A funny thing happened recently -- I was rewatching Legally Blonde when a scene stood out to me: One of Elle's sorority sisters was struggling with her lip liner. Lip liner? I thought. It sounded so... dated. And yet, lip pencils (and their softer, creamier cousin, lip crayons) are inescapable in GRWM videos. I had to ask myself -- did we all quietly re-brand lip liners into lip pencils without realizing it? Because that's exactly what it feels like.
