The Return of the ‘90s Pout

The ‘90s are back in our makeup bags and we’re ready to pout. Thankfully, we’re still keeping skinny brows at bay, but contrasting lip liner? We can do.

If you’re a nineties lip newbie, make things easier for yourself by sticking to lipstick shade that’s similar to your natural colour. Why?

Now, the step you’ve all been waiting for … liner. Apply it after your lipstick to make your pout extra plump. Choose a liner that is at least two shades darker than your chosen lipstick. For a rounded look, draw over your cupid's bow and for more of a doll pout make the sides of your lips more intense.
