For someone that has a draw full of lipsticks I seem to be lacking easy to wear, everyday lip options. The, brace yourselves *your lips but better* lipsticks that look perfect with any look are on my radar – here’s the options I currently have in my collection, if you have any other recommendations then please let me know.
The Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfectors £18
1) Rosewood Shimmer, picture on the left
2) Rose Shimmer, picture on the right.
First of all I don’t agree with the hefty price tag of £18 for these, but I’m yet to find any product that competes on the highstreet. The Clarins Lip Perfectors are one of a kind, they are so comfortable and add only a slight amount of colour with a glossy yet natural looking finish. They don’t last particularly long but they wear really well and feel lovely once applied. My favourite out of the two is the nude shade, it’s pretty much always in my handbag.
MAC Lustre finish lipsticks £15.50
1) Plink, picture on the left
2) Patisserie, picture on the right
I never used to appreciate the lustre finish lipsticks from MAC, but they have slowly become one of my favourites for an easy to wear subtle wash of colour that feels comfortable throughout the day. They don’t last particularly long Admittedly Plink and Patisserie are pretty similar, but my patisserie is by fay my favourite of the two with more of a rose pink finish rather than baby pink. Both of these shades have small flexes of glitter/ shimmer running through them which help to make the lips look more plump/ full too.
Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick Bitch Perfect £23 – picture on the left
Nars Satin Lip Pencil Descanso £20 – picture on the right
Bitch Perfect was probably one of my most used shades of 2016. Similar to Patisserie it’s a comfortable, easy to wear lipstick that looks nice with any makeup look. Out of all the shades this is the most long lasting which is one of the reasons I kept reaching for it. A more recent addition to my collection is the Nars lip pencil in Descanso, this is a gorgeous nude with a peach undertone so it will be perfect for spring/ summer. It lasts really well and fades evenly so it’s a hassle free, easy lip product.
Rimmel Kate Moss 56 Boho Nude – £6.49
Lastly I wanted to include a more affordable option. This is slightly different to the other lipsticks as it has much more pigmentation and a creamy formulation, but it’s still one of those lipsticks that I can just throw on with any look. Rimmel lipsticks never fail to impress me, the formulation is fab as they are long lasting without being drying, and I always seem to find a fair few shades that I love. A real winner is you’re looking for an affordable beige toned nude.

I love this colour range, it's so me! Who doesn't love a your lips but better shade, it's ideal for everyday use! I really need to get my hands on some of those MAC lipsticks!Charlotte / Charlotte's Picks
Glad you like them lovely, you can't go wrong with MAC lipsticks! x
I really love the look of the Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick! I might treat myself to one for my birthday in April 🙂 Xxhttp://get-ready-with-laura.blogspot.de
It's the perfect shade for spring and its a lovely lipstick in general, so I would agree with you there 😉 xx
This is such a handy post! I really want to get into wearing more lippies, especially gloss so those Clarins ones look perfect! XxLucy x // http://lucy-cole.co.uk
Glad you've found it useful Lucy! The Clarins lip perfectors are a staple, so good
These shades look lovely! Descanso is my favourite! :)Emily / The Mini Mermaid
It's quite new to my collection but I really like it, think I might wear it tomorrow actually 🙂
Ooo these are great. The mac ones look great! I use Creme D'Nude and Japanese Maple from mac a lot :)Jaynie Shannon | Beauty & Lifestylexx
Ahh Creme D'Nude is such a classic! I used to wear that quite a while ago but I'm so pale that it just doesn't suit me, so lucky that you can pull it off, I bet it looks stunning! x
I love nude lips for every day and even more so for nighttime tbh, I think they look amazing with a more intense eye look. I love Celebrity Skin by Jeffree Star and Brave from Mac, my two go-tos. xMegan | http://www.meganjean.co.uk
Ahh yes I'm the same, although I go for something more intense like MAC Velvet Teddy, I love it! I've heard so much about Celebrity Skin, it looks like the perfect nude x
You've reminded me how much I loved the Clarins lipglosses! I have Petal Shimmer and it's so pretty. Lovely post! xoLove, Catherine
Thank you Catherine, glad you liked it! They're such a classic x
My faves are twig and mocha from Mac , they're satins and are pretty easy to wear too!Instagram | Blog
Yeah I have twig but I find it to be quite dark on me, still such a lovely shade though! x
I've tried all of these and love them! Need to get some new shades of the Clarins though :)Ella xx]http://www.ellaryder.com/
Yes, Clarins is a must have!
I love MAC Patisserie, it's one of my favourite nudes! xwww.abeautyromance.comwww.abeautyromance.com
Lovely isn't it, I blame The Anna Edit!!
I've been hearing a lot about those Clarins ones! I usually love a lipstick, but I think in the colder months, the dryer my skin gets the more I like the "no lipstick" lipstick. I have to say I have a couple of Lustre finishes from Mac and they definitely started growing on me this season too! xxwww.iridescentplaces.com
I'm exactly the same, on the odd occasion I'll reach for a matte finish and my lips feel so dry afterwards. I really love the Clarins lip perfectors, they're moisturising and actually add a nice finish to the lips xx
Bitch Perfect is one of my favourite shades, I need to use it more. I love the sound of the Clarins Lip Perfectors. I really like the Clinique chubby sticks for everyday wear too xxLPage Beauty
It's so nice isn't it, I love the finish of the K.I.S.S.I.N.G range, really need to try more shades. Ahh I had a tester from a magazine a while back but I wasn't keen on the shade, I remember it being really nice for a sheer finish though! x
ah this combo is so pretty, i love them all. i got the charlotte tilbury minis last year and bitch perfect was my favourite.jen | velvet spring
These are such beautiful shades! I love the look of MAC lustre lipsticks xwww.wildfirecharm.com
my current favourite everyday lip product is the makeup revolution 'dusky' lipstick xxwww.ourfloralworldmail.wixsite.com/sparkleandshine
Bitch Perfect looks like the most perfect nude shade! http://www.beautyfromkatie.blogspot.com

All these nudes look lovely on you. I recently bought CT Penelope Pink which I think you would also love 🙂 Who needs an excuse to buy CT right? I definitely need to pick up the Rimmel one on my next Boots visit! Karishma xxhttp://beneaththebrush.com
I love these! Im not the biggest fan of the glossy ones, but that's just me preferring more matte finishes.
I love lipsticks like these because you don't even have to really think about it! I really love a L'Oreal one, I think it's called Fairest Nude or something like that! xSick Chick Chic
