If you’re new to the nude, lined lips look, these products are basically a starter kit.įor this look, I start by lining my lips with the NYX lip pencil in the shade coco (or whichever brown or nude shade is slightly darker than the natural outline of your lips). The Butter Glosses have become famous for their buttery smooth application, lasting pigment, and knockout price point. The OG lip liner and gloss combo that started it all for me is from none other than cult-favorite brand NYX. However, we may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article. We only include products that have been independently selected by The Zoe Report's editorial team. From staples like NYX Butter Gloss to recent launches from Make Up For Ever and iconic must-haves from Fenty Beauty, here are the beauty editor-approved lip liner and gloss combos you need in your makeup arsenal. Since then I’ve been on a mission to find as many variations for this winning lip liner and gloss combination and I’ve come up with eight pairings that never fail me.
I’m usually a NYX butter gloss girl (a Black girl staple), but layering that sheer rusty pink over my regular NYX Praline and between my Morphe lip liner resulted in a pout so perfect I knew I had found my combo. One fateful day, while getting ready to see the Christmas lights in Manhattan, I uncharacteristically reached for a new shade of pink from Flesh Beauty gloss.
As for lip glosses, I couldn’t seem to find ones that stayed on my lips for my daytime adventures and nighttime outings, all while being the right shade - not too pink or ashy, not too dark, and not too sheer. I tried countless lip liners, everything from $1 beauty supply store staples to high-end lip markers that promised long-lasting pigment.
The pronounced lip liner and almost-wet gloss look is definitive of trendy Black girl makeup so I knew that picking the best lip liner and gloss combo would be the anchor of my go-to beauty look. I admired the bold and bright trademarks of stars like Lupita Nyong’o and Tracee Ellis Ross, but gravitated toward the neutral soft glam aesthetic perfected by beauty gurus like Jackie Aina and Rihanna. While going through the growing pains of nailing down my signature beauty look, I experimented with quite a few lip products. Big lips are a common genetic staple among Black people, so naturally, I felt cheated. At first, I despised the natural brow outline of my pout (that I would eventually grow to love), then a bit later in my adolescence I became envious of women with big doll-like lips, despising my own for not being voluptuous enough. I’ve always had a love hate relationship with my lips that leaned a bit more toward the hate side.
