Thanks in part to the ever-ubiquitous Kylie Jenner, lip kits are experiencing a kind of renaissance. Suddenly, all of your favorite brands have their own take on the trend. Sure, some of them had their own lip sets before Kylie was even on the scene, but there's no denying the fact that she's had a hand in their fairly sudden and not-so-fairly massive popularity. It's cool, because it represents a whole new way to shop lip products -- now, you can buy your lip conditioners and balms together, or you can purchase complementary shades of lipstick and lip gloss in one fell swoop. Heck, if you're especially lucky, you might even be able to snag yourself cool special effects lip products to layer together for chicly unique new looks.
So, ready to officially up your lip game? Read on for 18 of our favorite lip kits.
For a truly next-level red lip, take Bae and Thirsty out for a spin. The one-two punch of redder-than-red lip liner and liquid lipstick will create a flawless, Old Hollywood-esque look. And to make it even better, the pencil is smooth, and the matte full-coverage lipstick has a light mousse-y texture for all-day comfort.
If you're super into nude lips, this might just be the perfect lip kit for you. The Lip Foundation is pretty much exactly what it sounds like -- a matte-finish lipstick in a spot-on shade of nude. It's non-drying and long-wearing, and looks absolutely gorgeous either worn by itself or topped with a coat of glossy Lip Cream, in a conveniently complementary shade of nude.
OCC is known for their out-of-this-world pigmentation, and you can really get the most high-impact lips humanly possible with their whimsically colored lip duo sets. Each lip kit comes armed with a bright lip liner paired with an equally bright Lip Tar for an eye-catching look that'll last all day long.
