Lip liner pencil Maybelline New York 013 — shade 013, 1.2 g

Maybelline New York 013 lip liner pencil, shade 013, 1.2 g, is a slim cosmetic pencil created to define lip contours, prevent lipstick feathering and extend the wear of lip color. The formulation glides smoothly for precise lines and can be used to fill in lips for improved color intensity or to subtly reshape the mouth. The pencil is compatible with matte and creamy lipsticks and is intended for everyday and professional use.

Advantages

The lip liner delivers accurate application with a fine tip that helps draw sharp contours and refine the lip shape. Its texture balances firmness for controlled outlining and enough creaminess to blend when filling the lips, reducing patchiness under lipstick. By creating a barrier at the lip edge, the pencil helps prevent color migration and contributes to longer-lasting lip makeup. The compact pencil format is convenient for touch-ups on the go.

Suitable for

• Defining and shaping lip contours before applying lipstick
• Preventing feathering and color migration of lip products
• Filling in lips as a base to intensify or alter lipstick shade
• Creating the appearance of fuller lips through strategic outlining
• Quick touch-ups during the day or while traveling

When it may not be suitable

This lip liner is a single-shade pencil, so it may not match every lipstick or personal lip tone; choosing the correct shade is important for a seamless result. It may not be ideal for users seeking waterproof or extended-wear claims beyond standard long-wear properties, or for those who require a very soft, balm-like texture.

Key specifications

• Net weight: 1.2 g
• Color: shade 013 (neutral/standard lip liner tone)
• Format: pencil for precise application
• Compatible finishes: matte and creamy lipsticks
• Primary functions: contouring, filling, preventing feathering, extending wear

How to use

Start with clean, dry lips. Use the pencil tip to outline the natural lip border, beginning at the cupid's bow and working outward for the upper lip, then trace the lower lip. For a subtle enhancement, slightly overline where desired and blend inward with light short strokes. To create a base or intensify color, fill the lips with the pencil before applying lipstick. Re-sharpen as needed to maintain a precise tip and perform touch-ups throughout the day.

What to consider before purchase

• Select shade 013 to ensure compatibility with your lipstick or to achieve the intended contour effect
• Consider your preferred lipstick finish (matte or creamy) as this pencil is suited to both
• Note the net weight (1.2 g) to compare product size with other liners
• If you need waterproof or extra-long-wear performance, verify whether this formula meets your requirements

Usage recommendations

For clean, long-lasting results, apply the Maybelline New York 013 lip liner as the first step of your lip routine: outline, fill, then layer your chosen lipstick. For fuller-looking lips, concentrate slightly more product at the center of the cupid's bow and along the middle of the lower lip, blending gently toward the inner mouth.
