- Smooth & Gliding: The high concentration of silicones (Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane/Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethiconyl Tosylate, Trimethylsiloxysilicate) provides an exceptionally smooth, slippery texture that allows the liner to apply effortlessly without tugging on the delicate lip skin.
- Creamy & Blendable: The combination of synthetic wax, microcrystalline wax, and emollient oils (Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride) creates a creamy, malleable texture that is precise yet can be softened and blended for a gradient effect.
- Lightweight & Comfortable: Volatile silicones give an initial light, fluid texture that sets down without feeling heavy or greasy on the lips.
- Long-Lasting & Transfer-Resistant: The film-forming agents (Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Dimethicone/Phenyl Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer) and waxes create a flexible, water-resistant film that locks color in place, minimizing smudging and feathering (bleeding).
- Precise Application: The waxy structure and firmness of the pencil format allow for sharp, detailed lining and defining of the lip contour.
- Improved Adhesion: Ingredients like Dimethiconyl Tosylate help the product adhere better to the skin, enhancing longevity and preventing color from migrating into fine lines.
- Stabilizes Lipstick: Acts as a base to hold lipstick in place, extending its wear time and preventing it from bleeding outside the lip line.
- Plumping Effect: Dimethiconyl Tosylate is a texturizing agent that can create a subtle, smooth filling effect on the lip surface, making lips appear fuller and smoothing fine lines. Some shades also contain Caprylyl Glycol, which can have a mild conditioning and volumizing effect.
- Moisturizing & Conditioning: Emollients (Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Polyisobutene) help to condition the lips, preventing the product from feeling drying. Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) provides antioxidant benefits and helps to moisturize.
- Blurring & Smoothing: Silica and the various silicone derivatives help to create a soft-focus effect, blurring the lip's natural perimeter and any imperfections for a smoother canvas.
- Matte to Natural Matte: The waxes and silica, combined with the pigment load, provide a primarily matte finish. However, the presence of emollients and silicones likely prevents it from being a flat, drying matte, resulting in a more comfortable, velvety matte or natural matte finish.
- Seamless: The formula is designed to set down without a sticky or glossy feel, offering a seamless base that mimics the natural texture of the lips or provides a perfect grip for lipstick.
- Pigmented & Varied Tones: The combination of Iron Oxides and other colorants (CI 15850) provides opaque, buildable color coverage. The different shades (01#, 02#, 03#, 04#) offer a range from nudes to pinks/reds, as indicated by the varying pigment combinations.
This PINKPUNK Lip Liner is formulated to be a smooth-gliding, precise pencil that offers long-wearing, transfer-resistant color with a primary velvety matte finish. Its key targeted benefit is a subtle plumping and line-blurring effect, while also providing moisture and comfort. It functions both as a defining liner and a base to improve overall lip color longevity.
