Of all the beauty commandments we resonate with, this is the one that rings the most true: a single product is not enough to create the impression of a juicy, plumped, and dimensional pout. And as much as we love hybrid formulas (see: plumping lip oils) it stands to reason that we’ll have to compromise on something to achieve a specific result—whether that is colour payoff for a more volumised pout or hydration for a matte, velvety finish. This, however, begs the question: is it possible to get the best of both worlds? The answer is a resounding yes, though it comes with a caveat. That is, it hinges largely on if you’re using the right lip combinations.
The good news is that the lip formula market is highly saturated, which means you’ll definitely be spoilt for choice. From lip stains to liners and even glosses, the possibilities are endless depending on your mood or the occasion for the day. The trick lies in choosing the right products that play well with each other—which is where Vogue Singapore comes in. Spy a full curation of our go-to lip combinations as well as the looks that intrigued us most, straight off the runway and the Instagram feeds of prolific celebrities. Whether you’re aiming for something more natural or vampy, we have you covered with an edit of the best possible products needed to get the aesthetic. See it all, below, and don’t forget to moisturise heavily with a thick balm or lip mask before getting experimental. Pucker up.
