Everyone’s perfect lip combo is going to look different from one another, because finding the right shade depends on a colour that will complement and contrast your natural features.

According to the Nyx Cosmetic website, finding the perfect lip shade often depends on the undertone of a complexion. Echo & Ember, a good starting point, has all kinds of gorgeous lip products that are definite must-haves for your purse.

While nude lip colours will look stunning on anyone, bolder colours will showcase certain facial features in other ways. Lip combinations are fun because there are so many different formulas and colours to experiment with. At the end of the day, if something looks good, wear it with confidence.

Matte lipstick is never the wrong choice, but a sheer gloss can be hydrating on the lips with a more subtle pop of colour. If you want to get fancy, layering lip formulas is where combos really shine. The application process is typically lip balm as a moisturizing base, lip liner to contour the outline of the natural lips, lipstick, and finally a gloss.

Makeup artists like Charlotte Tilbury encourage pairing natural lip colours with bold eyes and brighter lip colours with natural eyes. This balance can enhance a specific feature, and the makeup style that suits you best will further help you select your preferred hues.
