They were so smart to have lipsticks with matching liners for no more guess work. No more worrying about this, ColourPop has you covered. Do you have the problem of matching a lip liner to a lipstick? Well, I do! You find the perfect purple shade but the lip liners out there are not purple enough (more red) or too dark almost black with a gray tint. Now I am excited to bring you their newest products added to their brand- Lippies (lipstick) and lip liners. A couple of posts back I shared some swatches of the Colour Pop Super Shock Shadows (view the post here) and a YouTube tutorial featuring the new fall color MOTH here. I've been raving about this brand for awhile now because their products are AMAZING and affordable. ** Picture taken in natural daylight with no filters, Skin tone NC40** Here's a swatch of Velvet Teddy Lipstick, Whirl Lip Liner, and NYX Mauve Lip Liner to give you a comparison of the colors. I searched through my pile of lip liners and found NYX Cosmetics Lip Liner in Mauve. I wanted something in the same color family (mauve-beigey tone) but not purple. It was too bland no definition whatsoever- basically just blended right into the coloring of my lips. Defined and filled in my lip with the liner and I instantly knew it wouldn't do it for me. I decided to give it a try and match it with Whirl Lip Liner (a Kylie Jenner favorite). I wouldn't even think that this shade would be one of the most sought after shades because of it's celebrity influence (ahem Kylie Jenner). Everyday for 5 years I would see this shade on the lipstick displayer and I really didn't think anything of it. Being a lipstick junkie (especially MAC Lipsticks) I never really paid attention to this shade. I've been receiving a lot of inquiries (from friends and clients) about the matte nudey-deeper beige lipstick- Velvet Teddy by MAC Cosmetics.
