Lipcolor continues to be the big news at the fall collections. Yesterday, J. Crew’s eclectic juxtaposition of prints and textures was perfectly offset by luminous skin and a dramatic streak of deep, fuchsia-inflected red.
This was without question my favorite makeup look of the week. With noticeable lips like these, a well-groomed brow and a light dusting of pearlescent sheen on the skin are all you need to balance the look – anything more would be redundant. A lipcolor this intense is not for the timid, but for any woman who wants to make a statement, there’s a good chance that Icon Velvet Creme Lipstick from Hourglass will be your new go-to color come fall. $30.

Thanks to my sister, Stefanie, who turned me onto ICON by Hourglass. I have been wearing this lipstick for years. I prefer to wear it dark so it looks like a rich cranberry color or you can go light and take some off with your finger to give it a really light matte berry look. I am obsessed with the smokey eye look even for daytime but this lipcolor forced me to go light on my eyes. It is such a great lipstick that you need barely anything else on your face. ICON is really all you need. Each time I wear ICON people always compliment me. I have very dark curly hair and this color just makes my look. I can’t count the number of times I wrote down this brand name and color for someone. It is a must have. Thanks Helene!
