This is my third shade of these liners, which are my second favourite formula behind Bourjois Contour Edition . They have a good formula for precise definition and filling in the lips, though they are less soft than their popular predecessors. I already have a review of other two shades if you're interested in swatches of those.  Formula: This new version is less creamy than the previous, so they last longer and are a lot more precise, but despite the waxier texture they are not drying. The first version of their lipliners was very creamy and smudgy, so getting a crisp line was impossible, however, they were a nice substitute for a lipstick because you could fill in the entire lips without that drying, chalky feeling. The new soft contouring ones are still creamy and easy to apply, but the Soft Contouring ones are a lot more waxy, so they don't move or smudge and you don't need to constantly sharpen them either.  Shade: 08 big proposal is a shade that's close to my n...

Essence discontinued their Longlasting lipliners which were some of my favourites and they replaced them with these Draw the Line Instant Colour Lipliners. Both are automatic liners with a sharpener in the back, so actually the only difference in the packaging is the colour of the cap. Originally I thought these are exactly the same as the previous version, which to me was a good thing already and then when I was making swatches I noticed these are actually an improved formula, so I'm even happier about that. Texture : These behave much the same as the old Longlasting liners, meaning they are creamy, smooth, pigmented and easy to apply (also all over the lips). They aren't super precise like harder, more waxy liners are, but they still precise enough and do the job of keeping the lipstick in place as well as shape the lips better. Colour : I got 05 so un-grey-tful which is a cool greyish mauve shade. Compared to Plum Cake from the previous line it's darker and more greyish...

Essence's previous version of classic lipliners were some of the most liked lip pencils in the drugstore and praised for their softness, so it came as quite a surprise that they discontinued them. Some shades were probably part of the line for probably the longest out of all their products (impressive considering they usually last no more than a year) and they switched the entire line with these called Soft Contouring. I haven't seen many reviews about these, so I'm not sure how fans of these reacted, but I disliked the previous version and find these a big improvement. Texture: The first version of their lipliners was very creamy and smudgy, so getting a crisp line was impossible, however, they were a nice substitute for a lipstick because you could fill in the entire lips without that drying, chalky feeling. The new soft contouring ones are still creamy and easy to apply, but now they are a lot more waxy, so they don't move or smudge and you don't need to consta...
