5 Matte Lip Combos Using Pretty Smack Shades That You Need to Try

Pretty Smack was designed for the woman with a story—and sometimes, one shade isn’t enough to tell it. If you love to mix, layer, and create custom lip looks, these combos are for you.

Here are 5 lip combos using our matte liquid lipstick shades that will have your lips talking before you even say a word:

⸻

1. “Bold & Brave”

Voluptuous (red) + Brave (black)

Start with Brave along the outer edges of your lips, then fill in the center with Voluptuous for a fierce ombré that says “I’m not here to play.” Perfect for nighttime slayage or high-drama glam.

⸻

2. “Office to After Hours”

Working Girl (terracotta brown) + Baddie (peachy nude)

Start with Working Girl as your base, then layer Baddie in the center to soften it. It’s the perfect power lip that transitions effortlessly from daytime meetings to rooftop drinks.

⸻

3. “Midas Touch”

Enchanting (metallic bronze/gold) + Enticing (plum purple)

Apply Enticing first for rich depth, then press Enchanting into the center for a metallic pop that turns heads. This combo is giving “mystical CEO energy”—and we love that for you.

⸻

4. “Soft But Smacked”

Classic Nude (ladylike beige) + Sophisticated (deep brown)

Outline with Sophisticated, then fill in with Classic Nude. Blend slightly with a brush or your finger for a soft, sculpted nude lip. Add lashes and you’re good to go.

⸻

5. “Hot on the Scene”

Hottie (hot pink) + Emerald (bold green)

For the fearless. Use Hottie on your top lip and Emerald on the bottom—or blend the two for an editorial moment. This one is made for creators, artists, and women who break the rules.
