Petal Lips

Recently on Vogue I saw an article on lip trends for this Autumn/Winter. Now I am a b i g fan of lip products. When I saw their predicted trends I was instantly attracted. One of the key trends they mentioned was the 'petal lip'. It gives a beautiful disheveled look to lips, the deliberate bleeding of one lipstick into another beautifully colouring the lips. They had a range of shades from pink to deep red.
I decided to see if I could recreate a 'petal lip'.

Lipsticks used: MAC Please me, MAC Rebel

Here I've used a matte pink with a deep pink/purple inside bleeding into the pink. First I applied the pink then used a lip brush and applied to the inside of the lips and dabbing into some of the outer lip creases. I love this look!

One thing I didn't see on the Vogue website was an orange lip version. I love the look of orange leaves in Autumn and by using several MAC shades I managed to create a gorgeous torn leaf affect also. Definitely have a mess around with colours. The orange and deep red lip look would look amazing with a gold eye - very autumn chic!

I will definitely be recreating this lip again, thank you Vogue!
