<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2009/12/31/top-10-beauty-trends-of-the-00s/" target="_blank">As I noted a few posts back</a>, lip gloss really had its day in the '00s—and shows no sign that it's going out of style any time soon. But sometimes it's nice to remember our old friend lipstick, especially lipstick that's not red. (Doesn't it seem like it's either one or the other—clear gloss or bright red lipstick?)

It doesn't have to be that way, as <em>House</em> star <strong>Olivia Wilde </strong>so elegantly reminded us last night. I am going gaga over this not-quite-red but not-quite-pink colour. It reminds me of a shade M.A.C used to make (maybe they still do?) called Strawberry Blonde. Time to dig that up out of the archives. It pairs beautifully with this simple makeup.
