BEST LIP PRODUCTS FOR FALL 💖💋✨ #CheriePartner

Doing my makeup and feeling put-together is one of my favorite things, however I don’t always have the time or energy to be able to achieve a full-face beat every day. Soft and gentle glam, I use this look when I want to feel ~soft~ and glowy, but only spend minimal time on it. I start with NARS - Radiant Creamy Concealer which I use all over my face, spot concealing redness of pimples, around my nose and lips, tip of my nose, and between my eyebrows. This brightens and evens your skin tone without a full face of foundation. You can use primer if you want, when I do I use a blurring primer like TATCHA - The Silk Canvas Protective Primer or beautyblender - Pore Minimizing Primer which smooth skin and even look good just on their own. I set with BECCA - Hydra-Mist Set & Refresh Powder and then move on to my eyes. I use one eyeshadow palette with a few colors, two of my favorites are NATASHA DENONA - Mini Nude Eyeshadow Palette and EM COSMETICS - Limited Edition Divine Skies Eyeshadow Palette which have both mattes and shimmers. Important: they don’t patch! This makes blending a breeze. I put a neutral brown in my crease and outer V, then layer a dark brown in my outer v and smudge on my lower lash line. Adding shimmer is optional, but I usually do. For this I just use my finger and swipe on the lid. All powders for my face bronzer, blush, & highlight applied with one fluffy brush. I apply blush by pinching the powder brush in my fingers to elongate it to place product where I want— my fav is PATRICK TA - Monochrome Moment Velvet Blush which applies smoothly on all skin (prepped or not). I layer with benefit - Hoola Matte Bronzer in a 3 shape, and finish with whatever glowing highlight i feel like. In this image it’s OFRA - Nikkietutorials Everglow Highlighter Brow filling is optional, but brushing them up with a gel helps you look awake and youthful with little effort. Finish with mascara and a tinted lip balm or moisturizing lipstick like Glossier. - Generation G Sheer Matte Lipstick or EM COSMETICS - EM Cosmetics Lip Cushion and you’re ready to go in less than ten!

I was never brave enough to rock a bright lip. I do minimal makeup, only venturing into even eyeliner recently- so a bright lip felt so attention-grabbing and feminine, something I’m typically not. To build up my confidence to wear a bright lip color, I grabbed a couple Generation G ($18USD) shades, which are notoriously buildable- plus vegan and cruelty-free! One Swipe: Tinted lip balm vibes. Two Swipes: Subtle lip stick. Three Swipes: Hello pigmentation! I prefer the shade Like for no-makeup makeup days, but Zip is beyond fun to dress up combat boots and black cargo pants with some winged eyeliner. Being able to control the saturation allows me to adjust the brightness for my comfort level and the event- making it indispensable under some gloss or a satin balm. It’s hard not to feel confident af in a matte red lip 👌🏽 Swipe for a swatch: I have medium-olive skin, in the early 300s Fenty Skin range. #CheriePartner

Lipstick is something that you never get enough! I mean, each of them has different shades, texture, and you can use them to create countless looks matching with your makeup. How can we say no! ◇ YSL Vernis A Levres Water Satin #613 Love this one!! I have recommended this to many friends and I introduce it to them as “like a cup of strawberry milkshake”. Though it seems to have a dark shade that’s more burgundy than red, it still makes your lip looks soft and tender. The credit should give to its texture. This new formula designed by YSL is super sheer that it's almost unobservable if you only apply one layer. By saying so I don't mean that this lipstick is difficult to get pigmented, instead you can easily build up the color as much as you want depends on how many layers you wanna reapply (and it won't get cakey and sticky!) Really think this product change my mind for lipstick satin. YVES SAINT LAURENT - Vernis à Lèvres Water Stain Lip Stain ◇ PAT MCGRATH LABS BlitzTrance Lipstick #072 Flesh Fatale PAT receives popularity because of its glittering eyeshadows, and they have developed it further to lipstick! I often prefer dark and vivid color when purchasing lipstick, this one is the only light-shade lipstick I own, and it's perfect to wear when you have no makeup on. Yes, this is a lipstick that can lighten up your dull skin and make your lip shine with its gold glitters. However, one disadvantage of it is that the glitters are big and gritty, and it does stay after the color wears off. PAT McGRATH LABS - BlitzTrance Lipstick ◇ MAC Amplified Lipstick #108 Dubonnet The oxblood color! Such a flattering shade which is a deep, cool-toned red and I love to match it with my heavy makeup to harmonize the overall look. It is perfect if you wanna create a charming atmosphere. Although I got warm-tone complexion, this color still looks beautiful and will make your skin brighter. It also has long-lasting power that stays after eating and drinking. MAC - Amplified Lipstick ◇ LANCOME Lacquer Liquid Lipstick #274 This one is not that famous like the other 3, but it's still my pick above all in winter! Instead of using vivid and high-saturation colors, I would use 274 because I prefer my winter looks to be low-key and implicit. Apply 274 independently, you will get a beige almond color, especially suitable for warm undertones. I personally love to apply this liquid lipstick as a final coat on top of other colors. If some colour is too bright and highly saturated, combined with 274 will hold down the overall effect and you are able to DIY your own ideal effect! LANCÔME - L'absolu Lacquer Gloss

