Say goodbye to sharp lines and hello to smudged sophistication. Blurred lips are officially in, and Laura Mercier’s Caviar Perfecting Lip Liner is your new secret weapon for nailing the trend.
If Hailey Bieber’s lips have been looking a little hazy lately, don’t adjust your screen—it’s totally intentional. The crisp, 2016-era lip line has officially taken a backseat to something softer, more romantic, and way more wearable: the blurry lip.
Call it a K-beauty crossover or a modern take on French-girl chic, but the new generation of lip liner is all about blending, not bordering. Think diffused edges, lived-in pigment, and that effortless “I just had a macaron and kissed someone cute” vibe. And the hero product to pull it off? Enter: Laura Mercier's Caviar Perfecting Lip Liner.
What Is the Blurry Lip Liner Trend?
The blurred lip look is equal parts pouty and polished. Instead of outlining your lips with razor-sharp precision, you softly define and diffuse your lip shape, letting the color melt naturally into your lipstick or balm. It’s flirty. It’s modern. And best of all? It’s low-maintenance glam you can swipe on in your Uber.
With its velvety texture and non-dragging, feather-proof formula, Caviar Perfecting Lip Liner makes this technique basically foolproof—even if you're applying at red lights (not that we recommend it).
How to Nail the Blurred Lip Look (Without a Makeup Degree)
Step 1: Line, But Make It Soft
Grab your Caviar Perfecting Lip Liner and sketch a loose outline around your lips. This isn’t the time for precision—think more soft framework, less geometry class. The vibe is “perfectly imperfect.”
Step 2: Blur the Edges Like a Pro
Use your fingertip (or the Lip Color Brush if you’re feeling fancy) to gently smudge the edges inward. You’re going for that soft-focus, hazy gradient that makes lips look plush and full—like you just blotted off a lip tint after sipping iced coffee.
Step 3: Layer on the Lipstick
Now comes the fun part. Tap on your Caviar Hydra Crème Lipstick or Caviar Smoothing Matte Lipstick, focusing on the center of the lips. Blend it out into the liner for that “your lips but better—but like, editorial” finish.
