Truth: In general, women have had a love-hate relationship with lip pencils through the '80s, '90s, and early 2000s. Whether the pencil is too dark or two drawn-out, the results can go astray—fast. Adding a lip liner in a natural shade, however, can make your lips look younger, poutier, and more defined. Choose a color that's either the same shade as your lips or the same shade as your lipstick.
