I’ve been doing this lip technique for as long as I can remember—mostly because I never loved the harsh contrast of liner vs. lipstick. I just wanted it soft + blended. My trick? Using my fingers to smudge the liner + pat everything in for that blurred, natural look. Turns out it’s actually a technique makeup artists use too! Easy, wearable, and perfect for a Monday lip. Also—this lip combo from Pat McGrath is the perfect transition into that almost-fall lippie 🍂💄 Soft, wearable, and gives just enough color to feel like a seasonal switch-up. Do you prefer a soft diffused lip or a crisp, defined lip? LTKSeasonal LTKBeauty LTKFindsUnder50
