I've noticed a trend of blue lipstick and I took to the internet. Where did it start, and is it something that is going to gain popularity? Is it high fashion, or hypothermia?
During Louis Vuitton's spring fashion show of 2008 (6 years ago), he went quite "smurfy" (words of Marie Claire). With blue lipstick and many blue outfits. The funny thing about fashion shows, many people sit back and mock the wacky and outlandish looks that grace the runways but soon the mockers are expressing the same trends. Done down of course, but the trend is still expressed.
Two years following Ke$ha with her other eccentric looks was sporting blue body paint on her lips, and Rhiannon was pairing blue lips with her edgy fashion. Not many people seemed to enjoy the look at first. It was something that didn't appeal to anyone. I suppose looking like you had fallen off the Titanic wasn't a look everyone was digging. But. However, New York during fashion week (last year), showing off the latest spring fashions. With you guessed it blue (and orange) lips. Huh. So the blue lips where back. Cosmetic companies took this idea by storm. Blue lips. How fun! People like red, plum, and other stand out colors. Was blue really all that far away from that?
I suppose not! Some of the popular brands selling these blue lipsticks? OCC came out with a Matte blue liptar. NYX Cosmetics came out with a lighter blue lipstick in ther Macaroon line, and of course Lime Crime has a blue lipstick. This trend took a bit to find it's self in my heart. I thought like most it was odd. But I've always been one for a flashy lip. So I gave in, I ordered a blue lipstick.
So. If you're like me and are pondering on buying a blue lipstick, or maybe you have one hiding out in your drawer and you don't want to tell your friends about it in fear of appearing foolish. Remember some of the highest fashion models, and our favorite actresses, musicians, and artists are sporting these blue lips. Might warn your friends, so they don't think you're dying.
