The Best Lip and Cheek + Eyeshadow Duo Combinations
Hey, beauty lovers! Keira here, and today, we’re diving into a highly requested topic: the best lip & cheek and eyeshadow duo pairings. If you're like me, you know that finding the perfect combination of shades can be tricky, so I’ve pulled together some of my favorite combos that not only complement each other but will elevate your makeup game in no time.
Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned makeup pro, this guide will help you figure out which shades work best together, so you can feel confident in your choices.
Let’s get started!
1. Elderberry Escapade & Crush
Let’s kick things off with a deep, moody combo. Elderberry Escapade (a beautiful plum purple) paired with Crush Eyeshadow Duo is such a gorgeous match. The plum undertones in both products create a harmonious, sultry look that’s perfect if you want something a little darker, but not too intense.
These shades blend beautifully, with Elderberry Escapade bringing a rich depth to your lips and cheeks, while Crush adds that perfect pop of soft purple shimmer to your eyes. This combo is perfect for a night out or when you’re feeling a little bold.
2. Auburn Adventure & Dune
Next up, we’ve got Auburn Adventure and Dune, which together create a warm, earthy vibe. Auburn Adventure is a warm brown shade that looks stunning on all skin tones, and it works great as a lip liner or blended with lighter shades for some dimension. Paired with Dune, a versatile, neutral duo, this combination brings a beautiful contrast—dark and moody yet grounded and wearable.
Whether you’re going for a full-on sultry look or want something a little more understated, this pairing is a must-try.
3. Bordeaux On the Go & Flight
If you’re into berry tones, you’re going to love this next pairing! Bordeaux On the Go, which is a rich berry shade, looks absolutely stunning with the Flight Eyeshadow Duo. Bordeaux On the Go gives your lips and cheeks a flush of warm, red-toned color, while the Flight offers a burgundy shimmer that pairs beautifully with the boldness of the lip and cheek shade.
I recently used this duo in a medium contrast makeup tutorial, and I have to say—it's a gorgeous berry combo that screams winter vibes and sophistication. It’s definitely a statement look that’s perfect for any special occasion.
4. Guava Getaway & Staycation
Looking for something a little warmer and richer? Guava Getaway paired with Staycation is a fantastic combo! Guava Getaway is a deeper berry with a brown undertone, offering a more muted, earthy vibe compared to Bordeaux On the Go. Paired with Staycation, a neutral duo, it gives you the flexibility to add depth or highlight certain areas of your eyes, without overpowering your lips and cheeks. This duo is versatile, easy to wear, and perfect for everyday looks.
5. Runway to Rose & Layover
For something a bit lighter and more neutral, try pairing Runway to Rose with Layover Eyeshadow Duo. Runway to Rose is a soft, neutral rosy pink that’s perfect for a more natural, everyday look. When paired with Layover, which adds just a touch of purple tones, the result is a beautiful, fresh-faced look that’s subtle yet chic.
This duo is perfect if you're into soft, romantic vibes or if you're looking for something a little more understated but still glamorous.
6. Mauve in the Maldives & Bon Voyage
And finally, if you're into light, soft pinks, you'll love Mauve in the Maldives and Bon Voyage. Mauve in the Maldives is a delicate, fresh pink that gives your cheeks and lips a light flush of color, making it perfect for a natural, glowing look. When paired with Bon Voyage, you get a neutral eyeshadow duo that enhances your eye color (especially if you have blue eyes like me!). I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again—Bon Voyage is a game-changer for blue eyes, and it’s such a versatile shade that pairs perfectly with almost anything.

Each of these combinations is designed to complement your natural features while giving you that perfect balance of boldness and softness.
