I really like these. They are always the first lip liners I reach for from my bag. They have decent staying power, never bleed, never need sharpened and are not drying. I have several colors, but my fave is Baby Buff bc it perfectly matches my natural lip color so I can wear with anything.

They have some great colors and I bought 4 before I realized that every time I wore these my lips buzzed. The ingredients read okay for me but I think the carmine and the red dyes in these reacted for me so I had to return these. I was bummed. The 4 I chose were neutrally(close to my natural lip color for warm toned lip choices), lipblush (more brown toned), rose (very close to my lip color and more cool toned) and berry. The only color I didn't absolutely love was lipblush because it contained obvious sparkles and because it was so brown--seemed misnamed! For ref I am light nc 25 with some color to my lips. I next went to Target and bought Boots lipliners for a cheaper option. We'll see how that goes. Why is keeping color on my lips so freaking HARD?

I buy this over and over again in the color Soft Rose. I usually try to wait until there is a Clinique GWP and buy two of these, so I always have backups. The color, for me, is almost identical to my lip color. I like to use this for a base. I also like it under lipgloss, to make them a little bit pinker, if they are really sheer. I mostly buy this because it doesn't need sharpening, I hate carrying a sharpener because they can be so messy. The only drawback is that sometimes when it gets close to being used up, it breaks. I have had that happen a couple times. But this lasts a pretty long time for me, with daily use. Will continue to rebuy.

Ehh, I'm not a fan of Clinique makeup, and this product is no exception.

Some people enjoy the convenience of a mechanical pencil, but I find that they usually contain less product, break, and do not taper to fine enough points for precise application.

Though I will admit that this lip liner has an excellent wear time and really does keep feathering at bay, it also has a very dry and chalky finish. Not cute.

It's decent, but I won't buy again.

EDIT READ FIRST : it some how got a lot drying and then i tried some combos w/o it and they looked a tad better. so no i would no longer buy again

This lip liner + a frosty gloss is amazing. It can sometimes be a little drying. I wouldn't recommend it to someone who doesn't like the feeling of makeup. Because at times, it feels like a lot. Best applied over chap stick. I love it. Feels really nice with gloss.

Happy Shopping <3

BTW I have the color Tawny Tulip<3

EXCELLENT! I got the deep red along with the WRONG high impact lipstick to pair it with-gads-opted for Becca Cherrybomb lip tint instead.

Its:
Easy to apply
Long lasting
Creamy texture
No sharp lines

This is worth the extra buck in comparison to cheaper liners and makes my lips look fuller and the application means no blending smudging harsh lines etc etc. I'm also going to get the sky violet or one as these are the perfect formulation and application for YLBB. My only qualm would be it lasted so well that I had the pornstar lips effect once the Becca wore out even though I did fill my lips with it. (But then I'm pretty critical)

Perfect.

I have this liner in shade #10 Baby Buff, and it is nearly identical to my lip color-- just a tad lighter, but I think that's good for a more natural look. Creamy consistency. Stays on pretty long. I've never bought a lip liner before, so I have nothing to compare this to, but I really like it so far.

HG Lip Liner! I own two of these Quickliners, #36 Soft Rose (medium MLBB rose) and #12 Deep Red (a rich medium red). Nice lipliners: they don't dry out my lips, no clumpiness and decent staying power. I just wished Clinique also would release a paler pink shade to pair with paler pink lipsticks.

I like the color (all spice) but the product doesn't last. So disappointed because I never have licked or drank anything to make it wipe off...so I don't know what to say, I guess I'll just stick with simple brands with the same color.

I use the Baby Buff shade under just about everything. This particular color is great for liner virgins of most lip colors, though if you are blessed with particularly dark lips, this probably will be too light. Soft and with good staying power, this liner gives extended life to the glosses and occasional lipsticks I apply over it.

Bleck. Dry, hard, point breaks off during almost every application. Overall: cruddy.

My favourite color is cocoa rose (natural,nude rose). I've bought at least 4 so far. It doesn't need a sharperner, just twist and apply. Feel soft and creamy when applying yet stays on very well.I use it to line my lips and fill the whole lips with the lip liner before applying lipstick or lipgloss. Even the lipstick or lipgloss goes off after meal, my lips still show a natural hint of rose color.It's the best lipliner I've tried so far.

I purchased chocolate chip, a burgundy matte with decent staying power and is a bit drying. With my medium warm skin I can wear this on top of lip balm without having it look too harsh. However, I normally wear this underneath lipstick or lipgloss to tone down a shade that’s too bright.

I got my first Quickliner in Cocoa Peach and am quite impressed. I am not a fan of Clinique AT ALL, but BB discontinued my favorite liner and I couldn't ignore the MUA reviews for this one. My fav BB was a pencil and constantly needed to be sharpened. I love that the Clinique does not need to be sharpened and does not get dull like a pencil and draws softer than a pencil. It's easy to use and lines my lips nicely. Average amount of lasting power. Cocoa Peach is a tad redder than the peach I was looking for. I may try this in a pinker shade. UPDATE: I have replaced this with MAC Cremestick liner in Creamkiss. Same automatic pencil, better peach color.

I'm very unimpressed with this liner. The pigmentation is beautiful, but it's a clumpy liner! No one wants clumps of lip liner on their lips. I mean, really, who cares if it controls bleeding or feathering, if it's leaving little clumps of colored schmutz around the edges of your lips? Since I can buy the MAC lip pencil for less money and think it's 100 times better, I'm ditching this Clinique Quickliner.

I got this is a free sample in honeystick and it matches my natural lipcolor really well. I just line my lips with this for more definition and add some lipgloss or lipbalm on top of it. looks really natural, my own lips but better. lasts fairly well. I defenately will purchase.

This product in "lipblush" is my staple. I don't like wearing lipstick unless I have to and this works to define my lips without looking like they're outlined, then I just put on gloss and I'm good to go. (works great with lipstick too when I have to put it on!)

I have been using this liner in Cocoa Rose daily since late winter and I just ran out. It's a nice, creamy liner. I usually line the lips then fill in the rest of the lip with the color. It's really natural looking at it never drags or feels dry on the lips. I will definitely replace this

My lips are very sensitive and feel dry easily so I try to avoid using liner because I find most are too drying and don't feel comfortable on the lips. This liner isn't as dry as most and I think this might be because it's not in pencil form. There is a good range of colours, they wear well and stay true to colour. The liners last for ages so the value for money is very reasonable. I have a couple of these and would buy more.

This liner (#28 Cocoa Rose) goes on smoothly and lasts a long time, but I can get the same results for about half the price of a department store brand.
