The Brown Liner (Base)
The secret to the $40 lip? It's always the brown liner.
These 2 NYX Slim Lip Pencils are the exact dupes for the expensive ones. Creamy, long-lasting, $6 at Walmart/Target/Ulta. Espresso for deeper definition, Nude Truffle for everyday nude base.

My shade: Medium to tan skin, brown lip beginner. Espresso is DARK if you fill your whole lips. My way: only line the outer edge, don't fill. Fill center with Nude Truffle or Lifter Gloss Ice. Blend with finger, not brush. Lasts 6 hours with gloss, 3...
NYX Slim Lip Pencil - Espresso
Â
My shade: Fair to light-medium, everyday natural. Soft brown, not orange. I wear this for morning clinicals when I don't want it too bold. You can wear it alone without gloss. If your lips are dry, exfoliate with Vaseline Rosy first or it will crack.

The Viral Gloss (Dupe $40)
This is what TikTok is going viral for - glossy, plump, glass lips that look like luxury $40 lip oil but for $9.
I picked 4 best-sellers from Target & Walmart:
- Maybelline Lifter Gloss 002 Ice & 009 Topaz ($9.98) = Hyaluronic Acid, high-shi...

The hero gloss. This is the exact $40 Fenty dupe. Clear pink with hyaluronic acid so lips don't dry. Best topper for Espresso. Truly non-sticky — hair doesn't stick. I've repurchased 3x.
Maybelline Lifter Gloss Lip Gloss Makeup with Hyaluronic Acid Ice
Â
My ombre shade. Brownish nude hint, one swipe full coverage. If Ice is too pale for you, use Topaz. Warmer, perfect for medium/tan skin. My fav combo: Espresso liner + Topaz gloss.

Everyday safe shade. Mid-tone nude that works with every combo. Buttery, vanilla scent, doesn't show lip lines. If you're confused which gloss to buy first, get this — never fails. Even my mom loves it.

MUST USE before any combo. Photo $2.47 at Walmart in-store, online now $6.95 at Target (same 0.6oz tin). Light scrub with this, wipe off, then liner. Makes any combo last 2x longer and no patchiness. Tiny pink tint — if you're too lazy for full makeu...
