TOP TIP FOR LIPS: No Bleeding Lips is an invisible liner that helps lipstick stay put.

Relax or a minute and let me paint a picture for you. Cast your mind back to the 90s, when Mariah Carey was at the height of her fame and baggy jeans and belly button piercings were all the rage.

Now think lips. Pammy, Mariah, Naomi Campbell – they all had the same look. Nude lipsticks spread on thick, and purple – yes, purple lip liner. Blame the 90s. They killed lip liner. They planted phobias in the minds of the current generation, who panic when they see a tube of lip liner.

But it's a pity, because that teeny tube of product has its uses. One of the reasons I rarely wear lipstick is because of the constant reapplication required to keep it looking fresh. I eat it off. I kiss it off. It runs down my chin and blends itself into the corners of my mouth.

Last week, I came across No Bleeding Lips. I assumed it was a first-aid product for mountaineers, but no, the product was a clear lip pencil, designed to stop your lipstick from bleeding.

Like a rubber door stop, it has a gripping texture that stops your lippy from wandering where it shouldn't.

I couldn't abide the name, so began to call it my Secret Lip Liner. I wore my secret liner for the day, and while I still ate my lippy off, with my new invisible friend to keep it at bay, it stayed well away from the corners of my mouth and chin.

No Bleeding Lips Secret Lip Liner, $29 from Len Hooper Pharmacy in Lower Hutt, or from nobleedinglips.com.
