Darker than dark lip gloss is going to be all the rage this winter. It was seen on the
YSL runway where
Stefano Pilati sent the models out sporting an eye covering black bob and glossed black lips. Always a fan of all things punk rock and slightly rebellious, I am hopping on the trend. A lacquered black cherry lip looks perfectly ladylike with the tailored dark looks dominating the runways, but avoid wearing it with anything too grungy or held together with safety pins or you run the risk of looking like
Marilyn Manson. Just in case you're still on the wait list for
YSL's Pur Black gloss (which sold out of stores earlier this month), here some other options.
Lancome has its own version, called
Piha Black, a limited-edition offering available this month at
Bloomingdale's and on their website. The set retails for $48 and comes paired with red lipstick.
Lipstick Queen, known mostly for her great red lipsticks, has also come up with her version called
"Black Tie Optional," A sheer black lipstick and gloss made to wear on its own or over another lipstick for more depth. Get them quick before they ALL sell out!
