Annabelle BigShow Gel Lip Liners Shades Review

These lip pencils have a lovely consistency, they glide on the lips like butter! So you can easily apply them all over your lips to help make your lipstick last longer and to prevent feathering. They fully dry down on the skin and don't smear or flake off. The formula is water-resistant as well!

Call Me Pinky is the only shade that didn't impress me, I'm not sure if it's the slightly shimmery finish (the other shades are matte) but it looks patchy on the skin and the pigmentation isn't particularly great. All the other shades are incredibly pigmented, though!

  1. I've got what feels like a ridiculous question, but how do you keep the point sharp on these? I bought some a couple weeks ago and already am down to the "pencil" with no obvious way to get more liner out. Twisting the base of the pencil doesn't do anything....

    1. Yeah I know it's confusing because you can twist the base, but they aren't retractable pencils so you will need to sharpen them.

    2. Thank you so much! You are super quick with your replies. The close-up color swatch photos are a big help too.

  2. Sharpen just like a regular pencil, even though it's a gel liner?
