How to achieve the perfect lip combo

Making its way back into the make-up hall of fame is the stunning lip combo that is polished with a very glossy and shiny look. We first saw this trend in the late 90s and early 2000s and since then, many have done their own rendition of this combo.

Make-up artists state that the origins of this nostalgic look can be achieved through the perfect combo of a lip liner and a gloss.

To keep up with this trend make up brands have made sure to deliver products that hydrate, have lasting power and produce a great colour.

According to Huda Beauty – a beauty brand founded and owned by beauty blogger Huda Kattan, what makes this look quite easy, and fun is that it accommodates for individuals to add a bit of je ne sais quo to the traditional “nude lips brimmed with dark-brown liner,” which is the most prominent 90s nostalgia look.

The comeback of this trend has made make up brands not only improve on the quality of their lipsticks and liners, but also significantly enhance the range and versatility of their nude shades. Huda Beauty states that nude lipsticks now have a ”new creamy, lightweight, and super long-lasting formula.”

Get with the times and watch as verified digital content creator and make-up artist Kamille shows us how to achieve the perfect lip combo. The easy-to-follow tutorial is effective and has a great finish.

According to Kam these are the steps to follow:

  • Begin to line the outline of your lips with a warm brown lip liner.
  • Repeat the process with another lip liner that is a deeper brown shade.
  • Make sure to blend the two to get the results.
  • To begin achieving that contrast look, get a nude liquid lipstick or a lipstick.
  • Polishing off your combo, take either a nude or clear lip gloss
