Rimmel Lasting Finish 8HR Lip Liner - Purple

Use a standard cosmetic sharpener designed for makeup pencils. Gently insert the pencil and twist until you achieve the desired point. Clean the sharpener regularly to ensure a clean cut.

Yes, absolutely. The Rimmel Lasting Finish 8HR Lip Liner offers high color payoff, making it suitable to be worn as a standalone matte lip color for long-lasting wear.

The product is described as having an 8-hour long-wearing formula. While designed for extended wear, it is not explicitly stated as waterproof.

This purple liner pairs excellently with various purple lipsticks, from deep plums to vibrant violets, for a monochromatic look. You can also use it to create ombré effects by pairing it with lighter pinks or nudes for definition.

For extended wear, ensure your lips are clean and dry. You can lightly dust your lips with translucent powder before applying the liner, or apply a thin layer of foundation/concealer as a base before lining and filling in your lips.

The liner might be too cold. Gently warm the tip between your fingers for a few seconds to soften the formula. Ensure the tip is sharp using a cosmetic sharpener.

This often happens if the pencil is too warm or the sharpener is dull. Try refrigerating the liner for 10-15 minutes before sharpening. Use a high-quality, sharp cosmetic sharpener, and apply gentle pressure during application.

Ensure you've created a complete barrier by tracing your lip line carefully. For extra security, lightly fill in the entire lip with the liner as a base before applying lipstick. Avoid applying excessively thick layers of lipstick or very emollient formulas on top.

While designed for 8-hour wear, factors like eating oily foods or excessive rubbing can reduce longevity. For maximum wear, apply to clean, dry lips and consider blotting after lipstick application. Reapply as needed throughout the day.
