Do you have a go to lip color (or lip color combination)?
Do you have a go to lip color (or lip color combination)? Share!
Not so much, since I’m usually testing, and even on those few occasions that I’m not… I might just reach for something recently reviewed/tested that I liked. My most worn combo over the past few years is likely Guerlain Gems + Bobbi Brown Canary or Nectar.
Thanks to reader Sadra for today’s question idea Do you have a question idea? Submit yours here.
A light pink such as YSL Nude Beige, MAC Hue, or MAC Creme Cup, or a cool-toned red like MAC Russian Red, Kat Von D Underage Red, or Nars Dragon Girl.
When I want to look sexy it’s smokey gold eyes using the Naked palette or Nars Isolde. False lashes and a red lip.
PURPLE!!! MUFE #14 is my favorite.
No. I wish I did, it would make “lip time” so much easier. I just have too many choices to narrow it down to one.
Either Nars Terre de Feu or Chanel Satisfaction are the ones I’ll use most often.
I tend to use Mac’s Syrup lipstick when I don’t know what else to wear!
My current favorite lip combo is MAC Twig and Smashbox Be Legendary Lip Gloss in Gingerly.
Yes! Rouge D’Armani Brown 201 – I am almost out of my 5th tube!
I am not a big fan of layering but when I need a sophisticated look which needs to last my go to is the YSL glossy stain.. usually #7 or #12!
Well, I tend to switch it up a lot, so my lipsticks all get some usage. Lately, rimmel london 110 and revlon fire and ice have been my go to’s.
That’s the only thing I don’t like about blogging lol. I’m always buying and testing new lipsticks so I never really get a chance to play with lip combos like I want. Lately, I’ve been slipping in a lavender lip combo using MAC Dodgy Girl and NYX Violet that I love though
Lately I’ve been reaching a lot for L’oreal Fairest Nude whenever I don’t know what to wear, it usually goes great with whatever…makes me feel like I’m neglecting my other lip colors since I’ve bought it, but it really does look great with almost everything! I’m also a big fan of Milani Nude Creme, it never lets me down.
My go to lip colour is Rimmel’s Kate Moss lipstick in number 07.
Most definitely! Although I always have several lipsticks and glosses on rotation (trying to use them up!), my go-to is always some srot of peachy/pinky/coral colour, preferably with a little bit of shimmer/glitter. Case in point: Revlon Peach Parfait, and (funny you should post this just now) Marc Jacobs Have We Met?
Nyx Butter Gloss in Tiramisu 😀 cause it’s fast and pretty and when or after I eat or just if some kind of impurities get on my lips I can just easily wipe it off with the back of my hand and reapply 😀 and it’s pinky-nude
I used to wear a lil Sleek gloss in Rumour all the time till it got used up :/ I doubt I’ll find it again for sale 🙁 it was also a nude-pink shade, but more pink than brown. it was veryyyy moisturizing and applied a tiny bit better(both do well, though)
Whatever nude shade I grab first… I’m not too particular when it comes to lip shades, and since all the nude shades I feel work best are in a separate bin, I just reach for one, and go with it.
Oh yes, coral, for sure! And all my-lips-but-better pinks and reds.
Younique! I love combining Luxe (which is the perfect neutral shade on its own) with Luscious!
YSL Rouge Volupte Shine in Corail In Touch(14) or YSL Rouge Pur Couture in RoseCarnation+YSL Rouge Pur Couture in Le Fuchsia. I know so much YSL product LOL but they are so creamy but pigmented and never make my lip dry 😉
Lately my go-to lipcolor has been Clarins’ lipbalm in My Pink. Wish it weren’t LE!
Not at all. I do have groupings which I favour and I tend to rotate amongst those more often.
Chanel’s Mademoiselle is my perfect one. Dab it as a stain and it’s MLBB and apply straight from the bullet and it’s just polished but neutral and it always works for day or night no matter where I am.
NARS Damage. I can wear it year-round.
I have two go to lip colors; Guerlain lip automatique in 100 and Make Up Forever in N4-both colors are soft and neutral, with the Guerlain color being a little pinker than the MUFE.
I like wearing Clinique Nude Beach or Smashbox Honey lipsticks with Mac Viva Glam V on top.
MAC Creme in Your Coffee or Revlon Blase Apricot…both paired with a brown liner from MAC, Jordana, or Milani.
Oooh great question!
I just don’t seem to be able of skipping the MLBB kinda loop.
My go tos for everyday neutral are currently dior charnelle, ysl rouge shine in nude in private, or clinique chubby stick in oversized orange (suprisingly subtle). I usually have at least one of those on me. For more of a pop of color, clinique chubby stick in chunky cherry.
Yes! L’oreal Color Riche in Velvet Rose. It’s a perfect rose lipstick and I really trust in its power 😉
MAC Pink Nouveau is definitely my go-to. It looks good with warm or cool eye looks, and is also professional enough for job interviews or work meetings.
