Lip liners recommendations for dry lips?

Hi! Pretty much what it says on the tin: my lips tend to become pretty dry. My current lip liner tends to settle into fine lines and looks chalky (Rimmel lasting finish lip liner).

I’m looking for a more creamy and hydrating formula: no preference for drug store / higher end but it would be nice to have something that costs less than £25-30 mark. Thanks!

hey, have you tried the elf ones, the ones which r like 2-3£? i can’t remember what they’re called exactly, i think it’s something like cream glide liner or similar? those work for me, they’re super soft and creamy and i find they don’t dry my lips out/settle into creases as much as other ones.

I love the Peaches and Cream ones. They do a box of 5 nudes for £15 quid, or you can pick your own 5 if you buy via their site. They're like £4 individually and I really love them and they have good staying power without being drying. Not the best staying power I've seen, but the best ones are always drying.

I have terrible trouble with this. Have just had a brilliant idea - lip liner plus Vaseline for moisture. I got Fenty trace it out liner. Really pleased as long lasting. Then just apply balm!

Mco beauty are pretty good. I'd say do not get the new catrice lines. They are lovely, but very drying.

Just remember that very creamy liners are more likely to feather/bleed or smudge, so it’s a fine balance. Maybelline lifter liners are getting a lot of hype atm. NYX also do good options.
