Dark Lipstick Is No Longer Goth — It's Oscars-Approved

We weren't expecting much excitement by way of makeup on the Oscars red carpet. Typically, the ladies like to keep it sweet and classy (and there's nothing wrong with that!). So as beauty editors, we were ecstatic to see something new at the big event — vampy lipsticks. Ladies like Kerry Washington and Margot Robbie proved that dark, moody lip colors can be elegant, too. So go ahead and wear that inky plum shade to your next formal event. It's a trend that's Oscars-approved!
