The beauty tendency you thought was lost forever is returning. Once upon a time trademark of y2K makeup, «concealer lips»They regain their place on the runways and red carpets and we have all the details on how to achieve the refreshed look with a modern approach.

Ah, the circular character of beauty trends. Just as fashion reinstates old stylistic choices, so does our accessory look like a nostalgic déjà vu. Do you remember the beginning of the 2000s, when the “concealer lips” made us look like zombie movie comedies? Well, keep your lip pencil nearby, because the new nudes make comeback – but this time with a version so fresh that it would make the older versions jealous.

Then, the creation of the coveted nude lips meant to grab your concealer, ending up in a matte, one -dimensional look that, afterwards, did not collapse our skin at all. Quickly in front of 2025, and the beauty industry has matured. Today’s nudes are about dimension, hydration and – we dare to say – personality.

We see again interest in the very light -colored or cold tones nude lips. They are edgy and leave their eyes at the center, and I think we are tired of all these warm tones.

Experts attribute this return to the revival of lip pencils. They are mainly used to give volume, by defining the border with a darker shade, while a lighter lipstick in the center creates an Ombré effect. The trend of the concealer lip returns, but unlike the early 2000s, where it was often just a pale lip that was “lost” on the skin, the modern version includes a lip pencil to give definition and balance.

But how do we avoid spectacular look

The key is to make the skin look healthy and warm. A lot of preparation with moisturizing, bronzer and highlighter to “bring” the skin, plus a little warm on the eyes so that the lips do not look too cold or inhumane. It is not only the color that has evolved – and the composition of the products has been renewed. Forget the old, dry and cakey textures. Today’s nude lips have moisturizing, satin textures that look – and feel – wonderful. Then we used a concealer or foundation to create nude lips, which often looked dry and unhappy. Today it is much easier with the new formulas – we can erase, mix and play with the shades much more freely.

How to adopt the trend right

Just have fun with the look. Try a darker lip pencil with open lipstick in the center. If you don’t want to go full cold, you can add a warmer lipstick to the middle. There are infinite nude shades – it started deciding to finish. Matt for editorial look, satin for natural effect or glossy for fuller, shiny lips. Then choose the ideal hypoton (pink, peach or beige) that matches your skin.

A DIY approach: Start with your favorite neutral lipstick and mix it with a little concealer to cool down and open the tone. Apply it to the center of the lips and turn off outwardly for a more natural, worn effect.

As we say goodbye to the overly warm tones of previous years, the “new nudes” invite us to explore a colder, edgy palette. With improved formulas and emphasis on individuality, this trend proves that sometimes returning to the past can lead to a much more beautiful present.
