This is the hardest I've ever worked on a video and frankly, I'm not happy with it. I re-shot the application footage over and over and over again because the lighting wasn't right. Itried using orange gels and diffuser fabrics on my window, shooting in only artificial lighting, shooting in my garage in front of a paper roll, shooting at 6am when the sun isn't too bright....nothing looked as good as the lighting in my old house. I've hired a company to help me design a studio so hopefully I will have great lighting soon!

Thanks so much for all the hard work you do. Sounds like you're going crazy trying to get that perfect lighting setup, but I could see the colors well, You don't need to apologize!
Omg so grateful you care so much but I came to comment what an incredibly helpful video this was because of all the in depth swatches! You are too hard on yourself this video is everything!❤🩷🧡
Nyx has changed where they manufacture their lip pencils from Germany to Mexico. That’s why the formula completely changed.mac whirl is a dupe to nyx mauve lip liner
This is truly a magnum opus of a lip liner video! Ok, maybe that was a little hyperbolic of me but I really appreciated the detail and all the swatches! I can't trust the digital swatches so this is the best way for me to see the colors without going into the stores and doing this myself. You're the best Kait! ❤
Unholy cow, girl, we can't thank you enough for this level of commitment! Here's hoping you can continue to provide us with these extremely informative deep dives.
@@StateofKait That's a damn shame because of all the labor you put into it. Well, some of us out here definitely appreciate the effort when you're able to.
Girl we are not worthy! Your deep dives are so incredible. You described products so well and I appreciate all of the application and hand swatch b roll clips. I know these takes ages to begin with and having to redo so many times, we are so thankful
Adding another comment - totally agree with you on having mad respect for brands who don’t use influenster and equivalents! I’m soooooooo sick of incentivized reviews
Same here! It's frustrating. I found a brand called Iris and they launched an app that's all about unsponsored/un-incentivized beauty reviews. Seems pretty cool if you want to check them out.
my favorite type of makeup review video - lots of products, STRAIGHT to the point, clear descriptions, not rambly but provides your opinion, great closeups, different lighting, I could go on.....THANK YOU.
I know it’s not performing that well, but thank you for all the effort you put into it. These kinds of videos I come back to when I’m looking to purchase something in the same category. I hope the company you are going to work with will help you get the results you want as far as lighting goes. Thanks again!
Your deep dives are seriously incredible. Thank you so much for putting so much effort in and always giving us different lighting swatches AND application footage!!! Also, I think you have the prettiest lip shape!
Not only do you look absolutely stunning, but your dedication to explaining the shades and what tones may work with different skin tones is awesome! I’ve been wanting to wear more lip liners, but never know what works for me. 😍
I think I speak for most when I say, MORE THUMPER. He makes for an amazing backdrop. I love your deep dives and appreciate all the creativity and research you put into them. P.S.: Your freckles on the ColourPop Cool BFF application footage are ahhhmazing!
Loved this video Kait! and love how you do your lip swatches. I can't tell you how many times I go back to your videos to remember how a lip product performed and looked. Those LA girl shockwave lipliners are such a hidden gem, if you want to try another shade in that formula then the shade coquette is beautiful. When it comes to Lisa Eldridge, the enhance and define lip liners are wayyy too creamy, pigmented and slippy, it makes it almost hard to control. They set down and are long lasting but they feel quite heavy on the lips. The LE sculpt and shade lip liners are much better. The formula reminds me of the MUF artist color pencils. You also really need to try the Milani easy liner in most natural, it only comes in two shades but this lip liner formula is really pretty but the color is what gets me. It's the most beautiful natural shade that goes with any lip color. Totally agree with you about the MAC lipliners, but the shades are really beautiful. I think you would really like the shade whirl, it's more of a cool tone mauve that creates a really pretty shadow, but of course you have to love the formula to buy another lip liner lol. Other amazing lip liners I highly recommend you try are the Freck beauty ones, the About Face lip liners, the Nabla lip liners, and the Natasha Denona I need a nude lip liners (prettiest colors and formula!)
