Jennifer Lopez once again proved that every public appearance she makes sets trends. This time it was at the Celia Kritharioti show during Paris Haute Couture Week, where she dazzled with sophisticated makeup that revives one of the most iconic beauty looks of the 1990s: lips outlined in brown with gloss at the center.
The result is a fresh, sultry finish with a voluminous effect, a trend that has already started to appear on runways and that promises to become one of the favorites for the upcoming season.
The Return of Brown Eyeliner with Gloss, the 90s Lip Trend
If there was a beauty look that defined the 1990s, it was the lips outlined with a brown shade darker than the lipstick and finished with a lot of gloss. Jennifer Lopez revived that aesthetic, but with a version that is much more refined and contemporary.
Instead of a marked contrast, the artist opted for a soft brown eyeliner, perfectly diffused toward the inner part of the lips, and paired it with a nude gloss with a mirror-like finish. The result is natural, elegant and makes the lips look fuller without having to resort to invasive techniques.
Moreover, the gloss adds a juicy appearance that is once again at the forefront of international beauty trends.
How to Recreate Jennifer Lopez’s Beauty Look
The key lies in treating the lips with just a few well-chosen products.
- Outline the entire lip contour with a brown pencil one or two shades darker than your natural lip color.
- Softly blend the edge toward the center to avoid a too-strong effect.
- Apply a nude, beige or caramel lipstick.
- Finish with a transparent or slightly pink gloss to add shine and a perception of greater volume.
It’s a simple technique that flatters practically all skin tones and works for both daytime and evening makeup.
A Luminous Makeup Look That Complemented the Lips’ Spotlight
Although the lips were the stars of the show, the rest of the makeup also followed a sophisticated and very contemporary line. Jennifer Lopez showcased luminous skin with a glow finish, softly bronzed cheeks, and lavender-toned shadows with satin highlights that added light to the gaze without competing with the lips.
She completed the beauty look with long lashes, perfectly defined brows, and her signature XL mane with layers and caramel highlights, a combination that reinforces why she remains one of the major beauty icons.
