How to Create a Simply Perfect Look By Matching Your Lipstick to Your Nail Polish

Jun 29, 2021

Perhaps you’ve always wanted to achieve a stunning, stylish look or mimic the makeup design of a glamorous Hollywood movie star, such as Marilyn Monroe,  but you’ve always talked yourself out of it. You’re not a beauty or makeup expert… and it takes too much time and effort to achieve that kind of look, right?

Wrong! It’s a common misconception that you have to be a really experienced beauty guru and do a full face of makeup or some other bold look everyday to feel elegant and glamorous. On the contrary, we think there’s no better way to elevate your everyday makeup look by simply adding a little bit of color that channels some of the elegance you’re looking for!


Sometimes simple is better! And one of the best ways to draw attention to your simple, but effective makeup style is to be color coordinated.


Matching colors tend to attract the eye. We take notice when colors go together and are aesthetically pleasing to look at. When you color coordinate something like your lipstick and nail polish, it makes you look polished, put together, and intentional about your look.


And the best part? This will give the impression that you’ve put a ton of time and effort into your look, when in reality it only took you a few minutes! You’ll have achieved a Hollywood inspired look with simple makeup and nail polish.


Now, if you’re anything like us, if you’re going to match, you want to REALLY match, right? Not just red and red or pink and pink, but the exact same shade.

Good news! We’ve got a whole line of matching lipstick and nail polish products for you to check out that perfectly compliment each other so that you never have to worry if you’re a shade off. 

 


Colors for Every Season

If you want to rock matching nail polish and lipstick for an effortlessly flawless look all year long, grab some colors for every season! 


Red Velvet


Some of us revert to darker colors as the temperature drops, leaning into the more somber tones of the winter months. We’d like to argue that a splash of color not only embodies the festivity to the season, but is a great way to brighten your spirits all season long!

Based on a shade from 1946, Red Velvet is available in matching nail polish and lipstick that both bring an effortless elegance to any outfit. These products are salon quality -- without the expense and effort of going to the salon!


Additionally, you can rest assured that each product is cruelty-free, for a glamorous look that’s also guilt free!


Portrait Pink


As we move into the spring, it’s nice to shift into more natural and pastel tones for a bright, fresh, and rejuvenated look. The sun is coming back, trees are turning green again, and it’s the perfect time to bring warm and sunny colors back into your life!
