These unique cool-toned shades (roughly ranging from grey to lilac) have been extremely popular recently, and are some of my favourites to wear on a daily basis. These types of shades (depending on their undertone) can suit a lot of skin tones. On me they pull a slightly 'gothic' vibe due to my extremely fair skin, but I'm not mad it at.

FAVOURITES

In terms of formula, I find that I reach a lot for my Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in 'Baci' - it lasts the longest, wears out evenly (if it wears off at all), and is extremely comfortable on the lips. However I tend to notice that it can get a bit dark throughout the day. If I want that true lilac/greige shade to remain the same throughout the day, I pick up BH Cosmetics' 'Muse'. The formula is opaque and smooth and dries comfortably, and it does not budge. It's great value for money (USD $8 each on their website) and I wish they brought out more shades! Australis' 'Phenom-penh' is also one of my favourites because of the colour - it has the greige lip look, but it has a slightly rosey tone. I find this shade the most wearable (and the most affordable in Australia), and suits more skin tones than what a classic 'greige' would. I found that LA Splash's 'OG Ghoulish' is extremely similar to Jeffree Star's 'Posh Spice' (not pictured, it's lost in a handbag somewhere), however the LA Splash formula lasts slightly longer.
