THE NUDE LIP WITH SMASHBOX (& A GIVEAWAY!)

I think anyone that’s a reader of my blog will have clocked on to the fact that I’m really into my lip products. I’m a bit of a hoarder with an embarrassing collection, but I do love trying out something new. This week I’m using Smashbox’s Be Legendary collection, creating my favourite lip look with their clear Always Sharp Lip Liner, Be Legendary Matte Lipstick in Famous and Insta-Matte Lip Transformer.

Naturally, I opted for a matte, nude lip – a look I wear regularly. For long lasting colour, I started out with the Always Sharp Lip Liner, something that kind of fascinates me. I wasn’t sure how a clear lip liner would work at first, but it manages to act as a great base for lipstick, preventing any awkward smudges and bleeding. I tend to over line my lips a little to even them out, so this one is really handy for getting that precise application. The colour I’ve then gone over with, Famous is just my sort of shade - something I can wear for daytime, but also opt for with a smokey eye on an evening out.

To finish I just slicked on a bit of the Insta-Matte Lip Transformer and I was good to go! This one is a matte lipstick lover’s essential. You know the matte lipsticks you own that aren’t quite hitting your non-shiny standards? The struggles. Patting on a little bit of this blurs out any shine, without leaving your lips feeling like a crusty cob. I love that it means you can get two lipstick finishes out of one!

Have any of you checked out the new Be Legendary range? I’ve been searching the hashtag looking at shades from the rest of the range – I’m such a sucker for upping my shopping list via Instagram!
