Glo Skin Beauty Precision Lip Pencil - Coral Crush

A lip pencil that keeps your line sharp while also adding color to your entire lip.

Why it works

Lip color that bleeds into the fine lines around your mouth is rarely a matter of too much product: it is a border that isn't clearly defined. This pencil creates that border and holds it, as the formula is water-resistant and barely shifts, melts, or transfers. What sets it apart from an ordinary lip pencil is what else is in it: jojoba oil and meadowfoam seed oil, ceramide NP, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin E. You would normally expect ceramides and hyaluronic acid in your skincare. The former helps hold the skin barrier together, while the latter binds moisture. As a result, the line doesn't feel like a dry streak.

The texture is velvety soft with a satin, slightly glossy finish. It is blendable and buildable, so you decide whether it remains just a line or becomes a full color.

About this color

Coral Crush is a vibrant coral: a warm, orangey-pink, fresh and striking. A summer color, and one of the few that makes tanned or warm skin look even warmer. With a very cool complexion, it can come across as harsh, in which case it is better to blend it out with your finger rather than leaving it sharp.

For whom

For those who see their lipstick beginning to bleed, or who notice the contour of their lip becoming less defined over the years. Also if you want your lips to appear fuller: you can work just outside the outer edge of your natural line; that makes a big visual difference. And for those who don't really wear lipstick but want a little something, a pencil alone, blended out, is often enough.

How to use it

Trace the edge, starting at the corners of your mouth and working toward the center. That is where the shape is and where it usually goes wrong. Then fill in the entire lip instead of just the edge, otherwise, you will see a dark outline around a faded center after a few hours. Afterward, you can apply lipstick or gloss, or leave it as is. Keep the tip sharp with a sharpener; that is half the work.

My advice

The lip pencil is the product that is skipped most often and where I see the biggest difference. Not because it is spectacular, but because it makes your color stay on much longer, and that makes more of a difference than a more expensive lipstick. What I often correct in the studio: people draw their line just outside or just inside the edge of their lip. Look in the mirror to see where your lip tissue transitions into skin and place your line exactly there. That is the difference between well-groomed and "drawn-on."
