Lori Harvey always blooms in the summer. From enviable swimwear to casual street style, she’s one to watch for seasonal style inspiration, and that includes her makeup. On Sports Illustrated Swimsuit IssueWhile celebrating her 60th anniversary in Hollywood, Florida on May 18, she channeled the ’90s with her lip kit, which consisted of a obscure brown lip liner paired with a pink nude lipstick. Such deep, contrasting inserts were a staple of the decade, and the style star is one of many stars who still wears the style. What’s more, Harvey proves to be pretty all year round.
Harvey, who appears in the recent issue, graced the carpet in a form-fitting, embellished dress with a perfectly undone bun, radiant pink, and ultra-luscious eyelashes. However, her lips were the main focus of the gaze. The model’s wealthy brown lining has been melted inward for an ombré effect. And although she loves shiny moments, this time she decided on something more matte.
Other renowned fans of the obscure brown lining include A-list lovers like Zendaya and Beyoncé, who committedly wore the look throughout the first quarter of 2024. While social media has introduced it to recent generations, the brown lining has been around for decades. It has also played a role in mainstream beauty movements, especially for women of color.
So if you like Harvey’s look, you don’t need any other sign to choose a contrasting lip combination. The beauty of this style is that it can be dressed up – as Harvey wore it – for more drama, or it can be more pared down. To try the latter, keep the rest of your makeup to a minimum (think glowing skin, groomed brows, and a little mascara) and apply your favorite clear lip gloss. Whichever way you try it, follow Harvey’s lead by blending your foundation well for a gentle transition to the lighter inner shade.
Harvey didn’t reveal exactly what obscure brown liner she was wearing SI swimsuit In this case, there are many options available on the market to choose from, differing in shade (balmy, nippy and neutral) as well as price range. So there really is something for everyone and for every budget. Here are some options to try.
