9 Best Lip Combos Spotted on Celebs, From Kylie Jenner to Hailey Bieber
Aeon
Like peanut butter and jelly, some lip liners, glosses, balms, and lipsticks feel like they were made to go together. Finding the best lip combos, however, isn't always that simple. It's a process of searching for the right shades, proportions, and blending that works together and makes you feel your best.
There are many ways to find a good pairing — whether that's trial and error, looking for shades based on your undertones, or simply letting someone else do the work for you. Many celebs and their professional makeup artists have already found some of the best lip combos out there. While you can reference stars who have similar skin tones and facial features as you, some shades just feel like they're universally flattering. (MAC Cork, we're looking at you!)
Below, we've gathered some of the best lip combos and colors spotted on celebs. Let this be your cheat sheet for finding your new go-to lip combo.
Known for her lip kits, it's no shock that Kylie Jenner is well-versed in the art of the lip combo. One of her most unforgettable concoctions has to be her shower lip combo. What better time to experiment with makeup than before a shower? The beauty brand founder shared that she used her own lip liner in the shade 'Comes Naturally' and topped it off with a glossy balm.

With her own Rhode lip peptide glosses and now lip shapers, Hailey Bieber has plenty of lip combo options. But one of her lip combos as of late involves a blush instead. She told Vogue that she's been using the Rhode pocket blush in the shade piggy over a smudged layer of the lip shaper in the shade twiggy.

The live-action remake of The Little Mermaid made mermaidcore a trend in the summer of 2023, and of course, it expanded to makeup. In the film, Halle Bailey wore a stunning yet subtle warm-toned pink blended into a deep, rich brown. Lucky for us, makeup artist Kat Ali revealed every single product she used on Bailey, including the stunning lip combo we were all itching to know while watching. As it turned out, the liner was the fan-favorite shade 'Cork' from MAC, and the lipstick was the celeb-favorite Chanel lipstick in 174 'Angelique.' While the Chanel lipstick shade has been discontinued, Hourglass has a close alternative in the shade 'I'm Addicted.'

Going to the Cowboy Carter tour? Why not use a lip combo approved by Queen Bey herself? Makeup artist Rokael Lizama shared that it was the 'Alignment' Lip Shader, 'Lucero' Lip Oil, and 'Refined' Velvet Creme Lipstick from the namesake Rokael Beauty.

This lip combo is gold-winning. Since the summer 2024 Olympics, Suni Lee's lip combo has gone viral a number of times. And for good reason! Her go-to's, Make Up For Ever's 'Anywhere Caffeine' lip liner and Olehenrikson's 'Citrus Sunshine' peptide lip treatment, are visually stunning. Plus, the lip treatment is said to make your lips feel super soft.

This lip combo is Oscar-winning. For her esteemed portrayal of Ani in Anora, Mikey Madison wore Makeup by Mario shades 'Almond' and 'Toasty,' according to makeup artist Annie Johnson.

A dutiful brand ambassador, Emma Chamberlain told Teen Vogue that she opts for Lancôme's Le Lip liner in the shade 387 and always gets very sweet compliments for it. Even though you can't get that lip liner anymore, Lancôme has a similar lip pencil: the Idôle Lip Shaper Pencil in color 36. Chamberlain also shared her love for the timeless fan-favorite Juicy Tube, much like Olivia Rodrigo.

On the Eras tour, Sabrina Carpenter blessed us with a backstage GRWM and revealed her lip combo. It turned out to be the TikTok-viral NYX Fat Oil Lip Drip in the shades 'Follow Back' and 'Scrollin'' along with an NYX Slim Lip Pencil, a fan-favorite across generations.

Rosalía is another NYX lip liner fan. After we desperately begged her to share her lip combo on the internet for a little bit, she posted a tutorial, and it turns out that she opts for the affordable lip liner in the shade 'Cold Brew.' She tops it with Byredo's 'Earth Dust' for her signature look. She tops it all off with Benefit Cosmetics' Benetint Liquid Lip Blush & Cheek Tint and a Kylie Skin's lip oil.
$5.00, ULTA Beauty
$60.00, Neiman Marcus
Hannah Bahng and rom&nd gave us a whole makeup collection that includes two lippies. Bahng actually told Teen Vogue how to combine the two products for a long-lasting and hydrating lip combo that's also super chic. Apply her Glasting Melting Balm first and layer Juicy Lasting Tint over it, applying it to the center of the lip first and blending out.

