both pictures into the gloss
In make up, as in fashion (as in life, no doubt), there are only two options this season. With either your long dresses or your tiny tiny minis, with either your lace up wedge boots or your classic ballet flats, with either your shearling aviator jacket or your camel coat - there are two choices for your lips. One of them is tried and tested and oh so true: the classic, infallible red lipstick. Rich, sultry and the best friend of first dates the world over, the red lipstick is a staple of every woman's beauty bag. With just a lick you can go from bored to bombshell. It can be cool (think, phillip lim shorty shorts and an acne silk shirt) or collected (louis vuitton circle skirt and classy kitten heels). It can be summer (denim cut offs and a mille-feuille thin tee shirt) or winter (tweedy coat, chunky scarf and big boots).
But after years of the red lip are we ready for something else? The other option is something I am much more interested in. The new nude lip. In keeping with the natural look - tousled hair and glowing, but unadorned skin - the new colour for lips isn't really a colour at all. Maryna Linchuk in the photo above is wearing NARS Pure Matte lipstick in Tashkent, a colour that practically makes the lip disappear against the skin. I once tried this look with concealer on my lip - it looked fab but tasted horrible. NARS is a much better bet, methinks. It is so matte it's ridiculous (a touch of cream might be nice), but the effect is something fantastic. It's quite possibly the coolest thing I've done in make up since the winged cat eye-liner, this matte, beige, super super natural lip is just so damn hip. Paired with a clean face and a really smoky eye it will make a huge impact for evening, and with a tee shirt and a long skirt for day. Easy. Simple. And oh so chic.
The choice is yours.
