Matchy matchy -The matching lip and tip

As beauty trends go, this spring summer the matching lip and tips is big news. At Jason Wu Spring 2012, MAC makeup artist Diane Kendal painted models' lips a bright coral lip and then matched their nails with an identical shade of lacquer. At the Donna Karan show, Charlotte Tilbury, another MAC makeup artist, painted models' lips a chocolate burgundy lip that matched their Deborah Lippmann cocoa manicures.
