Trend Alert: Nude, Matte Lips

Trend Alert: Nude, Matte Lips at the Emmys

September 21, 2009

On the red carpet last night, tons of celebrities played down their makeup, especially lips. As usual, there were lots of soft pinks and shimmers, but the dominant trend was nude, matte lips. Whether part of an understated look designed to let a dress or jewelry shine through, like Ginnifer Goodwin and Kristin Chenoweth, or as a soft foil to dramatic eyes, like Kim Kardashian and Mila Kunis, the matte lip is a sexy, subtle way to keep a dramatic look from being overdone. What do you think of a matte nude?

Kim Kardashian looks like a freak! Your lips should NOT be lighter than your face!

My lips are large so I'm usually trying to downplay them. I've been looking for a good matte nude lipstick.

Apparently, Kristen Chenowith had a really bad migraine at the Emmys, maybe those bulging veins are a result of that? Scary though, very freaky, she really looks like she should lay down(which they said she did later) or her head will explode a la "Scanners"!

How could Megan start this if it has cycled in and out since like the 60s? I like the look, but don't love it. I like pinkier nudes, so the lip isn't too pale and yeah, corpse looking.
