At London Fashion Week, I noticed a couple of outlandish beauty trends such as crimped hair and modern cornrow braids. But what I remember most vividly from my backstage access was the look of goth lips.
Designers like Julian MacConald, Nathan Jenden, Ossie Clark and Inbar Spector all chose a midnight lip to reflect a chic and distinguishable edge. I'm not a big fan of morbid makeup, but it definitely has shock value on the runway. Would you ever wear blood-colored lipstick?

Are you saying that cornrows are "outlandish"?
1I like cornrows and am always happy to see them, especially on the runways. I should have said they're unusual on the runways — I'll be more precise with my words next time.
2Actually I kind of like the look at these girls now for me no way but it looks cool.
3What a beautiful face shape on model #2 with the gold mask. *sigh* I'd love to look like that. :\
4I don't have the coloring for this...
5Ooooh! I wish I had enough moxie to sport a blood-red mouth. When it's done well, I really admire it as a look.
6OH YEAH! my time to shine haha i've always loved Black gloss
last model with the gloss is my fave shade of black!
7That was cool in the 90's for a while. I had that color, but I wasn't allowed to wear it to school.
8we wont discuss flutters dark makeup days.....anyhoo i really like this on the runway and it makes me hopeful that we are getting back to real makeup instead of barely there.
9I'm not a fan of this look, to be honest. I'd probably only ever wear makeup like this for Halloween.
10It looks good (sometimes) on the Fashion runway, Fashion photo shoots or ads or in Music videos... But in "real" life, I don't think so.
11I have an OPI lipstick that's a deep, deep matte burgundy and it looks REALLY stunning on an almost-blank face. Like, perfect skin, but just mascara on the eyes. It takes a lottt of balls to wear it out and I can only do it on special occasions, but I love the look of it.
12i rearlly want to know... who is the make up artist of nathan jenden london fashion week!!!
anybody know??
