While reflecting on your favourite 90s TV shows including Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, and it-girl socialite, Sarah Jessica Parker, there was one thing that they all had in common… their ability to rock a brown lip look! This was a beauty trend that we predominantly saw throughout the 90s, but it wasn't until Kylie Jenner introduced her brown lip shade in the launch of her lip kits in 2015 that we saw the trend do a full circle. Today, the beauty trend is back in full swing with the brown lip becoming a common beauty staple amongst influencers and celebrities across the world!

Despite what shade of brown you go with, you’re sure to achieve a bold look that will have all heads turning… in the best way possible!

For darker skin tones, we suggest checking out the DB Cosmetics Bold Longwear Lipstick in Honeysuckle allowing you to achieve a contrast between colour tones. For light-medium skin tones, we recommend opting for a darker shade of brown with red undertones where possible, such as the DB Cosmetics Bold Longwear Lipstick in Nude Coco to ensure that you aren't washed out.
