Oh this is a nice one! Dior Lip Glow for lip balm, YSL Glossy Stain#7 for a coral gloss and Chanel Liberte Rouge Coco Shine
1. MAC Viva Glam V
2. Rimmel Kate Moss lip conditioner or Smith’s Rosebud slave
3. Clinique Almost lipstick in Black Honey
Dr Bronner’s Naked Lip Balm, Badger spf lip balm, Givenchy Brun Creatur,
I second that Jack Black Lip Balm!
1.) Jack Black lip balm (unless Nicole meant color products?, if she only meant color, then Too Faced Pink Chocolate.)
2.) UD Revolution Streak lipstick
3.) UD Bittersweet lipstick
Weird, I know, that I didn’t pick a red, but if asked same question in a few more months, a red would be there!
Lip balm falls under “skincare”, LOL!
Yes, but it is a “lip product” and the question asks what would be the first three lip products so I think we’re good with including good old Jack Black 🙂
My three would be Jack Black lip balm and Guerlain lip pencils in Pivoine Magnifica and Bois de Santal. Both are creamy, long wearing mlbb lip pencils that can double as lipstick when used with a bit of balm.
I second this. Hee, hee. 🙂 Leaves more room for color products that way. 😉
Dior Creme de Rose Lip Balm (lusciousness in a little white and pink pot!), Chanel Julia Coco Rouge Lipstick (my perfect nude) and a MAC lipstick but I’m not quite sure which one… hard decision!… either Modesty or Hug Me. Hug Me is very similar to Chanel’s Julia so I’ll go with Modesty!
MAC Twig, NARS Jane, Maybelline Maple Kiss. I think I could subsist on just these 3 lipsticks which is saying a lot from someone with over 20 lipsticks in their collection.
Tough one.. No matter how I try, I have not found THE color for me which I would be prepared to repurchase time and time again, so I most probably will just shop around and pick what I like at that moment.
There would definitely be a NARS lipstick, that I know. Probably Roman Holiday or smth. The other two… Oh, one will be whatever pinky-nude that suits me the most from current MAC LE 🙂 or, if none, from the permanent line (which will most likely end up being Honey Love, Japanese Maple or Hue, depending on the mood). Then I’ll finally get a Caylin matte lipstick.
Rosebud Minted Rose lip balm
Colourpop Dopey Ultra Satin
Jordana Twist & Shine balm stain in Terra Crave
Blistex sensitive lipbalm, Ofra x MannyMUA Charmed, Tom Ford matte lipstick Pussycat.
A Clinique Chubby Stick (so convenient), a red lip stain (probably Sephora) and a Catrice Beautifier (perfect dupe to the Clarins Instant Light ones)
MAC Craving, MAC Red Necessity and Bite Zin or Vigne (neither of which is available any longer).
Fresh Sugar Lip Balm (the colorless one) for SPF and comfort under lipstick (sorry, Christine, I like this one better than the Jack Black under lipstick!); YSL Rouge Volupte Shine in #19, Fuchsia in Rage (gets me the most compliments of any lip color I’ve ever worn, looks great on me and so easy to apply — so I manage to overlook the scent, which doesn’t irritate my lips the way it would the skin on my face); and NARS Audacious lipstick in Fanny, another color that gets me tons of compliments. I’ve yet to find a neutral lip color that makes me look half as good as my favorite bright colors do!
That’s so hard! Probably liners, since you can wear them on their own or top them with an actual lipstick or a gloss. My current fave lipliner formula is the new Nyx Slide On pencils, if I had to pick just 3 to start a collection I’d go for Nude Suede Shoes, Brick House, and Nebula, just because that covers the colors I go for most often.
In real life I already have twice that many though, haha.
Colorpop liquid lipstick in Tulle, Cherry Blossom by coloured raine and soft almond lip gloss by essence .
Tough question! Jeffree Star lip scrub, D&G Sophia Loren No. 1 lipstick, Jeffree Star Redrum lipstick
Most of my current favorites are dc’d (UD Sesso, Sephora Love me Pink) so this is hard!! I guess:
1) MLS lip balm in London Fog scent
2) UD Naked Gloss in Beso
3) I don’t know/ I give up… I would be lost without my mountain of lip glosses!
