90s ladies, we can never forget the makeup looks that we used to see on TV and we should all be thankful for that – yes, thankful! Well, do you remember the dark lipliner that models and celebrities used to pair with lighter lipstick? That’s it, that’s the trend that was brought back to life from our times and it seems to be a gift that keeps on giving.

Called the 90s supermodel lips, this trend has undergone a modern makeover to become, once again, a favorite for celebrities and ladies alike. A classic in every sense of the word, it consists of a dark lip liner and a lighter shade of lipstick. How to master it? We won’t keep you waiting for long before you discover, so let’s get to it!

The key to pulling off this lip trend is to begin by choosing a lipstick or a lip gloss that truly matches your lips’ natural color. Then, move to choosing a lipliner that’s a few shades darker. The whole point is accentuating that beauty pout you have, which drives us to advise you not to overline your lips. Now that you have chosen your two main players, here comes the application process. Start off by lining your lips, then blending the liner in order to make it look seamless. If your choice falls on a clear lip gloss, go ahead and apply it all over your lips. However, if you chose a lipstick that’s of a shade that matches your lips, apply it to the center of the lips then blend again for the most seamless look.

Packing a stronger statement using this trend is also possible – think a red lipstick paired with a few darker shades of lipliner, or a burgundy one paired with a black lipliner. The darker, the bolder but here’s the thing: everyone’s a winner!
