What seems like the perfect palette can often be foiled by one feature: the "wild-card shade." You know what we mean! It's that one out-of-place color that doesn't vibe with the rest of the colors, and it seemingly appears in all palette types. However, influencer Iris Beilin [1] has teamed up with affordable fan favorite E.L.F. to manufacture a lip compact that features six shades you'll actually wear — even the purple.

The limited-edition Mis Amores compact, which contains pigmented, creamy formulas made with conditioning grapeseed and coconut oil, primarily contains tones in varying neutrals and reds. (Iris wanted options for all kinds of moods.) But while the unexpected orchid hue might appear to be the "wild-card shade" to the untrained eye, it's actually an indispensable blending option.

You see, the compact comes with a brush so you can mix up an unlimited number of bespoke lip colors. Use the purple shade to add blue undertones to any of the other shades or to deepen or brighten them. Or, of course — if you're into bright lips! — just wear it straight. The possibilities are endless, making this palette a must buy.

Buy the Mis Amores Lip Palette ($10) starting Jan. 24 in E.L.F. stores and on elfcosmetics.com [2], or head to the brand's site to buy the cute pouch and palette set for $16.
