One topic I really haven’t blogged much about is my favorite lip products. (I have a lot of them!) I don’t know about you guys, but I always tend to gravitate toward neutrals — specifically colors that fall within the rosey nude and mauve family.*
*I will add a caveat that I recently tried this Urban Decay Vice Lip Bond in a bold red, and I might start going bold more often!
I love playing around with different lip liners, lipsticks, and lip gloss combinations, so I figured I’d share two combos that I’ve been wearing a lot lately.
Even if you wear just the lipsticks on their own, each of these shades has my enthusiastic stamp of approval. I’d honestly consider them the be the best lip combos out there!
Best Lip Combos
PRO TIP: If you’re not already a Sephora Beauty Insider, I highly recommend signing up. IT’s FREE to join and there are a ton of fab perks. For ex: when I ordered the Armani and Rare Beauty lipsticks featured below, I was able to get $10 off by applying points I had accumulated over the past few months.
Rosey Nude Lip Combo
Ok I am in love with this combo! It really makes your lips look plump and juicy, but also extremely natural. I use the Pillow Talk lip cheat to overline my bottom lip and top lip (just in the center, not down the sides or in the corners!) There’s a reason why they call it “lip cheat” — you can literally cheat your way to fuller-looking lips, and who doesn’t want that?
I then fill things in with the Armani Lip Power. The pointed shape of the Armani tip is incredible for application and I honestly wish every lipstick was shaped like this! It gives you a really precise application and is easy for even beginners to use. Plus, the formula is gorgeous and super creamy.
Finishing with a touch of the Fenty gloss in the center really gives you that juicy, full pout. This gloss is hands-down one of my favorite lip products. I always have it in my purse and think it looks stunning to wear even on its own.
The Lipstick:
Armani Lip Power Long Lasting Satin Lipstick
Shade: 109 Intimate – medium beige rose
The Liner:
Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Lip Liner
Shade: Pillow Talk
The Gloss:
FENTY Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer
Shade: $weetmouth – shimmering soft pink
Muted Mauve Lip Combo
Perhaps it’s because I’m a child of the ’90s, but I liiiiive for a good mauve lip. This combo in particular is great because it’s not like a muddy rusty mauve — it’s muted and subtle, with peachy undertones. This makes it a perfect choice to wear during the summer and fall months.
I love the combination of lining with Makeup by Mario’s Sculpting Lip Pencil in Rich Mauve (which creates a darker shadow around the lips) and then filling in with the matte Rare Beauty lipstick in the shade Worthy. If you like a matte lip, you could totally just stop there!
Feeling up for more? You can add one of my all-time favorite glosses: Pat McGrath’s Peach Perversion. It adds a lightness and touch of shimmer to the look. Plus, it feels so hydrating, which I always appreciate.
The Lipstick:
Rare Beauty Kind Words Matte Lipstick
Shade: Worthy – muted mauve
The Liner:
Makeup by Mario Ultra Suede® Sculpting Lip Pencil
Shade: Rich Mauve
The Gloss:
Pat McGrath Labs Lust Lip Gloss
Shade: Peach Perversion
I’d love to know what your ride-or-die lip colors and combos are so I can test them out myself. Please leave them in the comment section below!
