Two trends that I have definitely picked up... You either have strong eyes or strong lips, but seldom the two go together for SS09. Mary Kate does the strong eyes very well, and this backstage photo shows the strong, bright lips that are everywhere at the moment.
YSL's lips were deep black this AW08/09, the colour of choice for his clothes as well,and lovely Lily Allen has embraced the look with gusto. It suits her! I don't think black lips suit a lot of people, and they are not a colour that can be worn to just any event. but sometimes, if you are young and your skin is very pale and your hair very dark, you may get away with it...
Our first inspiration comes from a movie star, not a popstar... but it is such a great, simple look and idea that I wanted to have it here.
According to Chloe Sevigny: "My fail-safe glamourous look is major lashes with matt red lipstick"
