Help finding my everyday “your lips but better” lip liner
Hi guys! I'm desperate to find my perfect everyday nude lip liner.
I'm looking for a pinky brown beige that gives that subtle "lip filler pout" look. I'm pretty pale and I think I'm neutral leaning more cool. My problem is that almost every liner either pulls too orange or too purple/mauve, and neither is what I'm after.
Here's what I've tried:
Makeup Forever Wherever Walnut & Anywhere Caffeine - absolutely not, looked like spaghetti sauce
Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk – too orange
Pillow Talk Fair – too light
Makeup by Mario Smokey Pink – beautiful, but pulls a little purple
Charlotte Tilbury Iconic Nude – close, but too dark
Makeup by Mario Toasty – great, but turns warm if I slightly overline
Sephora Collection Perfect Beige – probably the closest! I just wish it had a little more pink.
Kylie Comes Naturally – pulls purple
Rhode Lift - a little too pink
Sephora Collection Soft Suede - too mauve
Sephora Collection Pink Frosting – I use it as a base under warmer liners to cancel out the orange, and it helps, but I'd love to find one liner that doesn't need any tweaking.
I know cooler toned liners usually have some purple in them, but my lips are naturally pretty pink, so mauve shades don't look right on me. Am I being too picky? 😭 Does anyone have recommendations for that perfect pinky brown beige nude?