You did it again! Absolutely amazing the amount of work that you put into these. So comprehensive and impressive! Currently my favorite liners are Tower 28, Kosas, and my old formulation NYX Nude Beige. I bought the Clio one based on your recommendation. I haven’t used it enough to know if it’ll become a favorite. Thanks again for all your dedication, work, time, and effort!
Could you please share a video comparing Sephora Rouge Gel in The Nudist and Sweed in Barely There? These shades look quite similar in this video, but I’d love to see a side-by-side to see if Barely There would truly be too warm-toned for me, or if it could work as a light lip contour that actually sets down!
Do I wear lipliners, no. Am I gonna watch this anyway? Absolutely! (I'm terrible with lipliner, so the only one I kinda wear and like the look of is tower 28 work of art, so I'm curious about the shade extension!)
Absolutely amazing!!!! Thank you so much for doing all the work!! Lipliner is a must-have for me for the past forty years (alas, I am OLD!), and of course, through the years, my favorites have been discontinued, so it's a nearly never-ending hunt to find new faves.
Seeing all of the different nuances helps immensely in the overwhelming saturation of brands and colors on the market. Thank you for your time and effort in this deep dive! Always appreciate your passion and love that is so evidently poured into your vids! 🥰🥰🥰
Amazing work! I love the depth of your work and im here for the sass. I also love having your deep dives on when im working, its like having a friend over for coffee and make up chat! Thank you x
Thank you! Loved this topic. It's a challenge to find liners that look good on cool toned skin! I want to buy the Pillow Talk in the cool fair shade. It looks great on you.
Appreciate this video, lip liner is not a product I really analyze when I use it. This video has me wanting to try the 4 lip liners I own and pay attention to the differences. Also, I never skip the ads when I watch you or HLP, you deserve every penny!
I wish the algo rewarded reference content more, because I knew I wasn’t ready to watch it when it first dropped, but once I had the time to really pay attention & keep some tabs open for my own further research this is SO valuable! I totally get you have to do what gives you ROI for your time, maybe make the deep dives for Patreon and teasers for that on the free spaces? I just want you compensated for this hard work and I know I’d be willing to pay a fee for saving me from shades and formulas I can now skip!
You always go above and beyond with your diligence, commentary, analysis, and genuine testing and comparison of so many brands and formulas, just amazing and grateful!
Thank you for your extensive review video! I loved the brief break regarding the CT website. Your dedication to this type of video is AMAZING (yes, I’m yelling at you). Why are people so stingy with the like button? I have both types of the Lisa Eldridge liners. The originals are packed with pigment, match beautifully with the lipsticks and don’t budge, although there isn’t much playtime, which isn’t great if you aren’t good at drawing. The new liners are great for shaping, although not terribly long-lasting, but 0C is a fantastic shade for me and helps cover up some of the discoloration on my lip line. I often team this up with a creamy longer lasting formula. My most used are the Lisa Eldridge, Nabla, Chanel, Sisley and CT with the newcomer to my collection, Sweed, quickly becoming a favorite too! This video sent me down a long rat hole on the definition and history of the color mauve. I agree that most mauves do not live up to my expectations.
Rewatching because I don't feel well and all I want to do is lie in bed and watch youtube (maybe not the best but here we are) Love the video as always and I am so impressed by the effort and dedication and passion put into this. Thank you!!
Thank you for all your research and work! I've been searching for the "right" mauve for my skin undertone too and it's not an easy road 😆Wish you all the best 🤗
Kait, this was incredibly informative and so appreciated. Seeing your swatches on Instagram, in conjunction with this video, was very helpful. Thanks for all your hard work. I hope today is a good one.✌🏻
I love this video. Amazing work. I saw several that are really interesting. Lip liners used to be so boring. Things are changing. Love that you offer good recommendations on liners for all budgets.
I’m currently trying to buy some lip pencils and I keep coming back to this video!! It’s literally amazing, thank you for your hard work and dedication to this, this is literally like a book 📕 and made me subscribe to you right away!
