Happy Friday! Today is National Lipstick Day and what better way to celebrate than by sharing a few of my favorite lip products.
I posted the photo above on instastories a few weeks ago, and many of you asked several questions regarding the lipsticks I used. Specifically the lipliner. I usually don’t post selfies (like ever!) but this one created a lot of buzz so I figured I would do a dedicated post featuring these 3 lip products. I’ve found that using these products together create the perfect full, nude lip.
As always, feel free to reach out with any questions! And, if you end up trying any of these, snap me or tweet me so I can see! xx Ashley
PREP
First things first, this Glamglow Matte Lip Plumper. I talked about this on Snapchat a few weeks ago and I am still loving it. I personally like the matte formula, but if you want a glossy finish they have one!
I use this first and let it sit for about a minute. I will warn you, it burns. Not too bad, but you definitely can feel a strong tingle (that’s how you know it’s working).
LINE
The Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Lipliner (color Pillow Talk) is probably the best one I have ever tried. Not only does it stay on for several hours, but the color is spot on. I love this color because it’s a soft nude/pink which is perfect for lining.
I use this just outside my lips to create a subtle “full lip”.
COLOR
The lipstick I used is called Kim K and (in my opinion) is the perfect nude. I like this color because it’s not too brown or too white. Often when I try “nudes” and I either look completely washed out or it looks too brown for my skin tone.
Kim K has been recognized as a universal shade and is very flattering for many skin tones. When I got this color in the mail, I immediately called Katey and recommended she buy this asap. Ha! Love having friends like that.
MAKEUP DETAILS:
Foundation // Brow Liner & Gel // Mascara (this primer is key) // Eyeliner (I’ve gone through 2 pencils, this is my all time favorite basic eyeliner) // Blush (color Orgasm)

I’ve been wanting to try a “Nude Lip” and haven’t really known where to start. I think that lipliner looks gorgeous though! Not too dramatic, but gives that “barely there” look. You look great! xoxo T

Beautiful lip color! I did see that the Glamglow Lip Plumper got mixed reviews. Would you still say it is worth the hype? Your lips look full and plump!
