The Perfect Pale Lip courtesy of Edward Bess!

Popped into Bergdorf Goodman yesterday to browse the cosmetic section for new Spring picks.

Stopped to chat with Edward Bess about his lipstick line and accidentally discovered the perfect formula to create the Pale Lip look that I wrote about last week.

I used 'Nude Lotus', one of his amazing lipsticks, as a base and then topped that off with 'Desert Glow' one of five 'Deep Shine Lip Glosses' he sells.

As I mentioned when I first wrote about Edward Bess, these lip products smell SOOOO good. They are scented with wild Fig. And they really are wonderfully moisturizing. Finished product: gorgeous.

Have to run out, but will post a picture of the lip color later in the evening...(Done: see pic above, sorry for the glare!)

Oh and a quick note, a lipstick from the Edward Bess line will be featured in the July 2007 issue of InStyle Magazine...according to Bess, it is most likely 'Natural Seduction', which is a Taupe-y shade that I tried last night, so beautiful, perfect with the 'Nude Lotus' on top....anyway the theme being 'sophisticated' in the style of Dita Von Teese. Ummm, sounds intriguing.

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.

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


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