Hot trend: red lips

Seen on catwalks and celebs everywhere!

Stylised, Art-Deco make-up and hair is a big trend this season. We’re not talking the come-hither look of last year; this style is more understated; vintage in the prettiest, most romantic sense of the word. Think hair swept off the face and cascading down one side, elegantly groomed eyebrows, little or no liner, natural lashes and, of course, lips perfectly painted in a sultry, matte red lipstick. Complement the look with a dewy base, a lick of white eyeshadow on the inner V of the eye, and a coat of black mascara. Who said red lips were hard to pull off?

I dunno I thought the red lip was more winter, i think the best look this season is more the neutral, natural look.. much more pretty for the season...   Report thisReport this
