With both US GQ and US Vogue embracing this new lip colour trend on the covers of their new issues by painting Lindsay Lohan and Scarlett Johansson’s lips dark for the covers.
You have to admit this is a pretty good indication that dark coloured lips reminiscent of the mid 90s dark lips trend are really coming back in for the cooler months of the year. Unless, like Cathy Hoyrn, you think US Vogue isn’t as trend setting as they use to be.
What do you think of the dark lip trend? I personally can’t wait for the Peter Som and Lancome plum coloured lipstick to come out. But I think Scarlett’s lips are too dark, makes her look a bit goth.
Thinking of giving this trend a go? Try going a few shades darker with the Clairns Le Rouge lipstick from AdoreBeauty.com.au (pictured above) before jumping straight into the deep end with something really dark.
I think Scarlett’s are way too dark – goth-esque.
The dark lips has been popping up a bit in the fall/winter time over in the US – Mary-Kate Olsen, Nicole Richie and Lindsay sported them around christmas time. It looks good if they are darkish red (Lindsay), but not over the top. I might even take a walk on the dark side!!!
Good lord! The airbrushing on Scarlett’s face on that cover is atrocious. Someone needs to get the sack. Look at her forehead!
