Why You Should Use A Brown Liner Under Your Lip Color 

If this sounds like a familiar dilemma, TikTok may have a solution for you. A recent hack has hit the ground running, claiming to make any lip color look a bit better if you're not loving it already.

There are tons of brown lip liners out there, but you'll want to find a creamy formula that's hydrating and easy to blend. This way, you'll avoid the liner-only look we mentioned earlier (unless that's what you're going for, then please, carry on!). 

The Kosas Hotliner in the shade "Supreme" is an A+ pick for this look. The formula is packed with hyaluronic acid and jojoba oil, making it ultra-hydrating and oh-so-easy to blend. After you line your lips, simply glide on whatever color you're working with and follow up with a gloss or lip balm to lock in the moisture for a lasting look. And voilà! Now you can level up any lip colors you have lying around in seconds. 

You may often switch out your lip color in an effort to try something new, but not every color hits home right away. This hack will help you define your lips and add a bit more spark to what may have previously come off as a dull shade. Now if you're trying to get a smooth, plump canvas for this look, you'll want to keep an effective lip balm on hand, too—here are some of our top picks.