'The Summer I Turned Pretty' is triggering millennials who watched 'The Hills' — and here's why
'As a millennial I can't believe I have to watch a woman give up going to paris just to make a manchild happy. AGAIN,' one fan wrote on X. Any millennial raised on MTV-era reality television knows all too well that there's nothing worse than being remembered as the girl who didn't go to Paris. On Wednesday's episode of The Summer I Turned Pretty, which is currently airing its third and final season on Prime Video, the show's main character, 21-year-old Isabel 'Belly' Conklin (Lola Tung) seemingly chooses to forego her semester abroad in Paris so she can spend the summer at a beach house with her fiancé, Jeremiah Fisher (Gavin Casalegno). 'I don't want us to be separated right after we get married,' Belly tells Jeremiah. So, she decides, 'I'll stay.' Immediately, many millennial viewers were reminded of another lovestruck woman who famously chose her boyfriend over a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the French capital: Lauren Conrad from MTV's The Hills. In the Season 1 finale of The Hills, which aired in 2006, Conrad, the show's star, is offered a coveted summer internship with Teen Vogue in Paris. But like Belly, she ultimately chooses to spend the summer with her boyfriend, Jason, on a beach in Los Angeles. The aftermath of this widely frowned-upon decision was addressed in the season two premiere, during a conversation between Conrad, her coworker Whitney Port and Teen Vogue editor Lisa Love. 'Lauren didn't go to Paris. She's going to always be known as the girl who didn't go to Paris,' Love says, before asking Conrad, 'Do you regret that decision? How was your summer at the beach with your boyfriend? Did that work out for you?' Having clocked the uncanny similarities between Belly's and Conrad's decisions, fans of The Summer I Turned Pretty and The Hills have been heading to social media platforms like TikTok and X to air their grievances. Giving up Paris for a 'manchild,' according to these loyal viewers, is so not the move. It's clear, as another fan points out, that Belly didn't watch The Hills. So, does Belly really not go to Paris? And if she doesn't, is it something she'll live to regret? And is Jeremiah actually her forever love? The Summer I Turned Pretty is based on a trilogy of books written by author Jenny Han, so technically, those who have read them know how this story plays out — though Han has teased a possible change of the ending. For right now, it seems Belly is satisfied with choosing the boy over the dream. Conrad was too, though she and Jason ultimately broke up. Solve the daily Crossword

August Tarot Reading: Our Astrologer Reads Tarot Cards For Each Zodiac Sign
All products featured on Teen Vogue are independently selected by Teen Vogue editors. However, when you buy something through our retail links, Condé Nast may earn an affiliate commission. janiecbros August skies are a little less stressful than the previous months, which will hopefully mean this tarot reading will bring more peace. Here's the big planetary picture: Action planet Mars enters Libra on August 6, making us more chill when it comes to how we assert ourselves. We are not looking to fight, instead we wish to resolve situations peacefully. The full moon in Aquarius on August 6 urges us to look forward to the future and embrace our innovative passions. Mercury ends its seasonal retrograde in Leo on August 11, clearing up the story that began when the communication planet began its moonwalk on July 18. The next two weeks will give us a chance to clear up any issues that have been circling our world. The sun enters Virgo on August 22, adding practicality to our lives. The new moon on Virgo on August 23 offers us a chance to get organized and prepare for school as the summer wraps up. Venus moves into Leo on August 25, making us more generous and romantic when it comes to our love lives. But what does this mean for you and your zodiac sign? Here's a monthly tarot reading to help you navigate August with as much clarity as possible. Check yourself before you wreck yourself, Aries! Allow yourself to see another side rather than approaching a situation with a predisposed outlook or mood. You might find that with the right attitude, even the most mundane and boring activities are met with fun. Remember, life is what you make of it, so aim to make the most of these moments. Choose to have a positive view instead of a negative one. One door closes, but another opens immediately. Even though you may feel like your world is ending (the drama persists for everyone during Leo season), you may find that the demise of a cycle leaves room to grow into your best self. Change is hard for your Bullish ways, but it'll be worth the effort and work. You'll elevate into a greater emotional space and place. The possibilities are limitless. This is a time of introspection and reflection. Looking inward will help you understand what you wish to bring into your life and what no longer serves you. Be gentle on yourself while figuring things out. The less pressure you put on yourself, the better. It isn't a race to the finish line, so take your time and come to conclusions at your own pace. Let go of the baggage! At times, it can be hard to relate to the boomers in your family. However, you are all trying to relate to each other on a soulful level in the next month. It'll be a moment of discovery, cheer, and camaraderie. You may even entertain an artistic endeavor that could bond everyone. Perhaps baking cakes, visiting the museum, styling Labubu outfits for your recent purchase, or painting seashells will suffice. Your bank account might currently be inconsistent, but that doesn't mean you should stay home and spend time away from your squad. Put on your favorite top and go out. Before committing to plans, let your besties know that you can't be a baller and must spend the evening doing low-key activities. If you require a temporary loan for a few days, ask your friends; they'll happily accommodate your request. Mercury's moonwalk is shaking up your life. It's put you in a mild funk and is escalating your nerves. You could use a reset on all levels. Awaken your senses during Mercury retrograde and retroshade by spritzing on an invigorating scent that adds tremendous energy to your aura and gives you momentum to take on matters that have been left on the sidelines. Do not underestimate the power of scent. Taking on a leadership role amongst your peers isn't what you signed up for. The reason is that you want to be in an equal partnership with those you care about. As much as you try to resist the job of being a guide to others, you'll find that being able to assist the people you love is rewarding in itself, as long as you look cute while doing it. Since a new chapter is coming, you should celebrate the fresh sentiments you're experiencing this month. You'll find that the flowers smell better and your relationships are shaping up — even your lip gloss is more sparkly. The only piece of advice is not to lose track of yourself. Don't break your curfew by staying out late partying with your crew. Try to be responsible and mature with your freedom. Although you are busy auditing and trying to impress others with your esteemed knowledge, you must allow yourself a moment to lean into your inner child as a way to relinquish control. Cut loose and play with toys every now and again to embrace the younger version of yourself that is still alive in your spirit. Age is just a number, so know that you should never deny yourself pleasure. The effect of the four retrograde planets (Mercury, Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto) is tremendously impacting you. Unfortunately, the past is coming back to haunt you. Old frenemies, classmates, and exes are coming at you, demanding a moment to rehash former battle scars. TBH, you're not up for it this time around. Give yourself a day or two to decompress from the theatrics and relax. Focus on yourself and nobody else. You've been keeping a few secrets close to your heart and some tea is coming out. No one is exposing you; however, the guilt you feel is pushing you to be honest with others. Going forward, you'll make a promise with them to be truthful. Be aware that this doesn't guarantee you will be 100% real 24/7 to everyone, but you will try to be the best version of yourself. Your indecision on matters is leaving you speechless, uncertain, and unsure of what to do. Calling upon your besties for stellar advice when in doubt will offer you the insight needed to get you through difficult situations. Also, do not forget to blend their assessment with your intuition before finalizing a decision. As always, you should listen to the voice within to ensure you're heading in the proper direction, Pisces. Originally Appeared on Teen Vogue Solve the daily Crossword

