The 7 Best Lip Combos I Swear By
My Favorite Lip Combos
One of my favorite parts of doing makeup is curating lip combos that completely transform a look. Whether you’re going for a barely-there vibe or a more statement pout, the perfect liner-lip-gloss pairing can tie it all together. Here are 7 lip combinations I swear by—categorized by tone, finish, and overall mood.
1. Warm Nude Pink
• Lip Liner: Makeup For Ever Lip Liner in Wherever Walnut
• Lipstick: Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick in Dancefloor Princess
• Gloss: Armani Beauty Lip Gloss in Candy Halo
This is the ultimate warm nude pink—it enhances your natural lip tone with just enough definition and warmth for everyday glam.
2. Light Nude
• Lip Liner: Charlotte Tilbury Lip Liner in Iconic Nude
• Lipstick: YSL Loveshine Lipstick in Nude Lingerie
• Gloss: Makeup by Mario Lip Gloss in Bare
A soft beige-nude combo that’s chef’s kiss with a smoky eye or for a fresh, barely-there bridal look.
3. Another Nude Pink
• Lip Liner: Makeup By Mario Lip Liner in Hugh
• Lipstick: Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick in In Love with Olivia
• Gloss: Tower 28 Lip Gloss in Pistachio
This one leans slightly cooler, perfect for those who want a more muted pink that still looks effortlessly pretty.
4. Another Light Nude
• Lip Liner: Makeup by Mario Lip Liner in Almond
• Lipstick: Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick in Kim K.W

Romantic and classic, this is my go-to soft rose combo for engagement sessions, spring weddings, and date nights.
6. Rich Brown
• Lip Liner: MAC Lip Pencil in Chestnut
• Lipstick: Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick in So 90s
• Gloss: Fenty Beauty Lip Gloss in Hot Chocolit
If you love a bold 90s-inspired lip or want a touch of drama, this rich brown combo is confident, sultry, and luxe.
7. Soft Berry

This is the ideal everyday berry—sheer, glossy, and totally wearable for fall weddings or that effortless “I just threw this on” vibe.
