#MLBB

Em-El-Be-Be 

The first time I heard the name, I was extremely confused. What is MLBB? I kept asking myself. What is it? What does it stand for? Is it some sort of codeword? I was actually going to ask someone about it and then my brain convinced me, I studied advanced mathematics, I can decipher and decrypt this. 

Pfffft. 

I was just kidding. I asked Google. 

My Lips But Better 

Thanks, Google. You're the best. 

To be very honest, I do not know where and how the #MLBB trend started. All the it-girls wear it. The infamous girls from Instagram wear it. The trend trickled down and gets copied copiously. Before I knew it, almost everyone around me was obsessed with it. 

Of course, I had to get on this board. I needed to experience this trend so I hopped on. Little did I know that it's one heck of a difficult colour to nail down to feel better. 

Like almost every colour on earth, this is not a 'one-size fits all' phenomenon. What looks great on your best friend will most likely not look as great as that on you and vice versa. Some people suit the taupe colour. Some people looks great in the dusty dark pink colour. Some look really stunning with muted burnt orange colour. There is one for everyone. You just need to keep looking for the one - just like how dating articles will tell you. 

My favourite #MLBB colour of the moment is BBIA's Last Lipstick in #4, as you can see on the selfie I shamelessly put on this post. I also realised that my skintone cannot handle the beige undertone like some. I need coral or red as an undertone so that I do not look completely washed out.

That makes me wonder about this MLBB trend. If people seek the perfect #MLBB colour high and low for them, isn't it essentially your lip colour? It's a contradictory topic, isn't it? We like our natural lip colours but we also want to look made up at the same time. It's like the 'no makeup makeup' trend. Humans are truly fascinating. 

Anyway! 

What's your favourite #MLBB shade? Do let me know! 

Love love love,