As a collector of lip products, I am willing to try different colors and formulas. But in daily basis, my favorite color would be the nudes--especially with a little brown undertone inside. And this time I want to share 3 of my mostly used liquid lipsticks. 😝 Let’s start form the latest collection from Yves Saint Laurent called Water stain lip stain. And I picked the #610, nude underwater, which is a brown nutmeg nude. This is a water-enriched stain, very lightweight, fresh and non-sticky at all. I usually do several layers, because the color is quite sheer but still buildable. The only thing I don’t like this product is that if I lick my lips accidently, it tastes very bitter and I feel like being poisoned (just kidding). Overall, I like this collection and this almond nude color, really juicy and lightweight, perfect for daily makeup. YVES SAINT LAURENT - Vernis à Lèvres Water Stain Lip Stain The next one I really love and almost use it up is Lancôme L’absolu Lacquer in shade #274, beige sensation. It is a pink brown stain and buildable for high-impact color and shine. I usually do two layers, the first one covers my full lips and use my finger to blend it well, and then my second layer will focus on the inner part of my lips, which will blur my lip line and make my lips look naturally plump. This one is the cheapest among three products and I can use it even without makeup. I really hope everyone can give it a try, and you will love it! LANCÔME - L'absolu Lacquer Gloss The last one is from Bobbi Brown, the Crushed Liquid Lipstick collection named Haute Cocoa, which is rich brown nude color. Because this is not a lip stain, so it won’t last after eating or drinking like the other two. But the full-coverage formula offers great pigment and moisture, so sometimes I use it like a tinted lip balm especially during winter when my lips are always dry. BOBBI BROWN - Crushed Liquid Lipstick What are your daily choices of lipsticks? Leave comments so that I can give them a try. 🤩

I found an amazing dupe! And it can save you $26!!! UNDONE BEAUTY - Light On Lip I love the formula of this lipstick. It’s super moisturizing and never leaves my lips feeling dry or parched. It adds a punch of color and leaves a slight shimmer on the lips (the shimmer is very subtle and unnoticeable from afar)! Charlotte Tilbury - Superstar Lips Lipstick This formula gives the perfect tint of color without any shimmer. It has a nice shiny finish and adds a little bit of moisture (but not nearly has nourishing as Undone Beauty’s). Overall, I would say that the end result of both products (and these two particular shades) are basically identical! The only difference I noticed when wearing both is that Undone Beauty’s lipstick is more nourishing on the lips and keeps my lips feeling softer! I highly recommend trying it out because it’s only $8 and gives a beautiful result!

This is the Superstar Lips lipstick in the shade Princess Kiss. It’s quite similar to Pillowtalk but slightly more cool toned. These are super emollient, glossy lipsticks. I love this one! Charlotte Tilbury - Superstar Lips Lipstick

As a May 2020 graduate, I’ve been doing a lot of interviews and phone calls over the quarantine period for jobs and internships. Along the way I picked a few key tips for achieving a flawless, professional makeup look perfect for video calls. All I want is to make the impression that I’m put together and perfect for the role! Of course, everyone has different kinds of makeup looks, and specific parts of makeup that make it “signature” to them (like a strong winged liner, or bold lip, or even a super bare natural face!). But for me, my “signature” looks is something quite fresh-faced, glowy skin, defined eyes and a tinted lip! Tips: 1) Stay true to yourself! If you never wear a red lip, don’t wear a red lip to the interview. If you always have a beautiful eyeshadow look on, definitely put some eyeshadow on! The truth is, when you feel most like yourself, the more confident you will appear to others. 2) Video calls tend to wash you out, so if you’re applying a color product maybe add a little more than usual! Here is what I used: HOURGLASS - Illume Sheer Color Trio This is a the perfect product to bronze, blush AND highlight the face! The formula is super creamy and soft, but definitely packs a punch with its pigment. The highlight also gives off a beautiful glow on camera! ESTĒE LAUDER - Double Wear Radiant Concealer I don’t feel the need for a foundation on camera as blemishes are generally not visible depending on video resolution. But I have really bad under eye circles that can make me look tired, so I always want a little concealer just to brighten up my face and eyes. This one is medium coverage with a natural finish on the skin. COLOURPOP - Brow Boss Pencil I always define my brows because they help to frame the face. This is an amazing inexpensive one that has the perfect waxy formula for adding fullness to the brows that looks natural. NUDESTIX - Magnetic Luminous Eyeshadow Defining my eyes is important to me because it’s a feature of my face that I really like. So a little glowy eyeshadow helps to bring attention to my eyes, helps me look a little more awake and defines it a little more. MAYBELLINE - Lash Sensational Mascara Full Fan Effect I know it’s near impossible to see individual lashes on video call but it helps a lot with defining my eyes! It also makes me feel more put together too just because I’d feel off if I had a full face of makeup and didn’t have mascara on. lisa eldridge - True Velvet Lipstick in Velvet Muse This is one of my favorite matte lipsticks because it’s super pigmented, non-drying but gives a matte finish. I add a little balm beforehand to keep my lips moisturized and to sheer the color a little. This is definitely a my-lips-but-better kind of shade.

I love a soft, blurry lip look because it looks so effortless and natural, but super long-lasting and low maintenance! Here are my top choices for a blotted lip: 1) lisa eldridge - True Velvet Lipstick in Velvet Muse This velvet lip formula is super creamy and pigmented, but doesn’t cling to dry patches! I usually dot it on the lips and pat to blend! 2) Glossier. - Generation G Sheer Matte Lipstick in Like & Cake This lipstick was formulated to give a blotted, stained effect to the lips. It’s incredibly creamy but sheer - a very unique formula compared to all my lipsticks. Just one layer of this gives a very natural stained look- a few extra swipes makes it more of a pigmented matte lip! 3) COLOURPOP - Ultra Matte Lip in Doozy This liquid lipstick is super sheer and lightweight so it gives the lips a soft wash of color without being too overpowering. I usually wear a balm underneath because it tends to be more drying than the Lisa Eldridge lipsticks and Glossier Gen G lipsticks.
