Beauty-lovers on TikTok say they've found their perfect lipstick shade thanks to a clever new technique which has left them wondering why they didn't try it sooner.
User Kenzie B showed her 164k following on the platform a method that she mastered some time ago.
It involves viewers using their eyebrow pencil as a lip liner, their blush in the centre of their lips (powder or cream can be used for this) and a lipgloss to bring it all together.
The key to the hack is that you use your usual shades to create the perfect match.

Kenzie - user @yokenzie - who sports a glossy brown lip, shared the secret last month in a video that has since racked up four million views.
And the audio from her video has been used in 5000 other videos of users trying the hack, including well-known TikTok stars Charli D’Amelio, Addison Rae, Abby Roberts and Nikkis Secretx.
Speaking into the camera, Kenzie said: "If you want a tip keep watching. Your perfect lip shade will be; eyebrow liner, your eyebrow pencil lining your lip, and then whatever you use for blush in the middle of your lip. And then a gloss."
"It will always be your perfect lip shade.
"Then mix that thang up. You're taking two natural colours together on your lips.
"That's what I always tell the girls, they always say what's your lip combination, I say baby, I'm going to tell you what I do, but then you're going to have to do you."
In the original video, Kenzie uses her usual Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in medium brown and Becca Maui Nights Sunlit Bronzer, finishing the look with a clear gloss.
Follower Han said: "I did this this morning and it was fantastic."
Some questioned how the tip would work for those with blonde or black eyebrow pencils.
User maeve said: "I'm sorry but I have blonde eyebrows," to which kylie baxter replied: "It worked me and I'm blonde."
Beauty retailer Justmylook says that since the trend has gone viral, demand for eyebrow pencils has spiked 133 per cent with shoppers wanting to create their ‘perfect’ lip shade.
