    The best lip liners and lipsticks aren’t super easy to take off. But that’s not such a plus when you’re trying to take it off at the end of the night, which is why you need lip makeup remover. Some lip makeup removers look just like lipstick but when you rub them on they actually take off your color. This is also helpful if you ever put on a shade and decide you don’t like it. You can also find cream lip makeup removers and some that also moisturize your lips when you use them. A few lip makeup removers can also be used to take off eyeliner.
