The art of creating a perfect lip look has evolved in beauty culture, with lip combos—expertly chosen trios of lip liner, lipstick, and gloss—now serving as personal signatures for makeup lovers everywhere. Modern icons JT and Alex Consani team up with MAC Cosmetics to curate exclusive limited-edition lip kits, each reflecting their distinct aesthetics and creative philosophies. Discover the inspiration, products, and trends surrounding these custom lip combos, and learn how these influential personalities bring runway-worthy choices to everyday beauty routines.

Why Lip Combos Are the New Beauty Signature

Gone are the days of simply swiping on a random lipstick or gloss and calling it a look. In 2025, constructing the ideal lip combo—selecting a liner to shape, a lipstick to add color, and a gloss to amplify shine—is essential for achieving confidence, personality, and artistry in appearance. Lip combos enhance natural features, redefine lip shapes, and serve as an individual beauty statement. This approach captures a shift toward curated, personally meaningful routines where every product layer matters.

JT’s Must-Have: Chestnut Lip Pencil

JT calls MAC’s Chestnut Lip Pencil a lifelong staple, explaining, “Since I was young, I would explore shades that matched my skin tone… Chestnut always made the most sense for me.” This liner anchors her look, creating depth and precision that elevates any lipstick or gloss pairing.

Beauty Philosophy: No Rules, All Expression

For Alex, makeup is “just a way to feel good and try things.” She’s moved past any stress about perfection, embracing days when she feels like going full glam or skipping color altogether. “I’m not interested in rules or anything overly curated. It’s boring,” she remarks, reflecting the Gen-Z rejection of strict beauty guidelines. Alex’s playful attitude extends to social media and runway shows, where she experiments freely without worrying about trends or conventions.
