How To Pull Off '90s Brown Lips Like Kylie Jenner

'90s beauty is making a comeback, and the hallmark of looking like a cool '90s girl is embracing brown lipstick.

 

#1 Draw the line

The '90s lips are impeccably defined, do use a lip liner (which should match the shade of your lipstick) to outline your lips. It's okay to go pass the natural outline of your lips for the illusion of fuller lips, but draw the line (pun intended) between plump and theatrical.

#2 This is matte-ness

'90s lips lean towards the matte finish instead of glossy, high-shine lips. There are products out there (like the Cargo Matte Top Coat) which allows you to transform any of your lipsticks into a velvety matte finish. Some of them tend to be quite drying, so don't forget your lip balm.

#3 Choose your brown

We hate to break it to you, but not everyone can pull off this trend, especially if you have thin lips or darkened gums. For the rest who don't know where to start, we recommend going with a brown tone that corresponds to your skin tone (eg, warm brown for warm skin tones, and cool browns for cool skin tones). Try experimenting with lighter browns, before advancing to darker, vampy shades. Like finding a signature red lipstick, adopt the same patience when hunting for the right brown.
