Nostalgia in makeup is gaining momentum, and today, lip contouring takes the lead. For vintage makeup enthusiasts, this trend is a true find. The secret to the perfect lip combo is simpler than ever: a dark lip liner paired with a lipstick a few shades lighter, and your makeup shines with new colors. The main promoters of lips from the golden era are models of that time: Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Cindy Crawford.

Fashion always finds a way to repeat itself, and now Kylie Jenner is bringing this sultry lip combo to a new generation. Her brand, Kylie Cosmetics, is packed with perfectly paired lip kits – liner and lipstick combos designed to deliver her signature "statement lips."

 

Another buzzworthy novelty is the Lip Cheat Contour Duo combined with Big Lip Plumgasm from Charlotte Tilbury, with Spanish beauty icon Georgina Rodriguez as its ambassador. A combo suitable for everyone.

MAC, keeping up with the trend, launched an entire advertising campaign in the spirit of the '90s, featuring famous actress Lisa Rinna and her daughter Amelia Gray. The new products truly capture the lip coloring fashion of those years. The secret formula: MAC Lipgloss Air + Silky Matte Lipstick Kinda Sexy + Cool Spice Pencil.

The secret to the perfect lip combo lies in the right combination of textures and shades. The main principle: dark contour + light "filling." This contrast visually enlarges the lips, making them appear more sensual. For maximum effect, apply lipstick with a brush, blending the boundary between it and the liner, and add a drop of gloss or highlighter to the center of the lips.

As the beauty industry falls in love with the '90s aesthetic once again, it's worth trying this trend yourself. It suits both daytime and evening makeup perfectly. The key is to choose the optimal shade and not be afraid to be expressive!
