Given the degree of difficulty most fans and customers encounter while trying to shop and obtain one, Kylie Lip Kits have legit earned "cult" status among makeup products. Why are they so hotly desired? Well, these magic, matte textured liquid lipsticks give you that super defined, Kylie Jenner-like pout. I have nabbed two Kylie Lip Kits and can attest that the suede-like texture is divine and almost feels like eye shadow, doesn't budge when painted on your pucker, and imparts that velvety and voluptuous look. Matte lips are in right now and KLKs are the gold standard when it comes to achieving that sexy lip look. The Lip Kits are packaged in tubes with a doe-foot wand. Is that all you need to achieve the perfectly traced pout? Do Kylie Lip Kits come with lip liners or do you need to buy one separately?
The Kylie Lip Kits do come with an accompanying lip liner. The Kylie Cosmetics-supplied liners are creamy and don't pull or tug at tender lip skin. They are also expertly coordinated with the liquid lipstick shade. They are perfectly matched pairs and they are better together.
So, no, you don't need to buy a separate lip liner to wear to wear with a Kylie Lip Kit... unless you want to.
But you should probably use the one provided since the texture is divine and you paid for it. The Kylie Lip Kits are $29, which may seem a tad expensive for a lipstick. But when you consider the price includes both the lipstick and liner, the cost falls right in line with most luxe lipsticks.
Plus, the Kylie Lip Kit really is a special product and trumps most other liquid lippies on the market. So it's worth the price, which is twice as nice.
You can skip lip liner altogether when applying your KLK lipstick.
But personally, I think it looks better when you trace lips with the liner first and then fill in with the lipstick. That is a suggestion Jenner herself provides on the back of the Lip Kit box.
The matte lip look is meant to be precise and you get the precision via the liner.
Here's to hoping another KLK restock is on the way.
