Backstage at the Doo.Ri show, lead makeup artist Tom Pecheux revealed the inspiration for this grayscale look. "It's a contradiction between romantic and gothic and punk," he explained. "It's not black-and-white, but there is no color." He used concealer blended with MAC Lip Mix in black to create the sheer gray wash. While it's not a look you'd wear to the office, I thought it was a fresh take on the dark beauty trend. Kind of goth-lite, and vaguely otherworldly. Do you think it's cool?

She looks deathly. I don't like it.
1It's gross. Very corpse-like.
2Hate it!
3Eww.
4ugh. Black is better!
5The gray is very cadaver chic. No likey.
6Oooo...so I see the Black Plague look is back in vogue?
7who the hell voted yes?
she looks like she jus put her mouth in an ashtray
8I never liked the black glossy lips so needless to say this is horrific! Seriously Corpse Bride lips ain't cute!
9It looks like she's ill.
10I don't think black or grey belong on lips!
11Hopefully not a trend that lasts...but fade into the gray (pun intended). Who wants gray beauty? Save this for art, not beauty.
12If this catches on, it'll definitely be one of those things we'll look back on in 5-10 years and be like, "WHAT WERE WE THINKING?"
13Awful....
14NO NO NO!!!
15I love gray nail polish but not gray lipstick. Gross.
16She looks depressed and ready to murder. Not pretty.
17Hate it, but on a side note this model has a doll's face if there ever was one.
18It works for the runway... running errands... not so much
19uhm..that looks really gross. she almost looks like a guy :/
20I think she looks delicious...
21Maybe if I were dead and a zombie that would be a good look
22I put love it, but ONLY for the runway. No one should actually go for this trend. No one!
23Zombie much?
24Haaaaaate! Grey is for storm clouds and chalkboards.
25No. I don't think that very many people could pull this off.
26not cute at all
27eww eww nnnooooo
28in a fashion show, basically anything goes, but as for it's aesthetic beauty or for walking down the street, it's just ugly...
29Now, I don't mind a near-black look, but this is honestly too close to cadaver-ish for comfort. My mother died at home, and I am not kidding when I say her lips were starting to turn a just-slightly-more-blue version of this.
30Undecided. I like it as a look for the show, but can't see how it could translate to the streets. I'm all for it if it can be done well. Better than black to me.
31She looks really pale with that shade of lip stick.
32she looks like a zombie
33ugh, it looks like she has cyanide poisoning. Go dark red/purple/black or white out or something else, not grey.
34Gross.
