it should, and gave a great base rather than bare lips. I will continue to use this as it is able to be used on any skin tone, under any lipstick, and it has changed the way I view lipstick liners.
Tips: I would put this in the fridge before sharpening to harden the tip, save on product wastage, and get an excellent sharp result.
I have repurchased this liner in the dark brown shade several times and it seems to be a great match for a lot of the dark brown and burgundy colours I love to wear.
It's a straightforward non-retractable pencil, but it seems to sharpen up nicely. I loathe pencils that disintegrate into splinters and break tips during the sharpening process!
It gives a precise line and seems to last well without bleeding. It doesn't ever seem to feel drying and the same pencil lasts a long time.
I haven't found a perfect pencil colour match for every single one of my favourite lipsticks in this range, but I'll happily buy it whenever I can find a match.
I really liked this lip liner! Can't remember what the name of the shade was but it was a dark red/purple colour. I'm only giving it a lower score because it doesn't having "conditioning" colour and it is not retractable. It was really soft and highly pigmented and a good colour to wear under MAC Dark Side for example. It was slightly drying though so definitely one to just use to line your lips - not fill it all in. If you're not too fused about having to sharpen it (I'm just lazy) then this a good lip liner to try out :)
Tips: Don't leave the lid off! Mine dried out.
I have this lip liner in pink petal and am really enjoying using it. The liner gives a defined precise line and doesn't bleed at all. I like to fill in my lips with this liner under nude lipsticks as it really increases the longitivity of lipstick on the lips. Like most lip liners it is a bit drying so I wouldn't use alone if filling in your entire lip.
