Youngblood Lip Liner Pencil Pinot 1.1g

Lip liner in deep wine red for a rich, dark lip

Dark lips instantly give a look character. Wine red and berry shades are especially popular in autumn and winter, but they look great with an evening look all year round. With such deep colours, a precise contour is essential, because every deviation shows straight away.

The Youngblood Lip Liner Pencil Pinot is a creamy lip liner in a rich, deep wine red. The formula glides over the lips without skipping or dragging and gives a defined line with a soft matte finish. According to Youngblood, the pencil helps keep the colour in place for longer without drying out the lips. Vitamin E provides a comfortable feel.

Colour: Pinot is the deepest shade in the range: a rich wine red. Truly Red is brighter and more classic, Plum softer and more mauve.

Active ingredients

The key ingredients of the pencil:

Vitamin E: Listed in the ingredients as tocopherol. According to Youngblood, it nourishes and softens the lips, so the pencil glides smoothly. This keeps the line comfortable, even when you wear it all day.

Candelilla and carnauba wax: Plant-based waxes that give the pencil its shape and firmness. This keeps the tip fine, so you can draw a neat, even line.

Olive oil esters: Hydrogenated olive oil esters give the formula its creamy, soft texture. They make sure the pencil doesn't drag on the lips.

Ascorbyl palmitate: A form of vitamin C that works as an antioxidant in the formula. It helps keep the oils and waxes stable.

Iron oxides and colour pigments: Give the rich, full colour with a soft matte finish. Even light pressure gives you a clear line. In Pinot, they create the rich, deep wine red colour.

Frequently asked questions

Isn't Pinot too dark?

Pinot is a bold shade, but you can also wear it softly. Dab the colour into the centre of your lips with your finger and blend outwards for a stained, softer effect. For a full, dramatic lip, fill in your whole lip.

Which lipsticks does Pinot go with?

Pinot goes with wine red, berry, burgundy and plum shades. Under a dark red lipstick, it also adds extra hold and depth. For a bright red, Truly Red is the better match.

What is the difference between Pinot and Plum?

Pinot is a deep wine red, Plum a muted plum mauve. Pinot is darker and more dramatic, Plum softer and easier for daytime.

How do I prevent smudges with a dark lip?

Fill in your lips completely with Pinot, blot with a tissue and apply a second layer. This helps the colour adhere well so it shifts less. Tidy the edge with a little concealer if needed for an extra defined line.

How do I keep Pinot neat at the corners of my mouth?

A dark colour bleeds fastest at the corners of the mouth. Use the fine tip of the pencil to draw a short, straight line there, and only then connect it to the rest of the contour. Blot away any excess with a tissue and tidy the edge with concealer if needed. That way, Pinot stays neat even after a few hours.
