I am all about that 'your lips but better' look when it comes to lips. As much as I love a bold lip, this look is my go to everyday lip look... or if I'm going all out on the eye make up then these colours are what I gravitate towards to avoid over doing it.
These are my 3 favourite nude/pink lip liners 2 from the drug store and one high end brand:
Swatches from L-R
Rimmel Exaggerate Lip Liner in East End Snob
Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat in Pillowtalk
Jordana Easy Liner for Lips in Tawny
Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat in Pillowtalk
This is Holy Grail stuff. The best lip liner I think I have ever used. It is so creamy yet long lasting, and the perfect ' your lips but better' colour. It is a pinky-nude colour on me and I often wear it alone because it isn't as drying as other lip liners, but it also looks great under nude/pink lipsticks and enhances their wear time. This has a 7 hour wear time alone and will hold even after eating and drinking. Definitely worth the money!
Rimmel Exaggerate Lip Liner in East End Snob
This is considered the drugstore dupe for the Chartlotte Tilbury Pillowtalk liner. I personally don't find it that similar in colour. On me this is much more mauve whereas Pillowtalk is more of a nude pink. The texture is similar though- although I find this one a little too soft. I do really enjoy wearing this as an everyday liner and it has a good amount of staying power.
Jordana Easy Liner for Lips in Tawny
So technically the Jordana liner is 'drugstore' in America. I do purchase mine in bulk from Amazon because I use it constantly, it works out better to buy a few and pay less shipping. I usually pay around £7 for 3 which is pretty cheap!
This has a subtle reddy-brown under tone, it's semi-matte on the lips and lasts all day. It's slightly darker than my own lip colour, so I use this liner over the whole lip instead of just as a liner, to avoid that awkward line when it wears off.
