Greige: How to rock this season’s hottest lip colour with Inglot
So anyone else utterly obsessed with grey-toned beige lipsticks?! Just like how overalls and chokers are totally back, the ’90s trend definitely has crossed over into cosmetics as well.
I have a few different greige (grey-beige, get it?) colours but Inglot recently sent me two items from their new What A Spice! collection, which is available this fall/winter. The collection features rich browns, reds, and beige-toned colours that are seasonally appropriate.
The lip products they sent over mix old and new, as the colour is so ’90s but it’s also a matte finish. The What A Spice! Matte Lipstick in 442 (C$19) is a brown shade with a hint of grey in it and is totally the most on-trend colour this season. These lipsticks contain Vitamin E, macadamia oil and avocado oil for moisture. With that being said, I did find this lipstick hard to apply since it was quite dry. I asked Inglot about this (maybe I just got a bad one?) and they insisted that it’s supposed to be like that. This lipstick is super matte, there’s no shine, so unlike a liquid lipstick that dries matte and then tends to flake, this one applies matte to begin with and doesn’t dry out the lips (which is common with matte liquid lipsticks), which is why you really need to apply it with a heavy hand.
To pair with the lipstick, they sent along the What A Spice! Colour Play Lipliner in 321 (C$17). These lip liners contain shea butter and are long lasting. The lip liner does apply much more creamy and matches the lipstick colour perfectly. You can also just wear the lip liner by itself since it its quite pigmented and also applies super matte.
Just like other matte liquid lipsticks, I do feel like this lipstick and liner makes my lips look bigger, and the colour and formula is just so flattering when applied. I don’t find the lipstick to be that long lasting, but it could just be the colour since it’s on the darker side. If you plan on eating or drinking, make sure you have this handy since you’ll need to reapply it.
Since the lipstick is such a showstopper, I love pairing this colour with a simple eye look. Go with a deep gel liner to create a winged line and make sure your lashes are look fab. Inglot’s gel liner is a cult classic (in fact, it’s their number-one selling product). In shade 77, the AMC Eyeliner Gel (C$22) contains treated pigments and film formers which insures long-lasting pigmented colour. This eyeliner is incredibly black but you need to be careful when applying it since it’s super creamy.
I absolutely love this look since it’s so simple to achieve, and it’s also perfect for fall. I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve worn that lipstick; it’s a must for the season!
