The lip liner is slightly darker than the lipstick, making it perfect for overlining or smudging. With shades like Taylor Swift’s ERAs red and Elson, there’s something for everyone, including great nude duos.
Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Lipstick
To celebrate Margot Robbie’s appointment as a Chanel face for makeup and No5, the brand has launched a capsule collection of eight wearable lipsticks. Each comes with a matching lip liner to create the perfect lip look. The shades range from nudes for every skin tone to a couple of perfect reds. The lip liners have a color end and a smudger sponge to blend out the pencil for a more natural look.
Hourglass Cosmetics Veil Hydrating Skin Tint
Grammy winner Olivia Dean follows in the footsteps of Gracie Abrams as the face of Hourglass Cosmetics. The brand known for its glow-getting beauty has created the Olivia Dean Edit, featuring the Veil Hydrating Skin Tint, Vanish Airbrush Concealer, and the new Unreal Liquid Highlighter.

These bronzing tint drops can be applied directly to the high points of the face and blended in for a sun-kissed look.
MAC Multi Sculpt Liquid Eye and Face Contour
MAC has launched a 14-shade contour range that works for all skin tones.
