Mented was born on the premise that every woman should be able to find their perfect nude lipstick and with the hope that she would not need anything other than her perfect nude lipstick. After great demand for lip liners, we had to give the girls what they were asking for. We get a lot of questions about how to choose a liner for our lipsticks, so we hope this guide helps you out.

Brown Neutral Liners

When searching for the perfect lip liner we believe a neutral brown lip liner that is a shade or two deeper than your skin tone is key. This is the liner you will want to hold close, you can wear it with almost any shade of lipstick or lip gloss.

Pairs We Love

We've seen that you guys like to mix and match liners and lipsticks. Here are some of the pairs we love.

If you want to try mixing and matching shop our lipsticks and liners. If you want to keep it simple, all of our nude/neutral lipsticks have a shade matched liner. Try our Matte Duos or Semi Matte Duos.

Tis the season to wear red, eat chocolate, and be loved. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! I’m not entirely sure of the origins of the holiday, but during winter a little indulgence and decadence about love is exactly what we all need. We don’t take that lightly at the Mented Office. We love to celebrate life and the love therein. We believe in the beauty of women everywhere and all the stories they have to tell. So, this Valentine’s Day our theme was ‘Love Your Set, Rep Your Hood’. What does that mean, you ask? We’re all from somewhere and we’re all somewhere now. We are the totality of our experiences and to truly love someone is to know them.

In the office we asked everyone to write a few things about themselves on our hearts wall. First write your hometown zip code and your current zip code. Secondly write your favorite food from your hometown and from your current city. And last, but not least write the song that epitomizes your hometown and current experiences. The answers varied. We have the song Juicy representing the 11226, Donato’s Pizza from Columbus, Ohio, and John Mayer’s Waiting On the World to Change from CT. We are a mixture of the old and new. The suburban and urban. We have mass and luxury sensibilities. We are a mashup of all that is, and we wanted to celebrate that.

  

Our set and our hood are the people and places that made us. We will not forget where we come from and we will not take for granted where we are now. The team at Mented is grateful for this experience and grateful that we have each other. We hope this season you love your set and rep your hood wherever you are.
