A/W 2012/13 Trends - Deep Hued Lips

The Autumn/Winter collections this year were not just about the garments. Whilst at most shows, the makeup was graphic and bold, others had the simplicity of a poignant, groomed brow with little else.

This will be the first in a series of looking at the Autumn/Winter makeup trends. I have to say, that researching the upcoming collections made me giddy and I can't wait to try them out.

The Deep Hued Lip

The first of  the series will look at the slightly Gothic, edgy, and mysterious deep hued/ berry stained lip. The keys to pulling this off is finding the right shade for you and pinch of colour on the cheek that's within the same colour family.
