Finding the perfect lip combination is an art that needs to be studied. Juicy gloss or sleek matte? Warm or cool tones? Will a lip liner do or are the lip stain big guns coming out? Whittling down the best lip combo for that makeup look or occasion can take time, and a lot of product testing, especially with so many to scroll through on TikTok.
To help, we’re spilling four of our favourite, fail-safe trending lip combos here at BEAUTY BAY. Easy to apply and even easier to wear, take your pick from warm-toned daytime lip combos and high-shine cherry lips. You never know, your new go-to could be one of these lip combo trends.
What are the best lip combos?
The best lip combo depends on the rest of your makeup, as this will determine whether you’ll need a lip look with a cool or warm tone. But to help you find your favourite, these are some of ours:
1. 90s lip combo
Lauren wears: All Hours Lip Stain in Crush and Lip Liner in Whip
Wondering how to get 90s lips? Our pinky-taupe All Hours Lip Stain in Crush is the perfect cool-toned 90s brown lip colour. Swipe it on and leave for 60 seconds, before wiping away to reveal a no-budge, no-smudge wearable wash of colour. Build it up or leave as one layer, depending on how 90s you want to go. Finish the brown-on-brown look by lining your lips with our lip liner in the shade Lip Liner in Whip, an ashy brown-nude, and either blend out or leave as a bold frame. This duo nails the 90s makeup aesthetic.
2. Pink lip combo
Summer wears: All Hours Lip Stain in Crave and Super Plump Lip Gloss
The best pink lip combos, in our opinion, are always glossy – which is why we’re obsessing over this one. Our All Hours Lip Stain in Crave leaves behind a pretty plum-pink shade which flatters all skin tones. Either layer it up for extra pigment, or leave it looking more natural with just one coat. For added oomph, we like to swipe on our Super Plump Lip Gloss which leaves your lips looking fuller with a high-shine finish.
3. Cherry-cola lip combo
Nicole wears: Hyper-Gloss Lip Click in Bitten and Lip Liner in Vintage
It wouldn’t be a round-up of the best lip combos without a nod to the cherry-cola lip combo. Our Hyper-Gloss Lip Click in Bitten leaves lips coated with a cherry-red shade that can be layered or swiped on once for a more sheer wash of colour. When paired with our Lip Liner in Vintage, which is a delicious rich brown colour, that cherry-coke lip trend is secured.
4. Teddy lip combo
Orin wears: Hyper-Gloss Lip Click in Teddy and Lip Liner in Heather
Teddy lips might just be our most worn lip look at BEAUTY BAY. Perfect for day and night, it fits perfectly with pretty much any eye look as it’s a versatile deep-toned beige shade. Our Hyper-Gloss Lip Click in Teddy give lips a warm, high-shine, non-sticky finish. And our pink-toned nude Lip Liner in Heather pairs as a match made in heaven for that perfectly blended look.
