Favourite Lip Pencils; High-end and Budget

I’ve been obsessed with lip pencils of late. The reason being I’m just too lazy and can’t be bothered to keep reapplying lipstick throughout the day. The perk of lip pencils, as we all know, is that they just last much much longer and these days they come in all kinds of shades and colours and can easily become a substitute for lipsticks.

If you’ve been following my blog for a while you will also know that I don’t really experiment that much with lip colours and tend to stick with the neutral shades. So it will come as no surprise that my current favourite lip pencils are nothing far from my comfort zone. Although the somewhat exciting part is that I managed to find two favourites from a complete different end of the price spectrum; one high-end and one budget, that I equally love.

1. Chartlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat in Iconic Nude (picture left). I feel like giving myself a pad on the back when I purchased this lip liner. Just because there’s been such a major hype on Charlotte Tiibury lip liner in ‘Pilliow Talk‘ but I’ve never heard anyone mentioned Iconic Nude. I know I didn’t get along with Pillow Talk’s drugstore dupe; Rimmel lip pencil in East End Snob (it’s just too pink for me), so I thought I would try a different shade that’s abit closer to heart. Iconic Nude is a gorgeous nude shade with a soft brown and slight pink undertone. For me personally this is much more wearable than Pillow Talk and you can totally rock a Kylie Jenner look with this one.

2. Max Factor Colour Elixir Lip Liner in Brown N Nude (picture right). I stumbled across this on one of my trips to Boots. The packaging just caught my eyes because it’s very similar to the Charlotte Tilbury’s one. I swatched a few colours but Brown N Nude really grabbed my attention because although it’s supposed to be a brown nude shade (as the name aptly suggests!), it has a lot of coral undertone that I thought would go quite well with my complexion. Well I wasn’t wrong there, it is a beautiful corally nude shade that really suits and brightens my face and will be great to wear this spring and summer.
