I suppose I'm finally at an age where lipstick feathering is starting to be an issue...when wearing darker shades there is indeed a slight feathering along my lower lip. I saw this 2-for-1 deal Paula's offering (Pay $7.95 for lipstick AND lipliner) and went for it. Well I'm happy to report this lipliner really does work in holding feathering at bay. I paired this with Clinique's "Angel Red" and Maybelline's "Red Red Wine" - both lipstick are of the light, glossy kind that could bleed in a couple of hours. Paula's lipiner was able to do what it claims to do, so it's money well spent. On its own it retails for $6.95 US.
