From quintessential bullet lippies to high-shine glosses, there isn’t a dearth of lip essentials in the market. As someone with a penchant for swatching and eventually hoarding all things new (sorry, not sorry), I find myself endlessly amused on a shopping escapade. However, one such impulsive buy that has emerged as a favourite recently is the underrated lip crayon. For all beauty beginners, a lip crayon combines the precision of a liner, the nourishment of a balm, and the colour pay-off of a traditional lipstick. Its buttery formulation glides effortlessly to create a smooth, glistening pout that demands attention.
These are just a smattering of reasons why a lip crayon makes for a great alternative to lipstick or lip stain. If you’re still on the fence whether to shop or drop, scroll further for a list of reasons why lip crayons reign supreme. Read till the end for the 10 best lip crayons you must grab now from Nykaa.
Why Invest in A Lip Crayon?
- Balm-like consistency: A lip crayon boasts a dreamy, balm-like consistency – applying without any tug or drag. It intuitively fills all cracks and creases for an impeccable finish.
- Better Nourishment: Mostly, a crayon is charged with emollients that lock moisture into the pucker, making it look supple and soft.
- Buildable: A lip crayon’s formulation is deemed highly buildable. You can wear it with a single-stroke for a sheer look or go all out to mimic the glaze of a stain.
- Definition and Depth: A lip crayon can also double as a liner. The beauty product’s angled tip (almost like that of a regular crayon) is used for overlining the pucker to create an illusion of fullness.
- Easy, On-the-go Application: This slightly chunky version of a lip liner is also extremely easy to manoeuvre. You can summon it on the go for a snatched lip look, mirror or no mirror. Pro tip: For the best results, start by sketching a small ‘x’ on the cupid bow and work your way outwards.
