dark and glossy
The glossy lip is back. After being dormant for almost two decades (blame the ’90s) its revival is a welcome reprise from the matte movement. A glossed-up lip elevates your look, adding instant cool girl cred. It also brings three-dimensionality to your lip; a sticky glaze shows off every curve and every angle (bigger lips? Yes please). As for its hue? Take a walk on the dark side – embrace the dark lip trend with glossy glee and slick away with an inky blood plum. This is all about full intensity and full colour, not a sheered-out stain look. An intensely pigmented gloss, this is not for the beauty faint-hearted.

slippery roads ahead
To get both depth and darkness, your gloss should be backed by a rich lipstick. Slick Tom Ford Black Dahlia across top and bottom lip, and wait a few seconds to dry. This is all about full coverage, so its application is imperative. Rubbing and pressing the lips together is the best way to achieve this, so lips are fully coated in Black Dahlia, then go in for the glossy kill. Sweep Orchid Fatale lacquer across for a supremely super-soaker finish. With slick turns, this is the new way to go dark.
