This fall and winter, I’ve been completely in love with deep berry lip shades.

Sometimes I like to experiment by mixing different liners and glosses until I find a combo that just works, and this one quickly became a favorite. It’s rich, flattering, and perfect for cozy seasonal vibes.

1. Revlon ColorStay Lip Liner – creamy and long-lasting

The Revlon ColorStay Lip Liner is a total game-changer. Its creamy formula glides on smoothly, making it easy to define and fill in lips without tugging. I love that it’s a twist-up liner, so there’s no need for sharpening, which is such a convenience. The shade Sienna is a great dupe for the Buxom Lip Liner in "Hush Hush Henna," giving the same deep, sophisticated berry tone at a fraction of the price. It’s perfect for creating a bold, polished lip look that lasts.

2. NYX Butter Gloss – soft, glossy finish

The NYX Butter Gloss pairs beautifully with the Revlon liner to soften and add dimension to the lips. It delivers a smooth, shiny finish without being sticky, enhancing the richness of the berry liner while keeping the look fresh and wearable. Layering the gloss over the liner creates a luscious, multidimensional effect that feels luxurious without being heavy.

This deep berry combo has quickly become my winter go-to. The creamy, long-lasting liner combined with the glossy, soft finish of NYX Butter Gloss creates a bold yet elegant lip that’s perfect for the season. Experimenting with layers and textures can completely elevate a look, making it rich, polished, and effortlessly stylish.
