Makeup pro Laura Geller never steers us wrong. The 65-year-old founder of Laura Geller Beauty is an industry leader in creating quality makeup for mature skin, and lucky for us, she always makes sure to share her best makeup tips. Most recently, she divulged her best ones for achieving fuller-looking lips—as well as her favorite lip liner for the job, the Laura Geller Modern Classic Lip Liner.

You might be wondering: Is lip liner really necessary in your makeup routine? The answer is yes, according to Geller—especially for mature women. “We tend to lose shape in our eyes, in the volume of our cheeks—and in our lips shape,” she explains. “We get softer, our lips get thinner.”

To counteract this, using a lip liner is key, she says. “Everybody wants to do the quick, quick thing which is just stroke on a quick lipstick or put on a quick gloss,” she notes. “Women shied away from using lip liner in the last decade or so because it takes time and accuracy a little bit. But it’s so worth those few extra seconds because it really gives you shape back to your lips.”

Geller’s go-to is the Modern Classic Liner from her brand, which comes in eight shades. The pro uses one special trick to achieve fuller-looking lips: “When I need to go out for the day or do something where I really want to take the time to make sure my lips look as full as possible, I take it and not just outline my lip, but I fill in my whole lip with it because it’s creamy enough. It has vitamin E,” she says.

The silky, matte lip liner is also formulated with shea butter and candelilla wax, which help hydrate and nourish skin. It comes in a retractable twist-up design (so you never have to sharpen it!), with a unique slanted tip that allows for easy application. Plus, the formula is waterproof and transfer-proof. Geller says that this long-lasting lip liner doesn’t “feather” or “migrate” when applied. “What I love about [it] is that it doesn’t bleed into the lines around the mouth,” she says. “And you can top it off with a little gloss after if you want to, or maybe your favorite lipstick.”

The lip product has glowing reviews from customers, too. “I absolutely love this lipliner! It goes above and beyond most liners I’ve used...It doesn’t move or bleed like most liners. It also doesn’t pull, pill, or clump,” shared one Amazon shopper who gave it a perfect five stars. “It glides on so smoothly and lasts for hours. I highly recommend.”
