Lip Liner Maybelline New York 011, shade 011, 1.2 g

Maybelline New York lip liner in shade 011 is a slim 1.2 g pencil created to define and shape lip contours with precision. The formula is designed for accurate edging, subtle correction and to extend the wear of lipstick. This lip liner can be used to draw sharp borders, fill in the lips as a base for colour, or to prevent feathering along the lip line.

Advantages

The pencil tip offers controlled, precise application for detailed work around the lip edge. Its texture balances firmness for clear lines with enough glide to fill small areas without tugging. Designed for everyday and professional use, the liner helps improve lipstick longevity and reduces colour migration. The compact 1.2 g format is convenient for touch-ups and fits standard makeup bags.

Suitable for

• Defining and reshaping lip contours for everyday makeup
• Preparing lips as a base to increase lipstick durability
• Preventing lipstick feathering and colour bleed
• Creating precise lip looks for photoshoots or events

When it may not be suitable

This lip liner is not intended for use on mucous membranes other than the lips or as an eye liner. Individuals with specific sensitivity to cosmetic ingredients should test on a small skin area before full use. If a firmer or creamier texture is required, users may prefer a different formula tailored to very dry or very oily lips.

Key specifications

• Shade: 011
• Net weight: 1.2 g
• Format: pencil
• Intended use: lip contouring, edging, filling
• Application: manual twist or sharpen (depending on pencil design)

How to use

Start with clean, dry lips. Outline the natural lip border with short, light strokes, beginning at the cupid's bow and working outwards for symmetry. To increase longevity, lightly fill the entire lip area before applying lipstick. For a softer look, blend the liner inward with a fingertip or a small brush. Re-sharpen or twist the pencil as needed to maintain a precise point.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that shade 011 matches your intended lipstick or natural lip tone
• Check for personal sensitivity to cosmetic ingredients if you have a history of reactions
• Decide whether a pencil format is preferred over retractable or creamy liners for your application style

Usage recommendations

Use the lip liner together with a matching or slightly darker lipstick to enhance definition and wear time. For long-lasting results, layer a thin translucent powder over the filled liner before applying lipstick, or set with a matching gloss for added hydration.
