'My Lips But Better' Lipstick

Monday 9 June 2014




I love a good 'my lips but better' lipstick. 

After I do all my makeup I find that my lips are looking a little dull and possibly covered in foundation. So I always apply some kind of lip product to bring colour back into my lips as the last step in my makeup routine. I do love a good pop of colour but sometimes something a little more natural is a better fit. 

I often like using a natural lip colour for times when I have a dark smokey eye look or days when I want to look as natural as possible while still wearing makeup. I mostly wear this type of lip colour when going to Uni. I find it works really well on Uni days as it looks effortless and doesn't need retouching very often. 

My favourite 'my lip but better' lipstick at the moment is the Lancome Colour Design lipstick in the shade Vintage Rose. It is great for people with pale skin. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this shade for people with darker skin tones. It has a slightly blue/purple tint, which looks better than it sounds!




Two other colours that I know people love for this look are the NARS Satin Lipsticks in Honolulu Honey and Cruising.
