How To Get Kylie's Lip Kit Look On A Budget
Whether you can't swing the cash for her rather pricey lip kits or just miss out on every lighting-fast launch, you aren't alone in not having your hands on Kylie Jenner's latest lip shades. Luckily, there are tons of ways to copy each and every shade for less. Here's how to get the Kylie Lip Kit look on a budget.
The Kylie Cosmetics Lip Kits retail for $29 and come with a liquid lipstick and matching lip liner. That price is the top of the food chain when it comes to liquid lipsticks, especially when you consider the drugstore now offers formulas for $7 or less. Plus, shipping ain't free — it costs $8.95 on top of sales tax, too.
What's more, Jenner's shades are nothing uncommon: warm, spicy nudes, pinks, browns, reds and now deep burgundy are all part of liquid lipstick collections everywhere. There are tons of alternatives on the market, and most are at the drugstore for less than half the price. Jenner's signature look is characterized by overdrawn, matte lips, but you don't have to take the same interpretation on these shades. Swap a matte lip for a lipstick, a gloss, or play with lip liner and lipstick combos to get a truly unique look that is inspired by Kylie's Lip Kits. The world is your (lipstick) oyster!
