Lip pencils

Which lip pencil brand would be the most long-lasting? Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Lip Liner Iconic Nude  doesn’t last very long for me

@ebonyhelene I would 500% agree with @WinglessOne about the PAT McGRATH LABS Permagel Ultra Lip Pencil formula being amazing.  That has to be my longest-lasting pencil formula that I own.

@ebonyhelene  If long-lasting = long wearing (doesn't fade/disappear quickly from lips): the best I've ever used is PAT McGRATH LABS Permagel Ultra Lip Pencil. The shade Structure might be closest to CT shade Iconic Nude but don't quote me on that... Sephora doesn't carry every shade available, so check Pat McGrath's site to see 'em all. 

A less expensive option is SEPHORA COLLECTION Retractable Rouge Gel Lip Liner. I just recently tried some of these and they're impressive performers. Pat's lip liners are still my gold standard, but these Sephora liners are no slouch.

@WinglessOne I thought PMG structure was close to CT Iconic Nude till I did a look today with it.  Structure is darker than Iconic Nude for me.

@SportyGirly125  Thanks for verifying! I don't have the CT liner, so I couldn't say for sure without seeing anyone's comparison swatches online. I do have Structure, but the only CT lip liner shade I have is Pillow Talk. PMG Buff or Contour might be closer to Iconic Nude, I dunno. Hopefully @ebonyhelene has a local Sephora that stocks PMG and CT to do some in-store swatch comparisons. 🙂

@WinglessOne @Hopefully she can go into the store. I bought PMG Contour before and it was almost the same as CT Iconic Nude for me.  PMG Buff was too pink for me.

@ebonyhelene you can try MAC lip pencils
