How to choose a waterproof lip liner
Waterproof cosmetics have common advantages and disadvantages, and a lip (eye) pencil is no exception. Of course, it will allow you to look spectacular for a long time, but what problems can the owner of waterproof makeup face?
Pros of waterproof eyeliner and lip liner
There is hardly a girl who will refuse to look good under any circumstances. Long lasting lip and eye pencils let you forget about the need to regularly touch up your makeup, even in extreme conditions, be it a beach, a nightclub, a water park or a long grueling photo session. You just have to occasionally refresh your lips with a colorless gloss.
In addition to the impeccable appearance, such cosmetics have another indisputable advantage over the usual: there are no traces of it. You won’t leave your lipstick on glasses, cups, your sleeves, or your loved one’s shirts.

The lipliner is a waterproof lip liner that contours your lips for a more harmonious sensual look. And if it is additionally equipped with a brush, you can easily shade the entire surface of the lips, which will make them more natural. If you need to follow a strict dress code, the color of the pencil should be chosen as close to natural as possible. In this case, its role will be to adjust the shape of the lips, not to add color.
The disadvantages of waterproof products are related to their chemical composition. The desired effect is achieved due to volatile agents, which ultimately dry out the skin, and various waxes, which clog the pores, preventing it from breathing and functioning normally. As a result, dry skin becomes drier, and oily skin becomes inflamed faster, acne appears, an allergic reaction is possible due to the fact that the skin is deprived of the ability to cleanse itself. All of this can be avoided by not using waterproof lipsticks, foundations, eyeliners, lips, and brows too often.
Never powder your lips before applying long-lasting makeup. The remedy should take hold. Use two-phase products to remove traces of makeup.
To minimize the negative effects of such cosmetics, use water-resistant lines based on micronized minerals that allow the skin to breathe, while reliably protecting it from ultraviolet radiation. There are also products containing anti-inflammatory and anti-allergenic components.