MAC Russian Red, Viva Glam V and Hug Me lipsticks.
– Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stain in Honey (my go-to natural lip color that’s easy to apply and the stain lasts a long time)
– Pixi Shea Butter Lip Balm in Natural Rose (the most nourishing lip balm that also provides opaque color; this is a gorgeous pinky brown MLBB shade)
– NYX Lip Butter in Tiramisu (comfortable nude gloss that goes with everything)
Jack Black Lip Balm for me too 😀
MAC Brick-o-La
NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Walkyrie
Bag Balm (as an overnight treatment), Revlon Balm Stains in Smitten and Honey–comfortable formula and versatile colors!
Ooo… good question! My Nivea lip balm, Maybelline Touch of Spice, and NARS Chelsea Girls.
Tarte Glitzy Lipsurgence, Urban Decay Sheer Rapture lipstick, Revlon Snow Pink lipgloss.
Bite Agave Lip Mask
UD Lovelight
Third: placeholder for when I finally find the perfect red
Rommel Airy Fairy (I actually had to replace this one very recently, as the one I had went off).
Milani Matte Confident or NYX Snow White.
Milani Matte Love or Black Cherry.
Or, I would “cheat” and go with NYX Pro Lip Palettes in Nudes & Plums, along with NYX Macaron Lipstick in Black Sesame…
I love this question. Lip products are hands down my favorite as my collection will attest. Not sure I can limit to 3 but if I must, Nuxe Riev de Miel lip treatment. Seriously, put it on at bedtime and it is still there in the morning, my beloved Elizabeth Arden Red Door Red lipstick and MAC All Fired Up.
NYX Thalia or Bite Beauty Thistle
MAC Viva Glam Rihanna (the first/red)
NARS Barbara
Besame Noir Red
Illamasqua Kontrol
Urban Decay Perversion (Vice lipstick)
Mac blankety, a Chanel glossimer, maybe Mac Saint Germaine or Korean Candy
Nars Banned Red x 3 !!!
1. Kiehl’s Eucalyptus Lib Balm. NOTHING has ever moisturized my lips more than that product.
2. MAC Brick-o-la
3. MAC Plushglass in Full for You to put over the Brick-o-la. Years and countless lip products later, the combo is still my favorite.
1.). MAC Heroine
2.). Lime Crime Pink Velvet Velvetine
3.). Estée Lauder and I can’t for the life of me think of the shade name but it’s several years old and it’s a gorgeous orangey-coral-pinkish-gold.
Note: I have to say, more of than not, I find myself reaching for my Makeup Revolution lipstick I recently picked up in Dazzle. Feels great on the lips, the color is gorgeous, decent staying power, and INEXPENSIVE!
Can you look up the Estée Lauder name? My coloring is like yours.
Anything from MAC. 🙂
Neva lip liner, NYC liquid suede lip color and gloss.
Carmex. MAC cork lipliner. NYX butter gloss Angel Food Cake.
This is really hard! As much as I love weird colors and brights, if I had to live with three shades for a while till I built my collection back up, I’d go more for workhorse shades.
1. Urban Decay Sheer Rapture. It’s my perfect MLBB shade and it goes with almost any look.
2. Urban Decay Matte 1993. The “nude” I use when I don’t want a pink-based shade like Sheer Rapture. Actually, Wet N Wild Fergie in Bebot Love has been my go-to peachy-brownish-nude, but it was recently discontinued. Matte 1993 is very close.
3. Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipstick in Redrum. It’s a perfect, classic, matte red that’s long-wearing and doesn’t transfer. Perfect for pin-up looks or dressier occasions.
WHOA THIS IS SUCH A GOOD QUESTION I’M ACTUALLY STUMPED!
Knowing what I know about Liquid lipsticks now, as much as I love them, my go-to (if i only had 3 products to pick) would be a traditional stick — I’d pick Kevyn Aucoin’s The Matte Lip Color in Relentless (pinky nude, AN EXACT MATCH FOR MY REAL LIP COLOR), and 2 different lip pencils. Probably M.A.C. Soar and another pencil that’s a touch deeper than that so I can make an ombre. Maybe M.A.C. Mahogany. That’s my whole lip — easy to maintain, long-lasting and beautiful!!!!
Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Bonhuer, Chanel Vamp lipstick and Laura Mercier lipstick in Rum Raisin.
ColourPop :
• Cami (Lippie Stix)
• Trust Me … (Lippie Stix)
• Chi (Matte Liquid Lipstick) (LE Kpop collection)
UD sheer revolution in Liar
Nars Brigitte
MAC coral bliss
For me it could be Chanel’s Rouge Coco in Arthur, Nars in Red Lizard, and MAC’s Velvet Teddy
Mac Prep n Prime, Mac Russian Red and Chanel Passion lipsticks ansd Mac Cherry lip liner makes four!
For lip care – Clarins lip oil
For ease of wear – Too Faced Honey Bear (a recent MLBB discovery)
For pure decadence – Tom Ford Cherry Lush
Buxom Full-on Lipstick in “Dolly”
Buxom Full-on Lipolish also in “Dolly”
M.A.C. Creme Liptstick in “Freckletone”
All of these shades are pretty on redheads with fair skin.
Fresh Sugar
Mac Twig
Guerlain Rosewood
Jeez, the Gwen Stefani UD stuff for sure, Fresh Berry, and Bite Eggplant crayon.
MAC Cherry lip liner, Bésame Red lipstick, and Ruby Woo just because it’s so iconic. Can you tell I wear red lips 99% of the time? Haha 🙂
– Tonymoly Delight Magic Lip Tint in Strawberry.
– Urban Decay Sheer Ladyflower.
– Almay Smart Shade Butter Kiss in Pink Light.
(I find the UD Revolution sheer formula to be *very* similar to the Almay, although more pigmented.)
But first I’d cry bitterly because my collection had disappeared.
This question is really hard to answer. I have sooooo many lipsticks.
Maybe These
Dior lip glow balm because for me it is the best product to put under Any lipstick and it also Looks very good alone (on me the LE shade lilac looks the best)
Second a really bright pink, at the Moment my favourite is lime Crime countessa fluorescent
Last a very nice nude/everyday colour, cannot decide between Mac mehr which really lasts Long and nars Raquel which Looks and feels so good.
Aquaphor Healing Ointment Advanced Therapy, Bobbi Brown Brightening Lip Gloss in Popsicle, and, Urban Decay Super-Saturated High Gloss Lip Color in Naked. That was kinda tough!
I’ve always been a MAC Lipstick girl at heart! And I reach for my MAC shades before others usually! BUT – if I had to start over:
1. I’d live most days in Creme in Your Coffee by MAC – deeper than nude but a really good earthy coffee brown w/ hints of mauve.
2. Clinique Chubby Stick in Super Strawberry – Moisurizing light pink tinted balm – perfect for “no makeup” days.
3. “O” by MAC – Not red, not brown, not too frosty – transitions from day to night with liner. Its perfect.
The Nars Matte Velvet Lip Pencil in Mysterious Red, nude lip liner and Chapstick.
Milani Cinnamon Spice
Clinique Peach Pop
Maybelline In Style Sienna
These are the only lipsticks I have ever repurchased/got back ups for.
NARS Anna, Tom Ford Slow Burn (which are virtually indistinguishable LOL) and Rimmel London Asia
Oooh I can’t leave out MAC Creme in your Coffee
Great question and pretty hard to answer!
1. NARS Rikugien
2. Kiko Rebel Romantic Lavish lipstick in 01 Mauve
3. Aargh! So hard to choose one last one! I’ll go for MAC Have Your Cake lol.
Nuxe Reve de Miel, Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat pencil in Pillow Talk, and Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G in Bitch Perfect.
Lolita II by Kat Von D, Colourpop Echo Park and Nuxe lip balm!
Lonely planet liquid lipsticks !! Had I known these first , wouldn’t have wasted money on colourpop , la girl and dozen other liquid lipsticks.
Anastasia Liquid Lip in Dolce, Charlotte Tilbury lipstick in bitch perfect, and mac velvet teddy 🙂
Reve de Miel for night, Bite Beauty Agave for day, and YSL Rouge Volupte Shine #7.
Hmmmmm… this is a hard one!! def Nivea touch of milk and honey lip balm and maybelline touch of spice for a sexy deeper lip for going out, and probably maybelline warm me up (my perfect MLBB shade)!!
