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...

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 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.

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...