What an amaaaaaaazing video!! My fav liner is the Revlon colorstay in the shade Nude. I definitely like a budge proof liner, and I love that you specified how easily each applied, the texture, and the longevity of each one!!! Also I tend to like the same lip colors as you so this was all so awesome!!! 👏🏼
I went and bought the kosas 100 lip liner after watching this and I love the colour on my pale skin it’s a my lips but better. Thanks for such an in depth review 🥰
another amazing deep dive video --- thank youuuuuu! I love how organized and calm and truthful your videos are, so refreshing compared to so much of what's out there!
Thank you for including inexpensive lip liners as well as high-end lip liners. I'm going to try the ColourPop, Maybelline, Revlon, and Rimmel lip liners. I don't really like the LA Girl lip liner. Also, thank you for spending so much time on your videos. They're very informative.
Thank you for such a thorough deep dive! It's so helpful when looking at the sea of products! You do an excellent job with your deep dives and I really appreciate it!!
You are a dedicated soul when it comes to these videos! My most difficult part of buying lip liners is always the color. They are either too warm or stiking pink. I also need a cool tone and I have to say I found a few with this video. Thank you so much, go baby your lips with some moisturizer!😉💚
Hi Kait once again your long and thorough videos, I loved this one on lip liners. I have told you before that I appreciate your hard work and money spent to do these and I def appreciate all that you do 😘
I totally agree with you on the elusive mauve lip liner. There are hardly any companies who know what it means. Lawless honey rose is my favorite thus far. Im 61 so I appreciate the creamy formula. I bought a Maybelline one yesterday, it was supposed to be mauve, nope, peachy brown. My lips are borderline purple so anything warm looks terrible. Great video, ty❤
She took one for the team🥹♥️ thank you!! It doesn’t matter if the lighting wasn’t 100% good you did PERFECT! Still! your dedication toward such a hardworking video deserves the praise! I was always curious whether or not there’s a lip liner that doesn’t end up creasing? Is there any such lip liner that doesn’t crease I feel like they all do somewhat ? I shall see the full video and see 😁
i think this video was so great. i couldnt see anything wrong about the lighting, dont be so harsh on yourself, sometimes things just suck haha. love when you do this kind of videos bc its so nice to have to look back on when your wanting a lipliner and wonder how it looks. we are similar in lip color so its nice to see when i know it will look about the same on me. hope your well and safe. hope your day and week is great. hope your summer is better than here in norway. love ya
That Milani lipliner grows drier as the pencil ages and eventually sets down more. I had mine for about three months before the formula became exactly what I wanted it to be.
what an amazing video! Thank you for all your hard work putting this together! My wish list after watching: Glossier Lip Line in grip Makeup by Mario Ultra Suede Lip Liner in smoky pink Tower 28 Beauty OneLiner in work of art (idk why I haven't purchased this, so affordable!)
Hey Kait I love your videos so I just wanted to add that Clio recently added 2 new colors to their lip pencils so now it’s 6 in total , amazing video btw you always describe everything very explicitly and accurately so thank you for that cause not many beauty content creators do that anymore 🤍🤍🤍
Totally get your point about the MAC lip pencil. I find them somewhat laborious to apply too. But generally, the stiffer formulas tend to last longer on my lips.
Wonderful, in depth review of a much needed category. Thank you, thank you! I hope to pick up a couple of them, based on your remarks. However, I’m not completely clear on which are mechanical (my strong preference) vs. wood ones (your apparently preferred ones). If you ever do another, could you please indicate that - just an M next to the listed name is all it would take. Thanks again for all your hard work!
Fantastic video! So much work! I purchased one of the LA girl shock wave lip liners from 5 below. It was in a display right next to the LA colors lip liners, and I had heard they were sister brands. So I picked up one of those as well in the gel liner. I think they're the same formula! The LA colors one was equally long wearing and creamy as the la girl, and I'm overjoyed because they were only 2.50 and the color range was different. I'm pretty sure they had a cool tone mauve.
