Beauty Alert: Pale Lips

Reminiscent of Twiggy and Barbarella, the runway was filled with images of the 'pale lip'. Sometimes paired with a strong eye, preferably smoky and sometimes alone, it is always a powerful statement. If you can pull it off with your colouring, do try, its fun. I have a British friend who regularly sports this look, and I am so envious of her care-free attitude towards it.

To get this look, try:

Light Muted Pink from the "Barbie loves MAC" collection,



Barbarella or Belle de Jour from Nars,


Dahlila Flesh (a peachy beige shimmer) from Vincent Longo,


and of course the cult "pale lip" from Lancome (also available at Bloomies).
