If you’ve ever struggled to find your perfect lip colour, you’re not alone. In the west, the rule of thumb for finding your ideal nude shade is to, well, look at the colour of your nipples (no, seriously). Needless to say, for most of our Malaysian skin tones, that logic doesn’t quite track. As for finding the perfect pink, red, or peach lip, trying to decipher the vast world of undertones can be overwhelming, to say the least. Basically, when it comes to finding the perfect lip shade, the process is quite the ordeal.
At least, that’s what we thought until we encountered TikTok’s latest craze. User @yokenzieb has cracked the code for ladies of all skin tones, and it’s an absolute gamechanger. In a humourous clip, she explains her foolproof technique to scoring the perfect lip shade:

Shout out to all the gworls
TL;DW? Here’s the low-down:
- Line your lips with your regular eyebrow pencil
- Fill in the middle of your lip with your go-to blush
- Top it off with some gloss
And there you have it: How to score the perfect lip without using lip products (unless you’d like to bring a little extra oomph into your look, of course). While it’s not the most long-wearing combo (and its results are definitely dependent on how you do your everyday makeup), if you’re working off the beauty stash you use for your “no-makeup makeup” days, it’s almost always a winner.
Just for good measure, we gave the hack a go and this is how it turned out:
