I'm not a big makeup geek, wait I'm not even a small makeup geek, I like to think of makeup as socially acceptable face paint if we're being honest. Nonetheless when I find a product I like and I think I can apply well, my happiness level of the day increases. On this particular day I was especially proud of discovering my new favourite pinky nude combo.
I only say new because when I was younger I used to own a really dark brown lip liner I got from my mum and pink vaseline and that would be my combo; and one time my mum complimented it and even though the pencil is really small I still keep it as a reminder of my awesome combo moment not even having a high opinion of myself I was just so proud.

Dun da duun! If you want to know what that awesome combo is it's a first layer of Primark lip liner in brown along the outline and in the sides with Sleek Eau la la liner in dragon fruit tapped in the middle, I say tapped because it's actually a really bold colour and I'm not really big on rocking bold lips everyday. I then finish it off with a coat of the clear Maybelline superstay 24hr lip colour (this one is in the shade 542 cherry pie if you're interested), this is mainly because it adds a glossy finish to these matte lip liners which I loveeee <3 It also balances out the colours making them less bright and more blended in together so it looks more like a proper lip look then just a few slicks and taps of brown and pink.
Here's the finished look that I am very much enjoying, I love, love, love this combo as it's the perfect balance between brown and pink but you also have so much freedom to add more or less depending on what you want!
