As someone who tests makeup and skincare quite often (perks of the job, I guess), it's a big deal to find something I love so much I continue to reach for and repurchase over others. My neutral lip combo from THIS Beauty (read here about the brand I started in 2022) is my tried and true lip color over anything else. I prefer a more softer approach to my makeup and I find these shades compliment any look. ...
