Recently, I got addicted to lipstick and wanted to find my perfect nude lip, but it didn't stop there. Also, I wanted to find a MAC lipstick that I loved or could call HG! After hours and hours of seeing what other youtube gurus used, blogs, and makeupalley, I found that it was best to try out the lipsticks yourself! Trying them on your own lips may give a different effect compared to someone else's lips because everyone has a different lip pigmentation. Therefore, ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS TRY BEFORE YOU BUY! This way you can avoid any fails. Unfortunately, drugstore products you have to buy first, I suggest purchasing at drugstores that have a beauty guarantee; this way you can return the item(s), so keep your receipts! Stores with beauty guarantee include Rite Aid, Walgreens? ( not sure), and CVS. You can double check this guarantee and any details on it from their website. Anyways, let's get to my lippies! :)
These are in no particular order, I like them equally the same. Will post pics later, but if you really want to see them, comment and I'll post asap.
HG lipliner: Revlon ColorStay lipliner in Natural (I wouldn't use this to define my lips, rather I use it to mute the color of my lips by filling them in with this liner. It also helps lipstick stay on longer. I can see this lipliner used underneath any lipstick color because it mainly mutes the color of your lip and I don't see it changing the color of your lipstick.)
Most used lipglosses at the moment: L'oreal Colour Juice lip gloss in Caramel, MAC love nectar lipglass
For Nude lips
- Revlon ColorStay lipliner in Natural, L'Oreal Fairest Nude lipstick, NYX Mega Shine lip gloss in Frosted Beige = very Pale nude (good for medium - dark skin tone)
- Revlon ColorStay lipliner in Natural, L'Oreal Fairest Nude lipstick, BonneBell liplites in Cappuccino = muted pale pink with slight brown/gray undertone
- Revlon ColorStay lipliner in Natural, MAC Hug Me lipstick, L'Oreal Colour Juice lip gloss in Bubble Gum = basically color of Hug Me lipstick, muted pink with slight brown undertone
- Revlon ColorStay lipliner in Natural, NYX Thalia lipstick, NYX Mega Shine lip gloss in Sweet heart = pale pink
- Kohl's FLIRT Honey Bun lipstick, FLIRT super shiny lipgloss in Nectar Fizz = sheer, glossy lip; great for summer or when the sun's out; not really nude color
For Pink lips
- Revlon ColorStay lipliner in Blush, NYX Tea Rose, NYX Mega Shine lip gloss in Beige
For Red lips
- use any red liner (I don't have one at the moment), MAC Viva Glam VI lipstick, MAC Viva Glam VI lipgloss = red lipstick
- Rimmel 1000 kisses lipliner in Cherry, NYX Black Cherry lipstick = dark red lipstick, looks like a black cherry almost
Other lippies I like
- MAC Underplay (amplified) = peach/light tan with yellow undertones; gives a somewhat "golden yellow lip"
- MAC Jubilee (lustre) = muted beige-peach
- MAC love nectar lustreglass = gives a wet, pouty lip look and can give a tint of warm (dark) peach
- MAC Touch, NYX Mega Shine lip gloss in Natural = muted brown
- MAC Lovin' it lipstick = makes your face pop and look a bit "made up", brown/red in color; if you are tired of red lips then this is a good alternative
- L'oreal Colour Juice lip gloss in Berry Burst = used to add a tint of pink, has minimal glitter (read below)
- L'oreal Colour Juice lip gloss in Caramel = used to add a tint of tan/brown, has minimal glitter in it but not barely noticeable once applied to lips, however once it dries on your lips there will be glitter flecks on them- but this is the case also with MAC lipglasses
