Lips haven’t really been the big story of the Spring shows thus far, as eyes—and
more often than not, contours and shadows—dominated the backstage scene in New
York. That continues to be the case in London, as a certain pared down, nineties
beauty mantra presided over Dion Lee, Peter Pilotto, and Christopher Kane this
morning (more on that in a bit). But a few mouth moments have still managed to
creep into a season that is usually littered with luxe lips, the better to play
with when the weather (and the collective mood) lightens up. Pat McGrath debuted
a perfect red at Anna Sui last week, and Michael van der Ham and Louise Gray
both called for coral at their respective shows today. But Andrew Gallimore did them all one better at Holly Fulton this
weekend, whipping up a two-tone mouth that’s prepped and primed for a little
summer fun. Lining pouts with MAC Lip Pencil in Embrace Me, a hot magenta,
Gallimore concocted a creamy, custom pink pigment with a blend of its Lipmix in
Fuchsia and White, which he used to bolster the outline before applying a few
brushstrokes of its Lipmix in Orange to the center. It’s cute and a little
kitschy, and it definitely managed to jar us out of our minimalism-inspired
complacency, for the time being at least. Would you wear it?
