Today's Lip of the Day is a mix of budget brands. I totally forgot I owned the Maybelline lipgloss, and it worked perfectly with the Black Opal lipstick!
My go-to brown lip liner is NYX Expresso. It's the $3 knockoff for MAC Chestnut. I apply it first, then rub my lips together like there's no tomorrow. The goal is to not have a super defined lip aka no harsh brown lines. The particular Black Opal lipstick that I have isn't as smooth and creamy as the others that I own, and kind of has that old lady lipstick smell. Either way, I'm pleased with the results!