I’m sure I’m not the first person to say this but you and Hannah Alonso sound SO alike. When I have auto play on sometimes I’m like, wait… Hannah does makeup content now?! But it’s you in all your brilliance! ❤
Finally! A normal looking person doing a REAL beauty channel instead of the filler/filter diva scamming “brand influencer” we see now. I can’t relate to those influencers
I beyond loved this video and appreciate all your hard work. You are stellar!!!!!!!!!!!!! Try the Sephora lipliner in Belleflower - it has lots of pigment although the purple shade might be a bit wild for you!
@@StateofKait I was just looking at my MbM Smokey Pink too. It's my fave out of his line. I'm a cool, super desaturated light olive and I'm all about the cooler, pink/purple/greige colors, they seem to be the only ones that don't turn an ugly orange on me. :)
The effort you put in to your videos especially this one is unmatched. There is not enough thanks for the work here and it’s SO appreciated! I can’t wait to pick up a few of these ❤
I totally agree with the NYX lip liner. I got multiple because made good experiences that were pigmented and I had no issues applying until I came across ‚natural‘, my lips hurt just because I was pushing so hard to see at least some color…
Love this video. So informative. I only have access to Colorpop, but I love it. I was thinking on trying Maybelline, but I won't spend my money on it, based on your trusted review. ❤
Round of applause 👏 As always, your deep dives are amazing! The detailed descriptions, the wide range of products, and the b-roll swatch clips are so so helpful. Wearing makeup by Mario Smokey pink today!
New fan and follower! I find these videos so valuable! Although, I’m a brunette with brown/hazel eyes - We have such a similar skin tone and pretty much every blush, complexion, and lip liner recommendation you make works perfect for me. Which is tough when you’re very neutral, everything looks too warm on me. Also, I find your voice so relaxing. Keep up the great work! BTW, you look radiant in that Ivory top- great color. Just curious, do you know your color season?
This is the hardest I've ever worked on a video and frankly, I'm not happy with it. I re-shot the application footage over and over and over again because the lighting wasn't right. Itried using orange gels and diffuser fabrics on my window, shooting in only artificial lighting, shooting in my garage in front of a paper roll, shooting at 6am when the sun isn't too bright....nothing looked as good as the lighting in my old house. I've hired a company to help me design a studio so hopefully I will have great lighting soon!

I definitely like a budge proof liner, and I love that you specified how easily each applied, the texture, and the longevity of each one!!! Also I tend to like the same lip colors as you so this was all so awesome!!! 👏🏼
Yay!
I went and bought the kosas 100 lip liner after watching this and I love the colour on my pale skin it’s a my lips but better. Thanks for such an in depth review 🥰
another amazing deep dive video --- thank youuuuuu! I love how organized and calm and truthful your videos are, so refreshing compared to so much of what's out there!
That means a lot to me, thank you
Thank you for including inexpensive lip liners as well as high-end lip liners. I'm going to try the ColourPop, Maybelline, Revlon, and Rimmel lip liners. I don't really like the LA Girl lip liner. Also, thank you for spending so much time on your videos. They're very informative.
❤wow, first video I have seen of yours. Much appreciated!!!
You are so amazing in these deep dives ❤ i watch these over and over again ❤ thank you for these
Thank you for such a thorough deep dive! It's so helpful when looking at the sea of products! You do an excellent job with your deep dives and I really appreciate it!!
Thank you so much!
You are a dedicated soul when it comes to these videos! My most difficult part of buying lip liners is always the color. They are either too warm or stiking pink. I also need a cool tone and I have to say I found a few with this video. Thank you so much, go baby your lips with some moisturizer!😉💚
hahaha my lips were destroyed after this
Hi Kait once again your long and thorough videos, I loved this one on lip liners. I have told you before that I appreciate your hard work and money spent to do these and I def appreciate all that you do 😘
I totally agree with you on the elusive mauve lip liner. There are hardly any companies who know what it means. Lawless honey rose is my favorite thus far. Im 61 so I appreciate the creamy formula. I bought a Maybelline one yesterday, it was supposed to be mauve, nope, peachy brown. My lips are borderline purple so anything warm looks terrible. Great video, ty❤
She took one for the team🥹♥️ thank you!! It doesn’t matter if the lighting wasn’t 100% good you did PERFECT! Still! your dedication toward such a hardworking video deserves the praise! I was always curious whether or not there’s a lip liner that doesn’t end up creasing? Is there any such lip liner that doesn’t crease I feel like they all do somewhat ? I shall see the full video and see 😁
Finally have time to settle down with a cup of tea and watch some Kait!
