Best everyday lipstick?: At the moment, Nine to Five or High Heeled Housewife from the ChiChi (an Australian brand) Viva la Diva range. Gorgeous colour range, smooth, good pigmentation and softly scented with rose.
Best everyday lipgloss?: DiorKiss in Mango Soda, Fizzy Lemonade or Hawaii Coco, depending on of your after apricot, neutral or pink tones. These are simply divine!
Best everyday blush?: Laura Mercier Illuminating Stick Blush (the pink one) with Dior Skin Shimmer layered over the top.

Is chi chi lipstick good? I really dont like their eyeshadow nor the lip plump because somehow spilt everywhere in my makeup bag and i did close it firmly.

Anitacska Avatar

I don’t really understand the “everyday” category. I use different lipstick, lipgloss and blush pretty much every day, depending on what look I’m trying to create.

Macaddict Avatar

Same here! With all the different make up colors I have, I would be d***ed if I wore the same colors over and over again. Besides, I get “bored” with a look after 1 application; I want to modify/twist/change it.

Jenna Avatar

In response to what Anitacska said, what I think of an “everyday” look is something I can wear to work (or for others, school) everyday; something that is safe, universally-appropriate, all-occasion (but daytime) look.

Best everyday blush?: NARS Nico

Yes, I love me some NARS, if you couldn’t tell 🙂

One trick I like, as a sidenote, is to take a dab of lipstick in a darker shade and blend it into the apples of my cheeks, then brush Nico over it. It lightens, brightens, and adds shimmer to it and you can make hundreds of different blush looks that way!

hi Avatar

Best everyday lipstick? For me, it’s MAC Pink Nouveau. On most it’s overly bright, but since I’m pale, it’s the perfect shade of mostly-matte medium pink that just brightens up my whole face! It also goes with ANY look.
Best everyday lipgloss? My definition of “everyday” is something that’s a major staple in your bag and makes YOU look and feel the best, regardless of the shade. Evidently, my everyday lipgloss is not nude; it’s a classic but slightly muted bright red shade of MAX Factor Lipfinity Liquid Lipstick. It’s like bright blue-red, but toned down to be classy and flattering!
Best everyday blush? It’s discontinued, but I like The Body Shop’s Sparkle and Shimmer Powder Puff in Sunset Peach. This is my stand-by shimmery pinky peach, almost like my custom shade of NARS Orgasm. Just like Pink Nouveau lipstick, it complements almost any other shade I wear on my face – yes, it also complements Pink Nouveau and that muted bright red from MAX Factor. 😉
