Steal our go-to lip combo

Presented by Smashbox

Sponsored

If you’re anything like us, once you find something that works for you, you stick with it. Whether it’s your morning routine or your signature coffee order, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Recently, we found a new lip combo that’s earned a permanent spot in our rotation. Meet Smashbox’s Full Fill-ter Smoothing Lip Glass Balm and Studio Extreme Longwear Lip Liner. The liner delivers up to 16 hours of transfer-proof, smudge-free wear, while the gloss provides eight hours of hydration and a high-shine finish.

We love pairing the Medium Brown liner with Coax gloss. Or, opt for a perfect-for-fall combo: Deep Walnut liner with Unbuttoned gloss.
