Cheating Perfect Lips

Despite being a well documented lipstick fan there are sometimes days when I just don't feel like wearing anything - mostly when either my make up is taking a turn for the minimal side or if I know I'm about to tuck into a massive burger without a single regard for elegance and would rather not have it smeared all over my chin.

Unfortunately not being blessed with perfectly even lips I often feel like I'm going bare when theres a zero product situation, but I've recently found that a combination of lip balm and liner - in particular the NUXE Reve de Miel offering and the Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat in Pink Venus, to be the perfect way to correct my wonky lips and add a touch of colour. The lip pencil is one of those Holy Grail 'my lips but better' shades and blends into the balm to give a sheer wash of pink that, thanks to the matte finish of both products, imitates that natural texture of my lips perfectly. The waxy formula also sticks around for hours while the balm keeps everything hydrated for a simple but polished pout, giving the illusion that you're wearing nothing at all.
