Coloring your lips with two different tones is not new. It was a lip trend in the '90s to have a darker outline and lighter stain for the center of your kissers. Megan Thee Stallion, Kylie Jenner, and Zendaya love a dark liner — sporting it at fashion shoots and on the red carpet. While the look decades ago typically had a stark contrast, makeup lovers nowadays blend the liner to create a smooth transition — like an ombré lip.
A contrasting liner to your primary lip color is an easy way to dip your toes into the double-hue look. Nudes, pinks, reds, and browns are soft tones that create a chic pout with the two-toned lip shade style. Celebrity makeup artist Robert Sesnek told Popsugar, "I love using a deeper lip liner and warmer shade of golden brown gloss to make this look more modern and wearable." You can also brighten things up with an orange tone. It still has an earthy neutral feel but will pop.
While this dark liner and light lip are excellent for a minimal makeup look, this colorful lip trend easily lends itself to more glamorous designs.
