A Perfect, Wearable Dark Lipstick Look

The brand’s shows are known for their extravagant beauty, like baby’s breath crowns, so many flowers stuck in the hair, and so much glitter. If you love pretty, romantic excess, you’ll be happy to see that Rodarte still doesn’t get “no-makeup makeup.”

For Fall 2020, the inspiration was Mina Harker, Winona Ryder’s character from Dracula. Although Harker was technically not a vampire princess, Rodarte’s interpretation was very princess-y. Lots of models got several feet of lush-looking extensions added to their hair, thanks to hairstylist Odile Gilbert’s tonged, soft S-waves .

He used NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Train Bleu and Audacious Lipstick in Liv. But the real star was lots of lip liner in the NARS Star Rockin’ shade. Using a repeatedly sharpened pencil, he traced the cupid’s bows so that the heart shape was extra-defined.

To create a symmetrical shape, he drew a horizontal line directly below the lower lip and then followed the lip shape upward to the edge. “It creates balance,” Kaliardos said. “Then you can tell where you’re going to meet at the corners. When you have a dark lip, it’s important to go to the full extent of your lip, or else you can look like Edward Scissorhands.
