TRENDCASTING

TUTORIAL + PHOTOGRAPHY BY AMY NADINE, GRAPHIC DESIGN BY EUNICE CHUN

Last year the It Lip was Oxblood, which is still really hot (revisit our Oxblood Tutorial here). This year, we’ve scoped out the A/W 14 runways and the best of the street style bloggers and have determined this to be this year’s must try lip color! You can wear it glossy or try our DIY stain version. Here’s how:

TOOLS:

• Your Foundation or Liquid Concealer: We’re obsessed with Eve Lom Radiance Perfected Tinted Moisturizer and have been wearing it every day since we got our hands on it.
• Foundation Brush (or Fingers): I actually use MAKE UP FOR EVER’s Medium Concealer Brush as a full face foundation brush because I love how thin it is (so less product gets wasted stuck in the bristles and more is deposited on the face).
• Dark Berry Lip Color: Morgan is wearing Shiseido Lacquer Rouge in Nocturne (Drama is really gorgeous too). Also, if you haven’t discovered Ellis Faas Creamy Lips yet, her Deep Plum Wine and Deep Fuchsia are to die for.
• Blotting Paper: By now you know Tatcha Evening Aburatorigami Beauty Papers are our favorites!

STEPS:

1. When you’re applying your foundation all over your face and neck, go ahead and apply it over your lip area.
2. Pat it into the lip lines if necessary.
3. Apply the berry shade directly from the tube or wand in this case.
4. Place a blotting paper over the lip area and gently press.
