Women and lipsticks are deeply connected. But there is another lip product that complements those gorgeous lip colors perfectly. Yes, I’m talking about lip liners. A lip liner should be a must if you are a lipstick person. It helps you contour your lips beautifully, increases the staying power of your lip color, and prevents bleeding. So, when I found this Lotus Herbals Seduction Lip Contour Definer (Coral Pink) online, the first thing that caught my attention was its name, which sounded apt for getting a pair of defined lips. So, I decided to give it a try. Read on to know more about it.

Ingredients
The complete ingredient list is not present in the packaging. However, the active ingredients include:
- Extracts of Symphytum Officinale (it has emollient and healing properties)
- Plantago Ovata Seed (emollient, cooling, and astringent action)
- Sambucus Nigra Seed (anti-pigmentation, antiseptic, and softening properties)
Packaging
Lotus Herbals Seduction Lip Contour Definer comes in excellent retractable pencil packaging of good quality plastic. The color of the packaging is similar to the product, which makes it easier to identify. In addition, the product comes with a sharpener at the bottom of its packaging. If you think that retractable pencils cannot be sharpened, this one is absolutely for you. As a whole, the packaging is sturdy and very smart.
Look And Feel
The texture of the lipliner is smooth, and it glides effortlessly over the lips. But the texture is a bit drying and not very creamy. So, if you have dry lips, using a lip balm underneath is a must.
My Take On Lotus Herbals Seduction Lip Contour Definer (Coral Pink)
I’m not a lipstick person. Instead, I prefer filling my lips with a good lip liner and applying a clear lip gloss. As ‘coral’ lip shade is in trend now, I was also looking for a decent coral lip liner. So, when I came across this ‘Coral Pink’ (Shade No. 54) one from Lotus Herbals, I picked it up immediately.
It is a unique and pretty shade that combines three different colors, i.e., fuchsia, orange, and pink. Since the product’s texture is drying, I don’t use it as a full lip color. I love the color; I wish it were creamier for lip shade.
The lip liner is highly pigmented, and one swipe is enough to line my lips. It defines lips well and also increases the staying power of my lipsticks. Moreover, it prevents the bleeding of lipsticks and stays on the lips for 3-4 hours. The sharpener attached at the bottom can shape the lips with more precise lines; then, you can merge the shade with your fingers. The quantity of the product you get at this price is good, and I think it will last longer.
How To Use
Begin by lining your lips slightly on the outside of your natural lip line. Be sure to accentuate your Cupid’s bow and carefully draw an “M” shape on the upper lip. Next, take the liner and draw on the bottom lip, like one line on the center of the lip line. Tighten your lips in an open-mouth smile to achieve this. This is a crucial step. Use the lip liner in short strokes to fill the upper and lower lip lines. Now that you have finished applying the lip liner apply lipstick or lip gloss over the lips! Fill in the lips using a lip brush to blend the lipstick into the line.
