NYFW Trend: Dark Lips are Back for Fall

Dark lips on the runway at Marchesa, Marc Jacobs, and Phillip Lim (BFA/Imaxtree).

After a season full of nude lip colors, it was a breath of fresh air to see dark, velvety lip shades back on the runway for fall 2015. The good news is you don’t have to wait until fall to start wearing a rich, creamy lip—it’s the perfect look to go with this cool winter weather.

On the runway at Marchesa, makeup artist Gucci Westman created a Gatsby style glamorous look using Revlon Lip Liner in Raisin and Super Lustrous Lipstick in Black Cherry.

The beauty look at Phillip Lim by makeup artist Francele Daly (Imaxtree).

For the Phillip Lim show, Francelle Daly created a rich oxblood lip (inspired by the color of Doc Martens in the 1990s) to give models a cool, punk look. To get the look now, try using Nars Mysterious Red Velvet Matte Lip Pencil.

The beauty look at Marc Jacobs by makeup artist François Nars (Imaxtree).

At the Marc Jacobs show Nars creative director and founder François Nars was inspired by the sophisticated women of the 1950s and 1960s (think Babe Paley and Diana Vreeland), and sent models down the runway with a matte, eggplant lip.
