DOSE OF COLORS Liquid Matte Lipstick

I love nude lips - nude gloss, nude lipgloss, even just a tinted balm! But if I want an easy confidence boost then my go to is a bright pop of color! I go for bright oranges, true reds, pops of pink, and in the fall and winter will even reach for deep burgundy shades. When I’m wearing these bright shades I want to be sure it stays where it’s supposed to be and doesn’t end up all over my face, so my go to formula is liquid lipstick. Liquid lipsticks dry down, are completely matte and shouldn’t transfer. The perfect liquid lipstick should be all those things, but also not leave your lips too dry! I’ve found one brand that fits the bill for me - Dose of Colors. Their liquid lipsticks come in a variety of shades (including nudes for all skin tones), don’t dry out the lips, are pigmented, and don’t transfer. I’m wearing the DOSE OF COLORS - DOSE OF COLORS Liquid Matte Lipstick in the shade Merlot, but also love the shades Chocolate Wasted, Pinky Promise, Berry Me, Coral Crush and Brick if I’m looking for a confidence boosting color! At $18 for each liquid lipstick I think the price is right in line with other similar brands like Too Faced and Urban Decay. The founder of the brand started as a makeup artist and the brand reflects that! All of their products come in a variety of shades, are extremely pigmented and super easy to work with! #CheriePartner

Hey Cherie Beauties, Today I wanted to share some makeup hacks I learned on Tik tok. These hacks will help you look like you have fuller and plumper lips. I get asked a this question a lot, but I actually don’t have lip fillers. I’m just ethnically ambiguous and my fuller lips came from my Filipina roots 😉 lol. Anyway let’s get this started. 🤍STEP ONE: EXFOLIATE Not only exfoliating will help you prep your lips, it also helps blood flowing which naturally helps plump the lip. I use ELF’s lip exfoliator in coconut. This is such an important step especially if you’re using matte liquid lipsticks e.l.f. - e.l.f. Lip Exfoliator 🤍STEP TWO: LIP LINER Slightly over line your top and bottom lip. You don’t want to go too big because you still want this to look natural. Make sure you are using a darker shade of your lipstick. Typically, the darker the shade, the fuller they look. I used Kylie’s lip liner in Candy K KYLIE COSMETICS - KYLIE Matte Lip Kit 🤍 STEP 3: LIPSTICK/LIQUID LIPSTICK Apply your lipstick shade of your choice. Just make sure it is a shade lighter than your lip liner. I used Dose of Colors liquid lipstick in Truffle DOSE OF COLORS - DOSE OF COLORS Liquid Matte Lipstick 🤍STEP 4: PLUMPING LIPGLOSS As a finishing touch, use a plumping gloss to really enhance the lips. I used too faced lip injection gloss. This really tingles and burns. It is slightly uncomfortable not gonna lie so if you’re sensitive, I would skip this and go for another lip gloss. Too Faced - Lip Injection Lip Gloss 🤍 STEP 5: EYELASH GLUE (OPTIONAL) If you really want mega volume I would use eyelash glue and glue your lips together. This is uncomfortable, but if you want your lips to look bomb in photographs for short-term this does the trick! SEPHORA COLLECTION - House of Lashes Eyelash Adhesive I had so much fun doing this! I hope you try it and remember that all lip sizes are beautiful Francesca 💋 #CheriePartner

Liquid lipsticks were allllll the rage a couple years ago. Though that’s not the vibe of the beauty scene right now, liquid lipsticks are awesome to have in your collection for longevity purposes. Big date, heading into work, or wedding to go to and need something to last through sipping beverages and eating? Long-lasting liquid lipsticks are perfect for these! I have no shortage of liquid lipsticks in my collection, but these ones in particular are formulas I recommend. I pulled a few to swatch and “model” in staple colors that I wear often. SEPHORA COLLECTION - Cream Lip Stain Liquid Lipstick in shades 13 “marvelous mauve” (mauve) and 01 “always red” (mini, true red) have been in my collection for several years. Don’t come for me - they don’t smell and the formula still works great! This collection has almost 100 shades, so there’s something for EVERYONE. I have owned other shades in the past and have 1 or 2 others still around. The mousse-y formula is lightweight, comfortable, and doesn’t dry out my lips too much. They do leave behind a bit of a stain when they fade, which I like. $15 full size. Some available in sets. MAYBELLINE - SuperStay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick in the shade “seductress” is a consistent go-to shade for me. It’s a nude with hint of peach that goes with so many different makeup looks. This formula can be quite drying and difficult to remove, so I suggest applying a good lip balm and choosing a nude shade or else you’ll be scrubbing your lips all night trying to remove deeper shades (unless you don’t mind this). The lasting power is awesome (8+ hours)! Once my lips feel dry I apply a gloss on top and I’m good to go for even longer. These range for $9-11 depending where you purchase them. DOSE OF COLORS - DOSE OF COLORS Liquid Matte Lipstick in the shade “warm & fuzzy” is another go-to of mine. It’s a warm peachy/pinky nude. I have 2 or 3 other shades, as well. The formula is very thin (yet super opaque) and comfortable. Not quite as long-wearing as the other lippies in this post but still good (about 5 hours before some fading). DOC lippies are sometimes on sale at Ulta or on their website, so I recommend picking up a shade or two during a sale, though the quality is totally worth full price at $18 each. Note: Sephora Collection and Maybelline are not considered cruelty-free. I do only purchase from cruelty-free brands myself, but wanted to share these anyways. #CheriePartner
