The recent discovery of a few brown lip liners that work for me has been a game changer. I had been trying dark pink lip liners on my dark brown lips, wondering why they weren’t making much of a difference, until a makeup artist at MAC showed me how incredible a nude lipstick would look with the right shade of lip liner.
For a natural look, I have several go-to lip liners, such as MAC Lip Pencils in Cork and Chestnut. If you’re wearing lipstick that has some warmth to it, look for a liner with a hint of red in the undertone, such as Lisa Eldridge Enhance and Define Lip Pencil in Decade. If the lipstick is cool-toned, you might want a more neutral or cool lip liner, such as MakeUp by Mario Sculpting Lip Pencil in Dark Chocolate, which has a handy lip brush on the end to blend with.
