What is your go-to lip combo? What lipstick/gloss/whatever combination do you always go-to when you’re in doubt, in a rush, etc.?
For me, it’s gotta be Mari-sheeno lipstick and any gloss really–just has to start with the Mari-sheeno lipstick!

Avon’s Dew Kiss on my lips for moisture with a slick of MAC’s Lustreglass in Flusterose. It’s the perfect understated pink shade and the glossiness lasts for hours.
Oh, nice combo, Katherine 🙂 Sounds subtle but pretty.
prrr lipglass
Good pick, Claudine!
is it bad that I’ll do all other makeup (foundation, blush, e/s, eyeliner, mascara) but just put on the MAC clear lip conditioner? I have a few lipsticks I like but I always think its a waste b/c when I get a coffee or whatever it comes off. LOL So I barely touch the lippies. 🙁
lol, Lori! I used to be just like you 😛
For the past few months, the Viva Glam warm holiday palette has been my default mid-tone lip for all occasions. Masque is my default pale lip and Retrofluid is my default darker lip.
The VG colors are so versatile, they’re great!
Jellybabe Lipgelee!
Nice choice!
Hug Me l/s with Love Nectar Lustreglass
Hug Me! I need that!
Definitely my Lust is Lush lipgelee!
I love my Lil’ Sizzler lipgelee!
Viva Glam V and Oversexed gloss
Love it, Torias 🙂 Welcome to the site, haven’t seen you before!
Viva Glam V l/s & Fulfilled p/g… together or separate.
Great combo, Ariele!
Whirl lipliner & Starnova gloss
Very simple, but Starnova is lovely!
Cream O’Spice lipliner, Cafe Matte (Mattene), and C-Thru lipgloss. My go to lipgloss is Lychee Luxe…I love what it does to any lipstick.
Lychee Luxe!! Gotta love it 🙂
Viva Glam V lip glass and Chestnut lipliner. Or, Hover lipliner all over lips and Viva Glam V lipglass on top of that.
I love VGV!
Well at work I just use Love Nectar but when I hit the clubs I line my lips with Chestnut w/Love Nectar, until it wears off.
Love Nectar is sooo pretty, I can see why you’d use it regularly!
Mine is Plink! or Twig Twig.
Twig Twig is cute, and now I need to look into Plink!.
Honey Moon l/s with Moonbathe l/g. It’s very neutral on me and I find it goes with pretty much all e/s colours (except maybe pinks). They’re LE but I do have quite a few backups because Honey Moon is my HG. Another one I always seem to grab for is Contessa l/g, unfortunately another LE (MINI too, boo). I’m almost finished it. 🙁
I’m glad you at least have backups of Honey Moon! But yes, why must Contessa be LE and a MINI!?
my go-to is actually Becca Grenadine glossy lip tint. no shimmer, no sparkles, just a sheer red gloss.
as far as MAC, my go to (currently) is Twig-twig lipstick and love nectar lipglass. but i just got Mari-sheeno, and i LOVE it!!! hopefully my Strawbaby lipstick will come in the mail today……….i think i’ll love that one too!
Sounds pretty and simple 🙂 YAY! How’d you get your hands on Mari-sheeno? I love that lipstick!!
Nouveau Frou l/s and Nico Now l/g – my perfect “don´t have to think about it” lip
(or any sheer and shimmery gloss I come across)
I love Nico Now, it’s so pretty 🙂
I like Hug Me. I also love Guerlain’s Kiss Kiss Maxi Shine in Toffee Shine–it is the absolute perfect natural lipcolor for me. A bit rosy, a bit sparkly, very sheer, kind of balmy and it tastes like roses. The price is steep but it is probably the only lipstick tube that will be completely empty when I’m through with it.
I love Guerlain’s Kiss Kiss formula, though it’s pricey!
My go to combo will be syrup l/s and prrr l/g. Always attracting compliment!
That’s a good combo, Pia! I’ll have to try it sometime!
For me it’s Snob with any light pink gloss over it like Oyster Girl or my new favorite with it is Viva Glam VI SE lipglass. It’s really all about the pink lips for me.
I love that combo, Chrissy! Very fun and girly 🙂
I usually go with my fav. Chanel lipstick: Sirocco with their Glossimer(lipgloss) in Pagoda over it. Or with MAC I am really into the Viva Glam V l/s with the Viva Glam VI gloss over it.
Oohh, nice, I think that’s a fabulous Chanel combo 🙂
viva glam III lipstick with viva glam V lipglass then with some this bright pink lipgelee (i forget the name)
Nice combo, Vicki! 😀 Love the VGs!
My favorite neutral lip go to is Viva Glam II lip stick with Viva Glam V lip gloss with my lips lined with Hover lip pencil. SEXY!
Another VG combo gal 😀 Yay!
My never-fail combo:
Plum Dandy l/s with Lush-n-Lilac cremestick liner.
Love it! I almost bought Plum Dandy lipstick a few weeks ago!
