If you enjoy lipsticks to any degree, you would understand how tough it is to stick to just one in each shade. You literally just can’t have just one shade lipstick. Even for those who don’t wear a ton of makeup every day, lipstick is a must-have in every women’s bag. It’s tough to be satisfied with just one tone of nude or pinks and that’s when the hoarding begins. Raise your hand if your lip collection gets out of control at times. Here’s where owning a good lip palette comes in handy. Instead of ending up with an overflowing collection of lipsticks taking up all that space, a lip palette is much more practical.
Lucky for us, lip palettes come in a handful of colours that allow you to use them individually or mix them around to your heart’s content. Plus it totally saves time! So, if you’ve ever wished you could be in charge of manufacturing your own lipstick, a palette is the next best thing.