Awwwwww
i think this video was so great. i couldnt see anything wrong about the lighting, dont be so harsh on yourself, sometimes things just suck haha. love when you do this kind of videos bc its so nice to have to look back on when your wanting a lipliner and wonder how it looks. we are similar in lip color so its nice to see when i know it will look about the same on me. hope your well and safe. hope your day and week is great. hope your summer is better than here in norway. love ya
We see you doing the WORK! 👏🏻 Whew, what a doozy, thankful you did this roundup! As always, amazing detail 🥰
That Milani lipliner grows drier as the pencil ages and eventually sets down more. I had mine for about three months before the formula became exactly what I wanted it to be.
This was so awesome! Will def refer back for my next lip liner purchase
I appreciate all of your hard work and comprehensive review. You make shopping for makeup easier and so much more enjoyable. Thanks Kait!
That's the goal! I'm so glad it helped.
So impressive thank you Kait!!
what an amazing video! Thank you for all your hard work putting this together! My wish list after watching:
Glossier Lip Line in grip
Makeup by Mario Ultra Suede Lip Liner in smoky pink
Tower 28 Beauty OneLiner in work of art (idk why I haven't purchased this, so affordable!)
loooooooove those
@@StateofKait oh MOB 1990 too!
Thank you so much for this video, I was on the search for a new lip liner so this video came at the perfect time
Yay!
Just came to see whether you liked Liar. Holy grail and literally the only one I own. Glad you liked it 🙌🏼
love
Hey Kait I love your videos so I just wanted to add that Clio recently added 2 new colors to their lip pencils so now it’s 6 in total , amazing video btw you always describe everything very explicitly and accurately so thank you for that cause not many beauty content creators do that anymore 🤍🤍🤍
No way, I’m so excited! I’ll check them out. And thank you for the love ❤
The Thumper inserts! More of those please.
Roger that!
Wild. This was fantastic. Thank you for ALL your efforts on this!!!
Thanks!
Thanks for all your hard work!
My pleasure!
This was epic! I really enjoyed it, thank you!
Totally get your point about the MAC lip pencil. I find them somewhat laborious to apply too. But generally, the stiffer formulas tend to last longer on my lips.
Well done. 👏🏼 Appreciate the research and details. Kudos for all the work on the B-roll footage. Very much appreciate the 0:34 Thumper cameo.
Woohoo! Now that’s commitment! Thanks for working hard on this! ❤
it was such a beast of a video! lol
I hate lip liners, but still watched the entire video. Thank you for your commitment ❤ loved it
You are so sweet!
THIS VIDEO IS FIRE AF!!! Go you! Thank you!
😂😂
Yes, thank you so much! The work you put in is so much but we love you for it.
I appreciate you!
Omg yes!!! I was just thinking about lip liners and wondering why u haven't posted in a while 🎉😊
This video destroyed me, that's why 😂 This video was legitimately a full-time job.
@StateofKait 😆 oh dear... but I'm really enjoying this video , thank you... 😊
This was a great video and very comprehensive! You even introduced me to a few brands I've never heard of. Thank you for all of your effort!
Wonderful, in depth review of a much needed category. Thank you, thank you! I hope to pick up a couple of them, based on your remarks. However, I’m not completely clear on which are mechanical (my strong preference) vs. wood ones (your apparently preferred ones). If you ever do another, could you please indicate that - just an M next to the listed name is all it would take. Thanks again for all your hard work!
