Brown lip liner on top of clear lip gloss.?

I was watching the Tyra Banks show the other day and she said that no one is supposed to know that you are wearing lip liner. I am a black girl who wears brown lip liner on top of clear lip gloss. I don't really like to wear alot of make-up, so I try to keep it really simple. Is this a make-up ';no-no';? Do any of you do this? Have you seen anyone else do this?Brown lip liner on top of clear lip gloss.?
Hey Allie!


Well good on you for experimenting with Lip-Liner. This look does sound pretty cool, because it could work with your skin tone, but I think you could improve it by wearing a brown coloured lip gloss over the top instead of clear.





Furthermore, another tip is to line your lips before you put anything over them. One idea is to line them in a colour the same as your lips, cover in lipstick and then clear gloss!


Hope this helps, you'll look great!!Brown lip liner on top of clear lip gloss.?

No it sounds fine to me but it may look more natural if you line your lips before you apply the clear gloss or a nude lip gloss always looks natural
mainly latinas, but i dont like that look its so old fashioned dont try it, u should just wear gloss alone or use the colorful glosses with mocca colors those look nice for ur skin type
um you dont really need it and shinny lip gloss looks like you have been eating chicknwings it looks greasy if you put alought on just use a lilttle ok real talk
I used to do this like 10 years ago when I was a freshman in high school. I look back at pictures and think... what was I doing? I should have listened to my mom when she told me it looked horrible. However, its a preference thing. If you like it.... and its your style, who is to tell you that its a no-no? I dont see anyone do this anymore, and I am sure that if you try new things out you will find something that is not so defined, yet still looks really good with your skin. If you like brown eyeliner, try a lipstick with a brown tone in it. If you like the clear look, try a nude liner. I think that would be your best bet! Good luck! Try new things out and see what you get the most compliments with!
This is a huge no-no. The last time I saw that was in the 90's. All you have to do is find a natural lip gloss. Try going to Sephora they have tons to choose from. Victoria's Secret also has some very pretty colors.





Hope this helps.
If you smudge and blend the line and then put some gloss on it, it's more subtle and flattering then a harsh, dark line with gloss on it. Or just filling in the entire lip first and then putting some gloss over it.





I remember seeing the dark liner and gloss look a lot in the 90s, but most of the time it was really, really dark purple or even blackish looking.