Too Faced Born This Way foundation
Lipstick Queen’s Rouge Sinner lipstick
Colourpop Boy Band shadow (ugh — that name!)
I’m such an idiot! Lip products! It’s right there in the question! Let me try again:
Lipstick Queen in Rouge Sinner
Kat Von D in Lolita
Black Widow Balm in Voodoo
Lanolips 101 lip ointment, Milani Clear Lip Liner, and Jordana Twist & Shine in Terra Crave.
Bite Tannin, Ben nye ruby red, milani cabaret blend…in that order ?
Nars Audacious in Anna, Nars Audacious in Vanessa and Too Faced Pink Chocolate. That hurt so bad.
1. Nyx Soft Creme San Paulo
2. Revlon Matte Balm in Sultry
3. Flower Kiss Stick in Tempting Rose
Um…
MAC lipstick pallette in Editorial Reds
MAC lipstick pallette in Select Plums
MAC lipstick pallette in Modern Browns
*folds arms*
MAC Ruby Woo lipstick
Clarins Instant Light Lip perfector un 01
Makeup Forever Rouge Artist Natural in #9
Desert Essence Shea Butter Lip Balm,BareMinerals Lip Polish in Sandy and L’Oreal Lipstick in Andie’s Rose Carmine.
1. NARS Pure Matte Lipstick in Tonkin
2. NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Dolce Vita
3. NYX Slim Lip Liner in Ever
NYX Butter Gloss in Angel Food Cake, NYX Butter lipstick in Pops, MAC lipstick in Capricious
Burt’s Bees lip balm for me (though I like Jack Black at night but I gotta prioritize for this question XD), and probably Marc Jacobs Kiss Kiss Bang Bang lipstick, and either Nars Dolve Vita Lipgloss, or MAC Ruby Woo.
MAC Soar lip pencil, Burts beeswax lip balm, Nars Dragon Girl
1) Carmex Lip Balm Stick
2) Lashed Liquid Lipstick in Haute Cocoa
3) Lashed Liquid Lipstick in Electric Coral
Kat Von D Lolita, Dose of Colors Truffle & Cork.
Colour Pop Kiddo, KVD Bow n Arrow, and…..
I want to say UD Friday Bomb but it usually requires a red and a clear liner for me. I might shop around for a another red in a different formula.
Lol autocorrect, f bomb!
For everyday MLBB Rimmel Keep Mauving
For a pop of color Rimmel Viva Violet
And a nude to tone down a darker eye… Probably Bourjois Rouge Edition 04
MAC Verve, Anna Sui Pink x Brown Star Lipstick and Too Faced Melted Chocolate Cherries would be my first go-to lip products!
1. Cargo reverse lip liner in the lightest shade. I can actually use this as my lip color if necessary. It’s lighter than my skin or lips, makes my lips look bigger, and makes any color I apply a hair lighter and more true to the shade than if I put it straight on my lips.
2. Milani Color Statement in Pink Frost, a light metallic pink that always looks good on me.
3. Walgreens brand lip balm, the ones that look like EOS. I like them better because they are less waxy than real EOS. And they come out with new seasonal flavors. Only can have one to start? Strawberry.
This was hard though…I love lipsticks and have tons!
Hmm…tough one. I’d probably go with Tarte Rainforest of the Sea balm in Nude..adds a little color and is super hydrating to me. For a MLBB I’d go with Urban Decay Sheer Beso until that ran out and since they didn’t keep it in the new Vice lineup it may be replaced with Ravenswood depending on how much I love it or Too Faced Honey Bear. And then I’d have to go with a bright pink which right now would either be Urban Decay Firebird or ColourPop The Rabbit.
Windsor Edwards lip balm. Urban Decay naked gloss in streak. Tarte Amazonian lip butter lipstick in Angelic Nude. And they’re all cruelty free too. 🙂
Smashbox COGNAC (it’s literally the best every day color ever)
Kat Von D liquid lipstick in Baus Haus
And any color purple that it on the market at that time. (I’m a Vikings fan – wear purple lipstick every game)
MUFE Plexi Gloss 104
Lashed Liquid Lipstick Haute Cocoa
Carmex Stick Lip Balm
Smashbox Cognac
Buxom full bodied lip gloss in Dolly
BiTE Palamino
