Beautify New York: Dark Gothic Lips

Fall 2008 collections from New York to London, rocked runways with new beauty trends. When orange, yellow and red autumn leaves start falling, you want your wardrobe and makeup to feel warm and classic. I wasn’t sure how long it was going to take, but finally the bronzed, sun-baked look for skin is over. Make-up artists opted for pale skin and a knock-out lip. And the shade of choice, anything dark, dark, dark. Designers like Rodarte and Jaeger, went for a deep wine lip, while designers like YSL and Giles went for a dramatic black lip. With muted colors on the skin and dark shades on the lip, the contrast is not only dramatic but reminiscent of that gothic girl you always saw at the mall. Take this look up a notch and dust a yellow shadow across the lids for a more playful effect.
