Lancome is proving that black lipstick is a beauty must-have for the fall season. Flip through fashion magazines, and you'll notice that there are a lot of really dark, sometimes completely black, lips.
It looks great on the set or the runway, but put black on in real life, and you're going to look goth.
Lancome created the set with Aaron De Mey, the company's new artistic director.
Implications - The look is at its most jaw dropping when used by someone with jet-black hair and fair skin. Just imagine yourself running into someone like that in a dark alleyway. I would totally believe in an afterlife after such a ghostly encounter.
