DB Approved: My Go-To Daytime Lip Colours for a Chic and Effortless Look
Lip color can completely transform a look, even during the day when you want something fresh and comfortable. For me, a perfect daytime lip is all about a balance of definition, hydration, and effortless wear. Below, I’m sharing my favorite go-to products that make my lips look naturally sculpted and nourished, all while feeling lightweight and comfortable. Think understated glam—just enough to elevate any daytime vibe without feeling overdone.
1. Lisa Eldridge Sculpt and Shade Lip Pencil in 02 + Balm on Top
I love the Lisa Eldridge Sculpt and Shade Lip Pencil in 02 for a natural, perfectly defined lip. This shade is just right for creating a subtle contour that enhances my natural lip shape without looking too precise. I love pairing it with a balm for a softer, effortless look.
On top, I usually apply the Prada Lip Balm or Mecca Cosmetica’s Lip De Luscious Balm—both are wonderfully hydrating and give a hint of shine that brings the whole look together. It’s a combination that’s perfect for running errands or heading to a casual lunch—it says, “I care, but not too much.”
Why I Love It:
• The pencil defines without being harsh, giving a natural sculpted effect.
• The added balm keeps my lips hydrated and adds a glossy, chic finish.
2. Ilia Hydrating Lip Pencil in Pampas
Another daytime favorite is the Ilia Hydrating Lip Pencil in Pampas. This one is great for adding a bit more color while keeping things light and comfortable. It’s a muted mauve that works beautifully to enhance my natural lip color without overpowering my makeup. The formula is super hydrating and comfortable, so I never worry about my lips feeling dry or cracking.
Why I Love It:
• Pampas is such a versatile color, perfect for day-to-day wear with just enough pigment.
• The hydrating formula feels nourishing and keeps my lips looking plump.
The Takeaway: Effortless Daytime Lips
Whether it’s a casual brunch or a busy day filled with meetings, these daytime lip combos are my go-to for an elevated, naturally enhanced look. I love that each option gives me a little definition and a whole lot of comfort—because lips that feel good are just as important as lips that look good. If you’re looking to embrace
understated chic, these are DB Approved staples that make a subtle yet impactful difference.
