From matte to glossy, blurred to defined — these six lip combos cover the full range. Whether the look calls for something quiet or something with more edge, we have a pairing for it. More below..
A brownish pink that works for every day. The Artist Color Pencil in Versatile Chestnut softly lines the lips while the Glossy Lip Butter follows with pigment and a formula built on Mahua Oil and Shea Butter, designed to nourish as it wears. The final look has range; a buildable brown pink that, along with a swipe of highlighter and mascara, effortlessly goes from AM to PM.
Rhode's peptide lip shaper contours the lips, but skips the strong definition you'd get from a traditional liner — it's softer than that, more like your lips on a good day. Pair it with the Dewy Lip Treatment in Masala Chai from Indē Wild and you've got an everyday nude that enhances what's already there. Yours, but better.
Somewhere between a liner and a shaper, there's Huda Beauty's Lip Contour 2.0. It goes on smooth, almost like a balm, and leaves lips looking fuller without any actual filler — that's the trick of it. Add L'Oréal Paris' Hyaluron Lip Stain Serum in Berry Jolie on top and you've got a serum-stain hybrid built to plump and hydrate as it wears. The berry-hued tones of the contour and stain serum meld together beautifully and the finish is so weightless, you will almost forget that you have anything on.
An unexpected pairing that just makes sense. Merit's Signature Lip Sheer Lip Liner goes on like a pencil but doubles as filler too, thanks to its rounded tip that feels ultra comfortable on the lips. Layer it with Violette FR's Bisou Jelly — a sheer balm-meets-lipstick with a pigmented core and jelly outer layer — in the shade Confiture De Figue, and you get that signature lived-in, French-girl look.
An easy, everyday pink — MAC's Lip Pencil in Whirl lines without skipping or dragging, with a smudge-resistant formula that grips the lips for long wear. Layered with Rhode's Peptide Lip Tint in Salty Tan, it settles into a polished pink that's versatile enough to flatter most skin tones and work from day to night.
Smudge-proof, transfer-proof and kiss-proof for up to twelve hours — that's Huda Beauty's Lip Contour Stain for you. The shade Rosy Mauve pairs well with Indē Wild's Dewy Lip Treatment in Glazed Jalebi and creates a multi-dimensional, shimmering finish that flatters most skin tones.
