Another day, another bold lip—this time at Prada. What do you think of this one, which is glossy and red—as opposed to <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2009/09/17/first-look-matte-lips-matte-skin-and-a-great-big-bow-at-marc-by-marc-jacobs/" target="_blank">matte and fuchsia</a>? Would you wear it? Are you bored yet? Were you reading this blog a minute ago but not anymore?

You know I love the whole contrast aspect of the way designers are playing this lip thing (i.e. with the otherwise bare face). It's like the beauty equivalent of the fashion hi-low: the Chanel with the H&amp;M, the Miu Miu with the Zara... except in beauty, NOBODY CAN TELL which brand you're wearing. (Unless, of course, you pull your lip gloss out of your handbag for a touch-up.)

(Unfortunately, I can't help you on the pigtails or—ugh—yet another example of bleached-out brows. I can, however, offer up a good deep conditioning masque, which this gal looks like she needs: <a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P93511" target="_blank">Ojon's Restorative Hair Treatment</a> would work wonders on this mop top.) <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/lorealparis_infalliblelipgloss.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3719" title="lorealparis_infalliblelipgloss" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/lorealparis_infalliblelipgloss.jpg" alt="lorealparis_infalliblelipgloss" width="243" height="400" /></a>Back to the lips: <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2009/06/29/editors-pick-revolution-organics/" target="_blank">Revolution Organics</a> makes a beauty of a gloss called Freedom Gloss, and my favourite shade, Freedom, would give you a toned-down version of this look. For the more budget-minded, there's <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2009/09/11/for-days-when-you-want-to-channel-heather-graham/" target="_blank">L'Oréal Paris Infallible Never Fail Plumping Lip Gloss</a>, which is actually even more pigmented—quite a feat at the $13.95 price point.
