That's why we've taken the guesswork out of your beauty routine by selecting the best lipstick and lip liner combinations for 2025. Dive into the latest trends and discover the ideal pairings that will elevate your look effortlessly.

YSL Beauty and Lancôme 

The YSL Beauty Rouge Pur Couture and the Lancôme Lip Idole Lip Shaper are a game-changer if you are looking for a bold statement. The Rouge Pur Couture offers a burst of pure color and leaves your lips feeling softer and smoother. With 40 couture shades spread across 4 color families, there's a perfect match for every skin tone. On the other hand, the Lancôme Lip Idole Lip Shaper is designed to glide on effortlessly without tugging. It provides lasting color and allows for instantly shaped and contoured lips, making it the ideal companion to the Rouge Pur Couture. Together, these products transform your lip look into a masterpiece. 

Dior and Glossier

What truly sets the Dior Rouge Dior Forever Transfer-Proof Lipstick apart is its luxurious creamy texture combined with a stunning matte glow and a vibrant and intact color throughout the day. Plus, it's transfer-proof, meaning you can say goodbye to those pesky lipstick smudges on your skin or clothes. The collection comes in a range of 28 shades, including iconic colors like the timeless "999 Forever Dior" red and the chic "100 Forever Nude Look". For an even more defined pout, pair it with the Glossier Lip Line Enhancing Pencil or the Dior Contour Lip Pencil in a matching shade.

Rhode and MAC

It's no surprise that Rhode's Peptide Lip Tint has become synonymous with Hailey Bieber's makeup looks, whether the founder of the brand is going for a casual day vibe or a glamorous night out. The magic happens when you pair the Peptide Lip Tint with the MAC lip liner or the Peptide Lip Shape. The lip liner adds dimension and creates a beautifully contoured effect, while the MAC lip liner features a smooth and creamy texture to sculpt or fill the lips, and the Peptide Lip Tint delivers a glossy finish that not only looks fantastic but also nourishes and moisturizes your lips. If you're looking to elevate your lip game, it’s worth trying out Benetint from Benefit Cosmetics before applying the Peptide Lip Tint. If you're eager to explore something new, the Balm Dotcom Espresso from Glossier is a must-have. With its nourishing blend of Lanolin and Cupuaçu Fruit Extract, it offers long-lasting hydration while embracing the timeless Hollywood glamour of the '90s.

L’Oréal Paris and Fenty

Infused with hyaluronic acid and tripeptides, the new L’Oréal Paris Hyaluron Lip Oil ensures your lips look instantly smoother and plumper, making a bold statement with every application. Available in 10 stunning shades, there's a perfect match for every mood and occasion. To complete the look, pair it with the Fenty Trace'd Out Pencil Lip Liner. This creamy liner, crafted with pure pigments, not only enhances your lips but also offers long-lasting wear for up to 8 hours. Together, they create a standout duo that's sure to make you fall for it.

VIOLETTE_FR and Charlotte Tilbury

If you're on the hunt for the perfect lipstick to achieve a subtle blurry effect and that just-been-kissed effect look, look no further than the Bisou Balm. The latest addition to VIOLETTE_FR's collection, Mon Chéri, is a shade that strikes the perfect balance between warmth and sophistication. Inspired by the nostalgic delight of dark chocolate-covered Morello cherries from Violette's childhood, this dark red hue captures the creaminess and indulgence of the treat in a matte formula. Mon Chéri blends red and brown with a touch of black and a hint of yellow to create a warm, flattering color that offers a natural yet enhanced look. According to Violette, the brand's founder, this shade is a close relative of their best-seller Bêtise. "Whereas Bêtise oscillates between warm and cold, Mon Chéri leans more towards the warm, making it the ideal shade for darker skin tones. The idea was to create a lipstick that was modelled on the colour of your lips, but in a more saturated version, and both shades have a natural undertone, which makes them really versatile." For a flawless finish that never feels out of place, pair it with the Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat liner in Pillow Talk.

Makeup By Mario

Makeup By Mario’s SuperShine Lip Gloss has been making waves across TikTok and social media due to its array of 11 curated shades. Its high-shine effect not only delivers a dazzling finish but also nourishes your lips as it contains pomegranate extract, jojoba oil, and hyaluronic acid. This formula feels weightless and smooth, providing a perfect finish to any makeup routine. Whether you're wearing it on bare lips or as the final touch to your lip combo, it’s bound to elevate your style, especially when pairing it with the Ultra Suede Sculpting Lip Pencil.

Glossier and Victoria Beckham

What’s not to love about Glossier’s new Lip Glaze? Available in six versatile shades, (from Creamy, a warm pink; to Melty, a rich reddish brown; Icy, a sheer blue; Tangy, a coral pink; Chilly, a cool-toned baby pink; and Frosty, a sheer lilac), this offers a creamy and nourishing formula that delivers a subtle shine and long-lasting hydration. Lips can be expertly contoured with Victoria Beckham Beauty Lip Definer Trio. This limited-edition set features three lip pencils: a slightly lighter brown variation on 02 Lip Definer (limited edition), a neutral beige brown for light to medium lip tones, Victoria’s go-to natural lip shade, and a slightly more warm pink variation on 02 Lip Definer (limited edition).

Anastasia Beverly Hills

Lana Del Rey’s beauty look at the Met Gala perfectly complemented her custom Valentino. So did her sophisticated lip combo: a combination of the Mocha Lip Pencil paired with the Lip Velvet in Pink Sand. Makeup artist Pamela Cochrane drew inspiration from elegant dandyism and the iconic allure of 1950s glamour to create a soft, velvety lip that appeared almost powdery in texture. The Mocha Lip Pencil was used to outline her lips in a warm, deep brown tone, adding depth and definition. This was seamlessly paired with the Lip Velvet in Pink Sand, a matte finish product in a delicate powdery pink shade, which brought the look together with a touch of refinement. 

Westman Atelier

Westman Atelier’s latest must-have beauty essential is the Lip Shape Lip Liners. Inspired by Gucci Westman's signature technique, these lip liners offer a range of natural tones that glide seamlessly across your lips, enhancing their natural contours with remarkable precision and ease. The secret? A blend of micronized pigments and creamy wax that ensures a flawless, true-to-life color application, and long-lasting definition. The perfect lipstick to go with is the Lip Suede matte lipstick or the Squeaky Clean Liquid Lip Balm. The lip liner is available from May 15th on Sephora.
