- TikTok has launched a brand new technique to search out the proper lip shade.
- The hack contains utilizing a forehead pencil, blush, and lip gloss instead of conventional lip colours.
- One editor examined the hack and located her good ’90s pink lip shade.
As I used to be passing time on TikTok not too long ago, I seen that fairly a number of of the movies on my For You web page have been all of individuals experimenting with new lip-color combinations. In every video, customers would file as they adopted a girl named Mackenzie Burn’s tried-and-true tricks to get a lip shade that she says will probably be their private good lip shade. As somebody who has a powerful (or irresponsible, relying on who you ask,) quantity of lip products that I commonly mess around with, I didn’t count on to listen to something out of the strange after I first got here throughout this audio. Nevertheless, Burn’s ideas took me unexpectedly.

In her video, Burn means that customers change issues up and use an eyebrow pencil as their lip liner, blush as their lip shade, and their favourite gloss to complete the look. Although I’ve performed round with totally different formulation of lip colours through the years, I’ve by no means used an eyebrow pencil to line my lips earlier than, and I definitely by no means thought to attempt it together with a blush. Nevertheless, with movies of individuals making an attempt out the hack constantly leaving me in awe of how good their lips appeared, I made a decision to attempt it for myself.
I began with the Benefit Cosmetics Precisely My Brow Pencil ($24) within the shade 4.5 as my lip liner. The tip of the pencil was extraordinarily high quality, so it took a short time longer to get as thick of a line as I used to be used to, however I did like the way it appeared as soon as totally utilized.
Then, I utilized the pink shade within the Danessa Myricks “Dew It Undercover” Lip and Cheek Palette ($32) to the center of my lips. The mix created a barely ashy pink shade that left me a bit of nervous.
Nevertheless, as soon as I added the gloss, which was my favourite Ami Colé Lip Treatment Oil ($20), I used to be offered. The mix of the three shades gave me a stunning ’90s cool-toned pink lip that I’ve completely been loving these days and have been making an attempt to emulate after seeing celebrities like SZA make it part of their signature seems.
In all, it is a very stable hack and it makes use of merchandise that almost all of us already personal. I’ll say that the lip combos I’ve seen do appear to lean a bit extra towards the darkish and vampy shades that have been widespread within the ’90s (which might make sense, seeing as how Gen Z is all about bringing ’90s magnificence again to the forefront), so in case you your want a extra pink tone or “true” impartial nude, this hack most likely would not be just right for you. I, nevertheless, will probably be fortunately sporting my newly found SZA-esque nude till additional discover, and also will be making a visit to Sephora to top off on extra forehead pencils. I will be going by means of them a lot faster now.