I’ve been wearing this coral lip combo since summer started, and it is:
Revlon lip butter in Tutti Frutti, and Rimmel 3D gloss in Lights Camera Action
MAC Kinda Sexy is my grab and go shade.
Revlon super lustrous lip gloss in kiss me coral over bite beauty cin cin lipstick
MAC Viva Glam 3
MAC On Hold lipstick, definately. It´s the first lipstick that I used up so that says quite a lot 😀
I don’t have a specific shade but I love cool toned hot pinks and fuchsias and rotate between the ones in my stash, adding in new ones as I read about them on Temptalia :). Right now I’m wearing Happy-Go-Lucky, Quick Sizzle, and Kelly Yum Yum a lot. Hot pink is definitely my trademark.
My current go to is Revlon Balm Stain in Sweetheart and Fresh Lip Sugar In Berry. It tones down the Revlon just a bit and darkens it. It’s a smart combo and it lasts very well. I get 5-6 hours easy. It’s very bright but even conservative office appropriate.
My HG, Lancome “The New Pink” topped with any Buxom or Bobbi lipgloss. Loving the Buxom “Ella” right now, a duochrome coral-pink and Bobbi’s “Firefly”.
Also loving lavender-mauve combos that make my eyes look green: MUFE Intense #12 with NYC “Mauving all Night” City Proof 8 hr. gloss or Rimmel Stay Glossy “My Eternity” (great drugstore glosses!) over it; and talk about a budget combo from Ulta: Essence “Sparkling Romance” l/s with the corresponding gloss (which is so loved, I’ve worn the name off—it’s the perfect shade of pinky mauvy-lavender with slight silver sheen)!
No. I really mix it up with lip color more than any other type of makeup. One day I may wear hot pink, the next nude, the next red, and the day after that, maybe a very dark shade. It really varies. I do prefer MAC lip color, though.
If I’m in a hurry and don’t know what I want to wear, I automatically will wear MAC Kinda Sexy, sometimes paired with Spice lip pencil. 🙂
A pink-nude color is usually my favorite since I typically go for a heavy eye.
I have so many lipsticks, I feel obliged to wear them all! I usually match them to my eye make-up which changes every day! Depends on what I’m accentuating. If it’s the eyes, I go for a natural pink colour. If I’m short of time, I’ll try and distract attention from my eyes and wear a stronger lipstick.
So many to choose from. I’ve been rocking Dior Addict lipstick on Tulle with Chanel Giggle glossimer. Or Burberry Fieldrose and Mac ample pink..! Nude I know can’t help it!!:)
When I’m in a rush I’ll usually grab my MAC, Hug Me. It’s a flesh toned nude.
I just found it! It’s Chanel Glossimer in Giggle. Perfect color. Perfect amount of shine that is sparkle free. I surprised at the wear time too! The “glossy factor” doesn’t necessarily stay strong, but the color does. I LOVE it.
I think the colour I reach for the most is Red…warmer or coral red in Spring/Summer and cooler or plummy red in Autumn/Winter. Not sure if it’s because I accidentally bought six tubes of them and need to use them up or simply because red lips do look better on me.
NB. I don’t own any plummy red. To achieve that I apply Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain 020 Lovesick on top of Shiseido The Make Up Perfecting Lipstick P7 Red Luxe.
Usually a nude Smashbox lip gloss or Rimmel Paradise lipstick
Lately it’s been soft pink shades or peachy coral like WnW Within These Adobes but when my hair was blonde I loved mauvey rose shades.
Unfortunately, don’t have one yet. I know that nudes is what I want and don’t even look for anything else, so MAC liquid Passion gloss and Hue (not together though) lipstick seem to be the two I am most happy with at the moment, but I am still in the search for my perfect nude. Although, come to think of it, would be happy if I found a shade similar to MAC’s Sweet &Sour that would suit me 🙂
My go-to lip product is MAC Spice Lipglass because it’s an awesome MLBB shade that goes with everything! When I want a touch more pigment, I layer Spice over MUFE Rouge Artist Natural Lipstick in N9.
A go to lipstick : M.A.C. Russian Red or Wet and Wild Smokin’ Hot Pink. A go to combination: Red lip liner + Nude Matte Lipstick + a hint of a neon Pink lipstick.
I wish I did, As it is, I take a long time chosing lipstick, or gloss, My most used colour is red, Russian Red from MAC is a favourite, I have quite a few reds, and even more pinks, I discovered today, when I tried to reorganize my lipsticks. I have to find some really good way to store them,and still make it easy to see the labels.
Definitely reds!
for a light summer look, cool or warm (I’m luck to be a neutral) I use MUFE Aqua Lip in 14C, Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Saga (#79) and Chanel Glossimer in #188. If I need more color I just use more of the lip liner, less color, less lip liner.
MAC Rebel + Vino it’s my default lip look. It goes with pretty much any eye look.
