It all started with my quest for the perfect coral lipstick… I researched online, tried on countless lipsticks at the MAC counter and after many failed attempts I decided that I was going to make my own. You see, I had this color in my head of what I wanted and I wasn’t going to give up until it became fully realized.
I decided that I would find the brightest, most orangey coral to start with and use pink lipsticks I already had laying around the house to design my perfect pinky coral. Enter Vegas Volt. MAC’s Vegas Volt is an Amplified Crème that is straight up orange on my complexion… well definitely on the orange side of coral — to say the least.
For the combinations below I started with Vegas Volt and then added the other lipsticks on top… had I started with Pink Pearl Pop it would have given me a slightly different result. Whichever lipstick you start with will usually have a stronger influence on the final result — unless you really pack the second color on top. I recommend doing a patting motion and then mixing the colors carefully with your lips. Using a lip brush is always another option!
You can also add a nude lippy like Hue or Myth to make your base lipstick appear more muted!
I didn’t apply them with a brush so the lip swatches appear a bit sloppy, sorry friends 🙂
VEGAS VOLT
PINK PEARL POP
VEGAS VOLT + PINK PEARL POP
VEGAS VOLT + PINK PEARL POP + LOVELORN = MY PERFECT CORAL LIPPY!
FYI, that is a tiny pebble that has been stuck in my lip since grade school…
Some other combos I’ve been LOVING:
Angel + Viva Glam V = AMAZING! This is my perfect everyday color!
Hue + Girl About Town = a beautiful bright berry color
Craving + Hue = muted magenta
Many of us have mixed lip products or even lipsticks, but this was the first time I purchased a lipstick for the sole purpose of mixing — so I thought it would be fun to share! 🙂
Hope you enjoyed! Thanks for reading!!

I love this idea, especially for some lipsticks I have that are too light and need some depth. Great post 🙂

Can't say I've ever thought too much about mixing different lipsticks together. Lip products in general yes but not actually lipsticks. It's amazing to see the difference it has on the colours. Looks great 🙂
