Lip Color

Does anyone else think Courtney should match her lip color to her liner? She is so gorgeous but it's a bit distracting to see the start difference.

The dark and obvious lip liner is the trend right now. CK seems to be right on point.

Like her as well and also think that she is beautiful. Personally, I'm not a follower of trends so not a fan of the liner. Reminds me of "Little Richard".

Seems as though the lip with the dark outliine was in at one time, became passe. I guessing it's back again but it still looks old fashioned, reminding me of Lisa Robertson

That ship sailed. She changed her face. She loves her make up - evidently. She is her own girl, with her own style. The best thing about CK is her calm host style. She’s pretty darn great at her job, I mean I think she is. My favorite hosts- Jayne and CK. And lately I really enjoy CK on the food shows.

I don't care for this trend. I remember it the first time around.

OMG that is so funny but true. I also feel it is outdated.

Lip liner is the worst trend in the beauty business. Most women & men do not know how to blend the liner. Even make-up artist have trouble blending lip liners.

The trend now is to apply dark lip liner with a neutral lip color and have the liner on with very little blending. Outlining around the lips with a dark liner is what's in. It was popular that way in the 1990's.

Thanks! I always thought he and his upper lip were funny! Still loved him! ; )

In the 80's and 90's I was in the "cosmetic" business. I wore lip liner and yes I had a shade of lipstick that I wore daily and my liner was slightly darker but never a hard contrast. I have small lips and at that time, it's what I felt looked the best on me. I did not wear it for "trend" reasons.

I also have a "tail" on my eyebrows and I did not like the advice that the rep from Laura Mercier gave Courtney "on air" to "lose the tail and to go outward with the brow". Personally, I do not want my eyebrows to look like "bird wings".

In the end it's really about "personal preference". It's about what makes you feel good about yourself and it does not matter what others think.

I love the lip liner but not so dark compared to the lip color.

I use a lip pencil slightly darker to my lipstick but like I said not too off the hook.

@SKT I think liner should be neutral to match your natural lip color. Then when lipstick or gloss wears off, there's not a clown like dark line left around the lips.

It was the "thing" a few decades ago and popular with Naomi Campbell and other models, but when makeup became more mnimal, I think that's when the dark liner looked strange.

@SKT

I think Courtney should wear her lips the way she wants to.

Don't care how her lips look, I care about the description and info on the item presented.

If her lips were a bit 'distracting', maybe we are not really interested in the product.

her liner is very old fashion to me and way too dark--it is very distracting--IMO.

I thought dark lip liner was big in the 1990's. I don't like the look, too harsh. It's definitely not natural looking.

@Kachina624 Yes! That's exactly who I was thinking of. I didn't like the look then, and I don't like the look now. It's very unnatural looking.
