Struggling to find the perfect lip combo to complete your look of the day? Well, this TikTok trend may just be your best bet!
You’ve probably heard about TikToker Kenzie B (@yokenzieb), A.K.A. Mackenzie Burn, who's taking the platform by storm with her technique for always getting the "perfect lip shade." Her unconventional tips of using a brow pencil and blush on the lips have garnered her an astounding 4.2 million views, and for good reason.
Hundreds of makeup TikTokers—both local and international—have filmed themselves with the sound to prove whether this technique really works. Check out our faves Marj Maroket (@marjmaroket) and Kai Javier (@kaijavier) absolutely rocking the trend!
To see if this trend truly deserves the hype, I gave it a try for my Valentine’s Day look. Scroll down for a quick tutorial and the results of the “perfect lip shade” trend!
How to Do the "Perfect Lip" Technique from TikTok
Step 1: Take your go-to brow pencil and use it to line your lips. You can keep it as light, dark, blurred, or defined as you want. Quick tip: make sure to properly moisturize your lips, especially if your brow pencil is on the dry side!

Step 2: Fill in the center of your lips with the same blush you used on your cheeks. I used a light layer of Rom&nd’s See-Through Matte Tint in the shade Maple Red for this look.

Step 3: Top it off with your favorite gloss! You can use a clear gloss to make your blush shade the star of the look, or a tinted one for an extra wash of color. I went for Issy & Co.'s Hydragloss in 911 for bit of a peachy shine.
