Covet and Crave: Red Lips

Every year red lips make a scene on the runway only to return the following year with a twist. Fall 09 sought inspiration from the 1940's with a modern flux from the 1980's. Described as uptown-downtown the pout is not so severe and the rest of the face is naturally dramatic.
Being a simple and natural pallet that covets flesh tone colors for the eyes and lips; but craving something more dramatic for an upcoming party. Perhaps this year's take on the red lip is just the inspiration I need....xoxo laura




backstage drama




naturally bold


blanc en red



one of my favorite looks...
subtle eyes & bold lips




radiant red...
her skin is just glowing and the
lip has more copper undertones




uptown chic
total glam...dramatic eyes, hair & lips





simple sophistication






new look...
a totally different approach for Lauren
this may be a bit overdone







sultry siren
MK's look here got a bit of mixed reviews...but
I love the mixture of smoldering copper eyes with the red lip









rosy & red










even with jeans










red kitten
I love the cat eyeliner, glowing skin & red lip
(this may be a favorite look too & normally I
don't like her look...perplexing)









raven in red












blonde & brick









classic
never one to disappoint the trademark

  1. My favorite look is "raven in red" pic because her lip line kind of disappears at the corners. Red lips can look so painted on to me and severe if the eyes are don't just perfectly right. I guess that's why I avoid bright red lips.. I never get the eyes (brown) to even out the dramatic red!

  2. Try a matte eye void of much color and kohl black liner. Check out www.maccosmetics.com
