Dupes for Every Single Kylie Lip Kit Shade

We’ve been talking about Kylie Jenner‘s Lip Kits since November 2015, when the first three shades, Dolce K, True Brown K and Candy K (as if you needed that refresher) came out. Let that sink in. It’s insane if you really think about it, because contrary to what many seem to believe, she is not the first to create these colours. Like, not at all. Not even close.

As she told Paper Magazine in her cover story, she started her Lip Kits because of everyone’s obsession with the lip colour she’d been wearing before their release—“Spice” by M.A.C. Not a custom colour blend that she made in her bathroom. Just one of the most popular lip colours of the ’90s, actually.

“I didn’t see one other girl wearing nude lipstick — I didn’t even care about the lipstick, I just wanted my lips to be bigger — and then I started seeing a bunch of girls wearing nude lipstick,” she told Paper. “I was going to MAC and Sephora and I’d try to buy my lipstick and the girls working there would be like, “Kylie, everyone comes in asking what color you use. Everything’s sold out — I’m sorry!” They were like, “These people should be paying you! Everyone comes in and asks for your color.” And then the Kylie Jenner makeup tutorials started coming and it became a big thing. I feel like that’s when I really realized.”

Just to clarify, this is not meant to throw shade at Kylie. In fact, I seriously respect the Kardashian-Jenners and what they’ve built—particularly Kim and Kylie. And for those of you who just rolled your eyes because you think they “have no job or talent,” a quick reminder that marketing is a talent (and uh, a career), and no one markets themselves better than these guys.

So yes, I do certainly believe that Kylie Jenner is the reason we’re seeing so many girls wearing brown and nude lipstick shades, and why so many brands are releasing massive selections of matte liquid lipsticks in those colours. For what it’s worth, I also believe that Kim Kardashian is the reason you’re wearing nude pencil skirts with matching crop tops. However, I think it’s wrong to credit Kylie with creating these shades.

To give credit where credit’s due, and because Kylie’s Lip Kits sell out so fast so you may not get your hands on one, like, ever, we’ve rounded up the best dupes for every colour below.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
