Visible lip liner Lip liner is also making a comeback. But, as Michaud points out, unlike the '90s when it was all about seeing the actual line, the look right now is about building volume and contouring the lip to look more voluptuous. "To make the look your own, start by dabbing a bit of lip balm on the lip, like Sara Happ Lip Slip, $24," she says. "Apply a lip primer to fill in any fine lines or imperfections onto the entire lip, especially along the vermillion border, and then gently glide a darker nude lip liner, like Nars Audacious Lipstick in Barbara, $34, along the outside edges of the lips." Be careful not to press too hard, as she warns that this can make the look appear too "lined." Cover the top and bottom lips before blending with a lip brush to soften the edges and blend the color inward. Add a lighter nude lipstick, like Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick in Meringue, $26, on the pillowy center of the lips and you're good to go.
