Enter Katie Jane Hughes\u2014makeup artist, founder of her eponymous KJH Brand, and the woman behind some of Dua Lipa, Lily Allen, and Hailey Bieber\u2019s most show-stopping looks\u2014who has taught countless beauty fans a thing or two about makeup application (head to her TikTok if you\u2019re not there already). Her prediction for next year? \u201cCrisp, hard-lined lips are out, and soft, pillowy, blurry lips are in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Think of it as a kind of \u201chalo\u201d lip. Hughes first encountered the look early on in her career, while assisting on a photoshoot. Rather than keeping a bold red lip sharply defined, the makeup artist softened and blurred the edges with a brush. \u201cIt looked super effortless,\u201d Hughes recalls. \u201cI just thought, oh, that\u2019s cool.\u201d Now, she name-checks fellow makeup artist, Nina Park, as someone who nails the look time and time again.<\/p>\n<p>Now this soft, diffused lip is back \u2014 and it\u2019s here to make your lips look cushiony-soft and that little bit fuller, but in the most natural, girl-next-door way.<\/p>\n<p>The toolkit is simple: a matte (not shimmery) cream bronzer, a fluffy pencil brush, and a lip contour crayon. Then you can get to work. \u201cTake a bit of cream bronzer and really work it into your brush,\u201d Hughes advises. \u201cThen skim that bronzer around the perimeter of your mouth, creating this bronzey halo.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The world went mad for lip liner this year, and in 2026, we\u2019ll be experimenting&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5206,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[236],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5205","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-beauty"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/markcomedia.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5205","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/markcomedia.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/markcomedia.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/markcomedia.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/markcomedia.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5205"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/markcomedia.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5205\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/markcomedia.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5206"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/markcomedia.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5205"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/markcomedia.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5205"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/markcomedia.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5205"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
