What: Benefit Cosmetics D'finer D'liner
Why: We told you ruby red lips were hot at the Emmys, and we even hunted down the perfect, looks-great-on-everyone shade. But sporting a sexy red pout isn't as easy as it looks. There's one more necessary step in the red lip process and we're going to let you in on it.
Like those fabulous dresses that call for the help of some unseen toupee tape, even the most smudgeproof red lipsticks require a little assistance in staying put. Enter Benefit's D'finer D'liner, a clear lip liner that keeps your lipstick from feathering and bleeding. The invisible formula keeps you from having to match your liner to your lipstick, thus preventing the dreaded too-dark runaround and the chunky shape of the liner pencil ensures that the boundary you draw will keep everything in its proper place. The end result is an even lip line and gorgeous long lasting red lips. Makeup malfunction averted.
