How delicious is this lip, which was the look at Zimmerman yesterday. (Experts from the University of Columbia suggest it could be up to a 9.3 on the Deliciousness Scale.)
See, I've been infatuated with the orange lip for a long time, but tend to gravitate towards the really intense, almost fluoro go. But this lovely muted electric orange lip is so marvellous and even better, because as these girls kindly demonstrate, even the pale-skinned can sass it. (The more pink-based oranges tend to lend themselves to more-olive based skintones.)
Here's the lowdown for DIY fruits:
Important person: Linda Jefferyes, Makeup Artist Director, using Bobbi Brown. Important bits: Use Creamy Concealer under the eye area to hide any dark circles and use Foundation Stick sparingly on face – only use where needed. Ultra-light dusting of Sheer Finish Face Powder. Groom eyebrows upwards and brush through Clear Brow Gel. Use the Eye Definer Brush and Eye Shadow to fill in brows – they need to be defined. Curl eyelashes. Use fingertips to apply Calypso Coral Pot Rouge for Lips and Cheeks on apples of cheeks – blend well. Use the Lip Brush to apply Coral Blush Stick on lips – blot with a tissue.
But I also love the hair. It's styled but soft, y'know? Done but undone, which is kind of Perfect Hair in my mind.
Here's the lowdown for DIY fruits:
Important person: Sophie Roberts for ghd. Important bits: Distribute Fat Hair Lotion throughout. Create a part in the centre and then shake hair dry (using blow dryer) keeping the roots flat. Using the ghd styler take up fine horizontal sections from the roots and iron flat to about 3 inches away from the scalp. Then slightly rotate the ghd styler to 45 degrees and glide through until you reach the ends – as you get to the ends relax the rotation slightly back to about 20 degrees and glide faster to achieve a raw look to the ends.
