Fuchsia Fun

So we’ve done corals, berry and pastel shades but if you’re still not happy with lip colours (aren’t we a picky lot) then perhaps this next lip look is for you. Yes, nifty ladies, it’s time to think pink. And we’re talking pink pink, not baby pink, not pastel pink, but a fuchsia pink. On the catwalk models at Marc Jacobs had lips so bright they’d light up a dark room – a look you can, of course, copy (see Lady Gaga). But this colour is also great toned down a few shades. Maggie Gyllenhaal went for this shade at the Golden Globes.

The Golden Globes

Where’s Björk when you need her? No worries, Mariah seems on course to fill the what-was-she-thinking? category at this year’s award shows. Admittedly she wasn’t wearing a swan dress, more’s the pity. But she did pitch up at last night’s Golden Globes in a dress that was more suited to a Snoop Dogg video.

Course, award shows were more fun when people turned up wearing funny outfits. But now, most stars use a team of experts to help avoid worst-dressed lists.
