How to Choose the Right Zarko Lip Liner Shade

Quick answer

To choose the right Zarko lip liner shade, start by matching the liner to your natural lip color for a seamless look, or go one shade darker for definition. For versatility, neutral tones like Biscuit work with many lipsticks, while shades from the Sending Love collection add a personal touch.

How to choose your Zarko lip liner shade

1. Assess your natural lip color: Hold the lip liner pencil next to your bare lips. A shade that closely matches your natural lip color will create a seamless base. If you want more definition, choose a shade one tone deeper. Avoid going more than two shades darker, as it can look obvious. A liner that matches your lips is the safest starting point.
2. Consider your most-used lip products: Look at the lipsticks and glosses you wear most often. If you rotate between pinks, nudes, and berries, a neutral like Biscuit will pair with all of them. If you often wear bold reds or deep plums, pick a liner in a similar color family from a collection like Sending Love. Matching the liner to your lipstick wardrobe prevents buying a shade that only works with one product.
3. Test the shade on your hand or lip: Swatch the liner on the back of your hand to see the true color. Then apply a thin line on your lips and check it in natural light. The shade should blend into your lip color without a harsh border. If the line stands out too much, try a lighter shade. Always test in natural light. Store lighting can make shades look different.
4. Decide on finish and longevity needs: If you want your lip color to last through meals or long days, fill in your entire lip with the liner before applying lipstick. This creates a base that helps color adhere longer. For a quick everyday look, just line and fill lightly. Filling the whole lip with liner extends wear but uses more product. Use sparingly if you want the pencil to last.
