This blog will show you one look, created with four different products! I plan to do more of these 1 - 4 series, so hopefully you'll find this helpful! Note that all the following pictures look very similar, but that's because I like this look in a particular shade of pink, so all my products are in the same shade!
The first look is created with lip stain, smooch proof 16H lip stain by NYC to be exact. I believe that the color is '494'. Because lip stain doesn't have any shine to it, I applied a little clear lipgloss on top of it to blend out the color a little better and to add some shine.
The second look is created with lip tint. I used gel tint by essence and the color is 01: hot red. I use red lip tint to create a pink look because I've learned that the color turns out a lot lighter when you start blending it out. If you want your lips to turn out red, I recommend getting a dark red color! My gel tint actually has enough shine by itself so I didn't have to use any clear lipgloss.
The third look was created with lipgloss. I used 180: little red dress by Catrice, but the color is actually pink, both in the bottle and on my lips. Again, no need for clear lipgloss because the pink one already had a nice shine to it.
The fourth and final look was created with lipstick. I used two shades and blended the colors together. First I applied NYC's 417: flirty, and then nearly on the inside of my lips I applied a tiny bit of the Hema's volumising lipstick, a pretty red color in the shade 06.
Personally, I prefer using a combination of lip stain and lip tint, because the lip stain lasts really long and the gel tint adds just the right amount of shine. When it comes to the separate products and looks, here's my personal top 4:
1. Lip stain.
I carry it around with me all the time. It's really easy to apply and I don't need a mirror to re-apply it. Bad side is that I have to use a clear lipgloss to make it look better.
2. Gel tint.
Like I mentioned before, it's a nice color and shine, but from my experience it doesn't last as long as most people claim it does.
3. Lipstick.
I think this look actually looks the best, but it takes more time to apply and if I want to re apply I have to have three different products (two lipsticks and clear lipgloss) with me all the time and I prefer carrying around as little as possible.
4. Lipgloss.
This is my least favorite product to use for this look on it's own because it doesn't give as much color. I do like to use it combined with lip stain, but on it's own it's not really my favorite.
