And then sometimes you just can't decide. For those times when you find yourself swaying between a bold, dramatic look and a simple, minimal one, why not take a cue from these ladies at the Teen Choice Awards and rock both? We spotted a little trend at this year's TCAs that combined a dark, heavy eyeliner and a subtle, natural lip color. From Selena Gomez to Nina Dobrev, check out how four stars made this combo work.

Nina Dobrev showed off her Air Optix Colors colored contact lenses with heavy mocha liner on both the top and bottom lids, which flicked out into a subtle cat eye. To balance out the heavy liner, Dobrev stuck to a matte flesh-toned lip.
