In 2023, girls didn't keep their favorite lip combinations to themselves, but instead opened their makeup bags and spilled the most popular items.
From precise lip liners and hydrating lip oils to shimmering glosses and classic full-beat lipsticks, one thing's for sure: the lip combinations were endless. While celebrities in Hollywood have access to some of the best makeup artists in the world for red carpet events, these same stars are more likely to let down the veil via social media and in turn reveal the makeup tips they've learned the way.
Throughout the year, celebs like Hailey Bieber, Megan Thee Stallion and Kylie Jenner revealed their favorite lipstick and lipliner combinations, ultimately setting makeup trends.
More of a strawberry girl than a cherry cola lover? How about a bolder beauty lover who isn't afraid of a little blue lip moment?
Regardless of your personal aesthetic, here are the six most elite lip combinations celebrities have shared in 2023.
Hailey Bieber's Strawberry Girl Lip
If there was one viral lip product that defined 2023, it was undoubtedly the Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment ($16). And while Hailey Bieber has rocked many a lip combination this year alone, this ultra-natural “strawberry girl makeup” look reigned supreme.
Bieber lined her lips with the NYX Slim Lip Pencil Creamy Long-Lasting Lip Liner in Nude Truffle ($5) before adding her Rhode lipstick.
Kylie Jenner's Cherry Cola lip gloss
ICYMI, “Cherry Cola Lips” had its leading man moment, and the girls online are obsessed with the sensual technique.
Kylie Jenner is one of many bringing back the '90s lip trend and recently revealed her favorite lip combination for this look. She first lined her lips with the Kylie Cosmetics Precision Pout Lip Liner in Cocoa ($17) before blending her brand's matte liquid lipstick set in the shade Better Not Pout ($35). For the glossy finish, she added the Gloss Drip in Fall In Love ($18) to the entire look.
Sofia Richie's Wedding Day Serve
Sofia Richie Grainge's wedding in the south of France is closely linked to the “quiet luxury” trend that officially took off in 2023. Her glamor from makeup artist Pati Dubroff also ties in with the vibrant aesthetic.
Richie's soft, peachy lip is thanks to the Chanel Rouge Coco Baume in Pink Delight ($45), along with subtle lip contouring with the DIBS Beauty No Pressure Lip Definer in Light ($16).
Megan Thee Stallion's frosty blue lip
Megan Thee Stallion is a total glamorous chameleon and has been looking amazing throughout 2023. Of particular note is her metallic blue lipstick moment from June.
In a photo on the 'gram, she revealed that her exact lip combo is the Revlon ColorStay Eyeliner in Black Violet ($10.29) and the Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Frost Queen ($8.69).
Rosalía's 4-step lip combo
Rosalía is a Latina hitmaker who is frequently seen on the runway. Her approach to beauty and fashion has proven to be quite influential.
This November, she revealed exactly how she gets her signature red-tinted pout via TikTok. She starts by lining her lips with the NYX Suede Matte Velvet Vegan Lip Liner in Cold Brew ($5) and takes the time to apply the product with a small, fluffy brush. She then applies Byredo's Lipstick in Earth Dust ($50) and Benefit Cosmetics Benetint Liquid Lip Blush & Cheek Tint ($24) to the center of her lips. For a glossy finish, she opts for Kylie Cosmetics Pomegranate Lip Oil ($25).
Alix Earle's glossy everyday pout
In the world of TikTok influencers, Alix Earle has quickly risen to the top and has over six million followers on the platform alone.
While the influencer has shared countless lip combinations on her TikTok, there are always a few constant favorites. In particular, she's known for rocking the Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Lip Liner in Pillow Talk ($25) along with the Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Balm in Rose ($24) for an everyday, ultra-natural look.
