NiiMD's Makeup School has been noticing something really strange on the red carpet this spring–starlets and A-listers alike have been digging out their darkest lipstick. Forget about pretty berry, bright pinks, and cool corals (spring trends, all). It’s all about goth, 90s, Courtney Love-circa-the-Hole-era wine pouts. And here’s a secret: We (NiiMD Makeup School) like it.
We’re going to blame/thank Pat McGrath for this one–she painted black cherry puckers on the models for the spring 2012 Balenciaga runway show (McGrath layered CoverGirl Queen lipstick in “Fine Wine” over LipPerfection lipstick in “Euphoria”) and the look really stood out among the sea of nude faces that have been the norm on catwalks the last few seasons. And stars–or their stylists–have taken note.
