Here at CollegeCandy, we’ve talked a lot about the beauty of the bold lip. While we’ll always love a good red/hot pink/purple/orange lipstick, we do know that sometimes a girl needs something a bit more muted.
Enter the MLBB lipstick shades. MLBB stands for My Lips But Better, and these are the shades that’ll take your natural lip color and stay faithful to it, adding a little bit of pigment to really make them stand out. An MLBB shade will also even out the tone of your lips, making them look super smooth and gorgeous.
The great thing about these MLBB shades is that they’re the perfect thing to pair with heavy eye makeup or a lot of bronzer/brush. They add just enough color so that your lips don’t get lost on your face, but are subtle enough that they won’t pull focus. These shades are also so easy to just toss in your bag and apply wherever you need a little hint of natural-looking color.
Of course, finding the perfect MLBB shade is personal. What really flatters one person may look strange on another – it’s just a matter of trying on a few shades to figure out which one is best for you. These colors are a great jumping off point.