Fantastic video! So much work! I purchased one of the LA girl shock wave lip liners from 5 below. It was in a display right next to the LA colors lip liners, and I had heard they were sister brands. So I picked up one of those as well in the gel liner. I think they're the same formula! The LA colors one was equally long wearing and creamy as the la girl, and I'm overjoyed because they were only 2.50 and the color range was different. I'm pretty sure they had a cool tone mauve.
I really like the LA Girl lipsticks.
@@Hello-Stoiko thanks! I should try them
I’m sure I’m not the first person to say this but you and Hannah Alonso sound SO alike. When I have auto play on sometimes I’m like, wait… Hannah does makeup content now?! But it’s you in all your brilliance! ❤
Finally! A normal looking person doing a REAL beauty channel instead of the filler/filter diva scamming “brand influencer” we see now. I can’t relate to those influencers
wow girl you are hard working!!!!!
Incredible deep dive!
Yes! Agree with your mauve comment!!!! Seriously!
Many thanks Kait, your video is perfect!
I love the fitglow liner and you are so right that it’s underrated. It’s the only lipliner I’ve tried that actually feels somewhat nourishing!
Good job covering so many options!
I beyond loved this video and appreciate all your hard work. You are stellar!!!!!!!!!!!!! Try the Sephora lipliner in Belleflower - it has lots of pigment although the purple shade might be a bit wild for you!
thanks!
Absolutely Great Video ❤
Thank you!
Commenting as I’m watching… I just got the Lisa Eldridge 0N lipliner during the spaceNK sale. When I get, I’ll DM you swatch and thoughts!
thanks!!
Colourpop is my go to liner!
ColourPop Cool BFF and Ashton are my favorite lip liners! I'm always looking for other cool-toned liners, THANKS SO MUCH for this!
cool bff is soooooo good. Need to check out Ashton!
@@StateofKait I was just looking at my MbM Smokey Pink too. It's my fave out of his line. I'm a cool, super desaturated light olive and I'm all about the cooler, pink/purple/greige colors, they seem to be the only ones that don't turn an ugly orange on me. :)
The effort you put in to your videos especially this one is unmatched. There is not enough thanks for the work here and it’s SO appreciated! I can’t wait to pick up a few of these ❤
I totally agree with the NYX lip liner. I got multiple because made good experiences that were pigmented and I had no issues applying until I came across ‚natural‘, my lips hurt just because I was pushing so hard to see at least some color…
DAMNNNNN GURL you killed this!
Thanks!
Love this video. So informative.
I only have access to Colorpop, but I love it. I was thinking on trying Maybelline, but I won't spend my money on it, based on your trusted review. ❤
Glad it was helpful! And it depends on your preferences, just because I didn’t like it doesn’t mean you won’t. I didn’t love the shade
❤ you’re the best! So helpful!!!!
Bloody amazing video. Not sure why you are not happy with it, but we all think it's great! ❤
Thanks! The lighting isn’t *quite* right on the application clips but I’m a bit of a perfectionist 😂
@@StateofKait well that's obviously why the video is so fantastic ☺️
I Enjoyed this so much! Thank you for taking the time to make it and your in-depth review of these products! ❤
I'm so glad!
Round of applause 👏 As always, your deep dives are amazing! The detailed descriptions, the wide range of products, and the b-roll swatch clips are so so helpful. Wearing makeup by Mario Smokey pink today!
Thank you!
New fan and follower! I find these videos so valuable! Although, I’m a brunette with brown/hazel eyes - We have such a similar skin tone and pretty much every blush, complexion, and lip liner recommendation you make works perfect for me. Which is tough when you’re very neutral, everything looks too warm on me. Also, I find your voice so relaxing. Keep up the great work! BTW, you look radiant in that Ivory top- great color. Just curious, do you know your color season?
Awww thank you! Apparently I’m a spring
This is a masterpiece. Thank you for doing such a comprehensive review!
My pleasure!
You are the best at explaining and detailing out all of this for us. Thank you!
Awwww anytime
I appreciate all of the hard work you put into your videos!
