Love It or Hate It? Gray Lips at Doo.Ri

February 20, 2009

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?

ugh, it looks like she has cyanide poisoning. Go dark red/purple/black or white out or something else, not grey.

She looks really pale with that shade of lip stick.

Undecided. 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.

Now, 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.
