How to Look Fresh as Hell in Brown LipstickThis is one of the '90s trends we're actually excited is making a comeback. Here's how to wear brown lipstick without looking like a corpse |
Brown lipstick -- yes, the kind you wore in the '90s -- is back, and looking better than ever. Need proof? Just scroll through the Instagram feeds of "It" girls like Kylie Jenner, Gigi Hadid and Joan Smalls, who have all snapped themselves wearing the throwback hue.
Because brown lipstick is bolder than a basic nude lip but less aggressive than a vampy oxblood lip, it's actually incredibly versatile. It can act as the perfect complement to a smoky or cat eye, yet still make a statement when worn with minimal makeup.
The trick to pulling off the brown lip trend, says M.A.C. Senior Artist John Stapleton, is choosing lipsticks with warm undertones. Orange- and red-based browns, he says, work well on all skin tones.
Here, 13 celebrities who nailed the brown lipstick look, and the lipsticks you need to copy them.
