Take inspiration from these celebrities carrying on the long history of brown lip liner.

As of late, brown <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/how-to-get-winged-lip-liner-look-tiktok-trend" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lip</a> liner has been all the rage on social media. The trend is not new by any means. In fact, the brown lip liner and nude/glossy lip look became popularized decades ago thanks to <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/donyale-luna-first-black-supermodel-documentary-fashion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Black</a> and Brown communities. Since as early as the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/return-of-the-roaring-20s-for-fashion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1920</a>s, people of color have used brown lip liner to highlight their features and, for decades, received backlash. It wasn't until the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/90s-beauty-trends-comeback-clawclip-eyeshadow-lipliner" target="_blank" rel="noopener">90s</a>, when White celebrities adopted the look, that it entered the mainstream. But the real pioneers of this trend in the '90s, like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/naomi-campbell-most-iconic-90s-catwalk-moments" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Naomi Campbell</a>, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/janet-jackson-s-most-iconic-stage-style-looks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Janet Jackson</a>, and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/lauryn-hill-90s-style" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lauryn Hill</a>, set the stage for this new resurgence.
Recently, the trend has been re-popularized by <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/hailey-bieber-carmen-electra-halloween-costume-2023" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hailey Bieber</a> in what was coined <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/brownie-glazed-lips-beauty-trend-hailey-bieber-90s-y2k" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"brownie glazed lips."</a> Her take on the longstanding cultural phenomenon accentuates the outline of the lips and blends seamlessly into a nude or glossy center. This trend leaves room for tons of experimentation. Your lines can be as exaggerated as you so desire, some layering on the pigment and others opting for a more subtle outline. You can also pair the distinct outline with different lipstick shades for a completely unique look. The options are endless.&nbsp;