Jinkx Monsoon Calls Out J.K. Rowling's Name
When it rains, it pours. This is Broadway star and RuPaul's Drag Race alum Jinkx Monsoon, and she had a few cleverly-placed words for the author best known for creating the Harry Potter series. In a clip for her upcoming interview with Ziwe, Jinkx answered a cheeky question about whether or not J.K. Rowling would "make a good Roxy Hart in Chicago." In addition to winning Season 5 of RuPaul's Drag Race and Season 7 of Drag Race All Stars, Jinkx has starred on Broadway as Ruth in Pirates! A Penzance Musical, Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors, and "Mama" Morton in Chicago. She is set to take over as Mary Todd Lincoln in Oh, Mary! in August 2025. Jinkx feigned confusion about J.K.'s identity, seemingly addressing a larger conversation surrounding the British author's anti-trans politics. "Who is Jake? Who is he? Jake Hay Rowling?" Jinkx asked. When Ziwe pointed out that J.K. was a "she", Jinkx immediately said, "Oh, dear. That is not a feminine name in the slightest." Jinkx then suggested that J.K. intentionally misled readers about her gender. "I know that oftentimes, female authors use initials so that people assume it's a male writer," Jinkx said, before adding, "I have to presume that J.K. Rowling was unsatisfied with the way that the world saw her, and then she transitioned herself into a new personality so that the world would perceive her the way she wanted to be perceived." Ziwe and Jinkx locked eyes for a moment, and she responded, "Gagging." In a July 2017 Teen Vogue interview, J.K., whose real name is Joanne, revealed that her publisher for Harry Potter suggested she "disguise" the fact she was a woman so the book "might appeal" to all genders. The author said it didn't last long because once she got a lot of publicity and an advance from America, she was "outed as a woman." Notably, J.K. also writes The Cormoran Strike series under the pen name Robert Galbraith. Over the last few years, J.K. has made headlines for her anti-Trans comments and active campaigning against laws in the UK that would allow transgender people to change their legal gender. Earlier this year, when the UK Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the legal definition of a woman only applied to those whose biological sex is female, J.K. shared a photo with the caption, "I love it when a plan comes together." Watch the clip from Jinkx's interview with Ziwe below: The full interview airs on July 31 at 8 p.m. Eastern time.
