If you are looking for work-appropriate lip combos, then here’s a hit list straight from the Editor’s desk. We asked our fellow Nykaaites what their go-to lip combo for work is, and here are their recommendations.
The perfect lip combo is one that not only complements your outfit but also helps you stand out. Everyone has their own lip combo that works for them, one that suits the season, the weather, and the atmosphere around them. One that’s functional and also aesthetically pleasing. Working at Nykaa allows me to experiment with different styles, shades, and formulations, while also asking others around me to inspire me so I can try new lip combos, creating infinite looks with the numerous lip products that are available in the beauty ecosystem.
With the Nykaa Pink Friday Sale approaching us, it is the perfect time to buy new lipsticks, shades, hues, and formulations you have never tried at an affordable price, so even if a shade is not your vibe, it won't pinch your wallet. So, what’s the wait? Read what our editors like to swipe on their lips on a regular day so you can stock up on those essentials, too. After all, who doesn’t love a good lipstick recommendation?
What The Nykaa Amry Wears On Their Lips?
Here are some my our beauty editor’s go-to lip combos for work.
Drishti’s All Day Tint
“When I am at work, I like to keep things subtle and sober. So, my go-to is a highly pigmented yet barely there colour that lasts all day long. It’s the Benefit Cosmetics’ viral sensation, the Benetint Lip & Cheek Tint. This tint is so strong, 2-3 dabs on the lips get the job done. It makes my lips look natural, and more importantly, pigmented and bright. I also add a few drops on my cheeks for that naturally flushed look. Pro Tip: When you apply the Benetint on your cheeks, make sure to blend it fast, because the quick-dry formula stains faster than the speed of light. To make my lips look even and bigger, I pair the Kay Beauty Lip Liner with my lip tint for that defined look.”

Riddhima’s Charlotte Tilbury Obsession
“If I could get Charlotte Tinbury to sponsor me, I would be over the moon, because I am heavily invested in the brand and in its products. The rich pigment, effortless glide, and last colour payoff are unmatched, and I simply cannot do without my CT-combo, as I like to call it. I discovered their PillowTalk collection way before Alia made it popular, but I am glad she is finally getting the recognition it deserves. I start with the creamy PillowTalk bullet for the colour and follow it with a lip gloss in the same shade for that unparalleled shine and hydration. I even got my mum hooked on this, and now we both share our lip combos whenever we head out to a function or work.”

Gauravee’s Plump Lips FTW
“Contrary to popular belief, I find my lips to be too small and flat, so my daily go-to includes a plumping gloss that I wear to make my lips appear fuller and plumper. But before I go in with the plumper, I apply a thin layer of the classic Nivea lip balm in strawberry for hydration, protection, and nourishment. Followed by hearty swipes of e.l.f. Pluming gloss in the shade, Mauve Lady.”

My Matte Madness
“I love matte lipsticks, especially liquid mattes, because they don’t budge, transfer, or sweat off with all the food and drinks I consume in a day. At work, I love wearing browns that even out my complexion and brighten my face. I pair this liquid matte with an intense, high-pigment lip liner that gives my lips a better defined structure and outline. It makes them appear bigger and fuller. For my liner, I opt for a darker brown, like a dark chocolate brown lip liner from Swiss Beauty.”
