In the land of the reds and the pinks, there’s no better lip shade than your own
You’ve probably heard of Sunnies Face’s upgraded Lip Glaze menu and Maybelline’s 10-shade entry to the world of lip tints. It’s truly a time of innovation for the local beauty industry, with more shades being released and newer formulas being introduced. Though exciting for many, the oversaturation of the beauty market tends to become overwhelming to those who dream of finding their perfect lip: the ‘My Lips But Better’ shade, or the MLBB.

Jocelyn Yang
Issy Solar Balm in Playdate
Joce’s go-to MLBB shade is Playdate, a subtle dusty rose from Issy’s Solar Balm line. This nourishing lip balm also doubles as sunscreen for the lips. With SPF 30 PA+++, this lip balm hydrates the lips as much as it protects them.
Lierge Perey
Absidy Cashmere Kiss Lipstick in Dusk
Rising content creator Lierge uses the Absidy Cashmere Kiss Lipstick in the shade Dusk, a brown nude. Its weightless plush formula allows both the full application and a blotted one to give a casual, lived-in look.
Honey Delica
Kiko Milano Unlimited Double Touch in 131
The lifestyle and beauty content creator uses the Kiko Milano Unlimited Double Touch Liquid Lipstick in 131, a dusty tea rose that flatters her tanned skin. With its high pigment and 16-hour wear, no wonder it’s become a new favorite at BeautyTok.
Iya Omaña
Issy Gelée Lip Tint in Coquette
Issy’s Gelée Lip Tint in the shade Coquette is beauty influencer Iya’s MLBB must-have. This soft peachy-pink hue is the perfect morena-friendly shade.
Marj Maroket
blk cosmetics Pillow Matte in Taffy
Beauty guru Marj uses the blk cosmetics Pillow Matte in the shade Taffy, a terracotta pink. This shade looks good on morena skin due to its natural pop of color that flatters deeper complexions.
Finding your perfect MLBB shade can be tricky. But local brands stepping up with their continuous releases of desaturated lip colors makes it easy. Now, in a world of nudes and neutrals, the fun lies in figuring out which shade best suits you.
