Anyway, back to why we're all here- the lip looks. Below I've shared some of my favourite lip looks at the moment. The majority of them are high street based lip products so they are easily affordable if you fancy trying any of them out for yourselves.
The 'this is what my lips naturally look like- I'm secretly Kylie Jenner' look
So this is my current go-to look. It's such an easy way to boost your natural lips by adding a bit more colour and shape. The Maybelline Color Drama lip pencil in Nude Perfection (630) is a beautiful corally-nude shade and can be worn completely on its own as the liner is a very creamy formula. I like to use this all over my lips and then add a bit of Rimmel London Colour Rush balm in Drive me Nude (10) to give my lips a touch of shine. The final outcome is a gorgeous warm nude colour which goes perfectly with khaki/olive green eyeshadow shades.
The 'sweet and nice' look
As the sun has started to appear a little bit recently I've been reaching for my Urban Decay Naked lip gloss in Liar as you can't beat a glossy finish on a cheery day! Urban Decay have got this nude colour spot on and the smell of the gloss is absolutely dreamy.
To help the gloss last a bit longer, I have been adding a light layer of Rimmel London Exaggerate lip liner in Eastend snob. As you probably already know, this liner is a brilliant high street dupe for Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk lip liner but at a fraction of the price. The formula creamy again so it is very easy to apply as a light base which can be blended into the lips before applying the gloss.
The 'yes, I can pull off deep plum' look
This is one of my favourite looks when I feel like wearing bold daytime lips. As I'm a big fan of the velvety feel and lasting power of the Maybelline Color Drama lip pencil, I purchased another one for this look in the shade Berry Much (310). Like the first lip look, this pencil can be worn on its own, however when paired with this Soap and Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick in Raplumzel. The two shades together create a gorgeous deep plum colour which lasts for ages (I've tested this look over many yummy meals and trust me- it lasts!). I usually wear this look with a light blush on the cheek and just a thick eyeliner flick look on my eyes.
The 'I'm slightly bolder than nude' look
This everyday easy lip look features my much loved Rimmel London Exaggerate lip liner in Eastend snob again as a base. This shade matches perfectly with my Rimmel Kate Lasting Finish Lipstick in 08. Everyone can pull off this look as it really is only a little bit bolder than a natural nude look. Both of these Rimmel products leave lips feeling moisturised and have a rather nice scent- what more could you want?!
The 'sophisticated and slightly gothic but not too gothic' look
For my last look I've gone a bit vampy (but not in a scary way, I promise). This look consists of Rimmel London Exaggerate lip liner in Obsession to shape the lips and stop any colour bleeds and . This shade matches perfectly with my Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in Starry eyed (128).
The two colours work really well together and they create a deep reddish/brown shade. I love to wear this look with a fresh dewy finish on my face and subtle contouring using Illamasqua Cream Pigment in Hollow (as featured in the picture above).
And where they all live
To make these lip looks easy to grab and use in the morning, I store them in my Muji Acrylic drawer set. This lipsticks/glosses/liners that I keep in here change based on my current favourites and the weather (is that weird?).
The MAC Pro Lip pallete in Editorial Reds which you can spot in the bottom left of this picture is new and I cannot wait to review it soon. My lovely friends treated me to it for my birthday and I'm so excited to have a play around with blending the colours!
What are your favourite lip looks? Can you recommend any good lip brushes for applying my new MAC lip products?
