The secret to achieving a Bardot-esque
bouche is all in your choice of lip pencil. So when the VIOLET GREY team asked our artist community which nude lipliners they deem “best in class,” a majority (including
Monika Blunder,
Merrady Wickes,
Beau Nelson, and
Jamie Greenberg) cited
Charlotte Tilbury’s Lip Cheat. All praised its creamy texture and variety of neutral shades: Blunder loves the velvety finish, while Wickes is partial to the palette. “
Charlotte’s Lip Cheat liners come in the most amazing natural tones, which make ‘cheating’ the natural lip shape easy and believable,” adds Nelson. “They are literally the only
lip pencils I carry in my kit now.”
