The Best Blush and Lip Combos Ever, According to Makeup Artists

If you've ever been at a total loss for what lip combo to pair with your blush (or vice-versa), there's a good chance you've found yourself wishing you had a professional there to do it for you. And we get it—with all the options, makeup can feel overwhelming.

While we can't magically whisk a pro to your vanity, we did the next best thing and asked 10 professional makeup artists which blush and lip product pairings they gravitate toward. Read on for all the inspo you'll need.

Mimi Tran

For Mimi Tran, blush and lip color must stay in place. "I love the transfer-proof power of the Chanel Le Rouge Duo Ultra Tenue Ultra Wear Liquid Lip Color," she says. "My favorite year-round color is 'Soft Rose 48,' because it's a rosy pink that gives a natural pop no matter if I am sunkissed or at my fairest."

For some definition, Mimi prefers the Chanel Le Crayon Lèvres Longwear Lip Pencil in "164 Pivone" to line her lips. "My perfect cheek pair-up with that lip color is Nars Blush in the shade 'Dolce Vita,'" she adds.

Ashley Disarro

Ashley Disarro is a fan of wearing light, transparent makeup and layers a few products to get that just right naturally flushed look. "My go-to blush combo is Cheek Heat by Maybelline in the shade '25 Fuschia Spark,' topped off by Nars Cream Stick Blush in the shade 'Orgasm,'" she says. For her lips, she likes the MAC Lip Pencil in 'Spice' with Maybelline Baby Lips in "15 Cherry Me".

Jahara Jennae

"As a brown-skinned girlie, blush was something I didn't incorporate in my personal look for a while," says Jahara Jennae. "More recently, I've started playing with new products because it felt like everyone dropped a new blush line. After a few wears, I was completely sold on Patrick Ta's Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo in the shade 'She's Baked.' I instantly loved how it melted into my skin and felt very buildable."

"I love a natural lip to balance out my bold lashes, so liner and a subtle pop do it for me every time," she exclaims. "MAC Lipliner in 'Chestnut' is my makeup bag's tried and true staple. It emphasizes the natural coloring of my lips and gives the perfect balance to a soft lip combo. Tarte's Juicy Lip Plump in the shade 'Rose' is a no-brainer. Hydration, tint, and a buildable glossy finish set off my daily glam and balances my blush tones perfectly."

Nadia Tayeh

"My favorite blush and lip combo this summer is the Nudestix Nudies All-Over Cream Blush in the shade 'Bohemian Rose.' It gives me a beautiful luminous glow, which I also love dabbing on my lips," explains Nadia Tayeh. "I set it with Fenty Gloss Bomb in the shade 'Hot Cherry,' a beautiful sheer red, to give me that cherry-bitten lip. This combo makes me feel like I've been kissed by the sun."

Misha Shahzada

For a stunning natural look, Misha Shahzada prefers to wear the Chanel Beauty Lip and Cheek Balm in the shade "Vital Beige" on her cheeks, and for lips, Shiseido Lipliner Ink Duo in "Beige" and Westman Atelier's Squeaky Clean Liquid Lip Balm in the shade "Nana."

Jonet Williamson

Of her favorite combo, Jonet Williamson says, "If I had to pick just one cheek and lip combo to wear every single day, it would be this one. As someone with a warm olive undertone, I love the soft hint of peachiness. When I wear this combination, it makes my skin look sunkissed and almost lit from within."

The products in question? Half Magic's Cheek Fluff Soft Blur Cream Blush in the shade "Magic Brownie," Hourglass's Confession Ultra-Slim Lipstick in the shade "You Make Me," Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Heat Univeral Lip Luminizer + Plumper in "Fenty Glow," and Tower28 OneLiner Lip Liner in the shade "Draw Me."

Tiffany Tarazi

"I live for a monochromatic makeup look," says Tiffany Tarazi. "It's timeless and easy, which I'm all about. It's a win-win when you have a multi-use shade that's long-lasting, leaves a bit of a stain behind, makes your teeth look white AF, and is universally flattering." Tarazi's go-to product is the Nosta Beauty Swatch Me Face Palette. "I'm wearing shade 'Play' on the lips and cheeks—a cool-toned pinky plum that is a total slam dunk year round."

Shaina Ehrlich

Shaina Ehrlich is a "huge cream blush girly," but when she tried Dior Rosy Glow Powder Blush in the shade "Rosewood," she instantly fell in love. "It gives me such a natural glow from within and lasts much longer than cream blush."

For lips, she gravitates towards Makeup by Mario's Ultra Suede Sculpting Pencil in the shade "Toasty." "It's in my professional and personal makeup kit, it's that good," she says. "Usually, I press it onto my lips with my ring finger for a more natural, diffused look. If I want my lips to look fuller, I will completely line them with it; it depends on my mood that day."

Maria Gianno

Maria Gianno, who loves a pop of color, tells us her go-to blush is the "Rare Beauty Liquid Blush in 'Grateful' and 'Happy;' I like to mix both shades. For my lip combo, I use lip liner by Charlotte Tilbury in the shade 'Love Trap' and dab a little bit of Rare Beauty's liquid blush in the shade 'Grateful' to make the look monochromatic." She tops off the look with a plumping lip gloss, Lawless Beauty's Forget the Filler in "Juicy Watermelon."

Ashley Rebecca

An orange-red lip is my favorite shade because it instantly brightens my complexion and makes my eye color pop. I love to wear natural-looking makeup daily, so adding Tom Ford Beauty's lipstick in "Wild Ginger" elevates my look. For blush, I am never without a cream formula, as I want my skin to look as hydrated and dewy as possible. The product I've been reaching for consistently is Westman Atelier's Baby Cheeks Blush Stick in the shade "Minette."
