Mark Fast SS14

Dark lips are still one of the biggest beauty trends to be seen in this season, and it doesn’t look set to be going anywhere soon.

The Mark Fast models sauntered down the runway at the Spring Summer 14 show wearing perfectly polished skin and a very dark lip. It was the perfect grunge lip to contrast the texture combinations created by the yarns and knits of the clothing.

bareMinerals sponsored the catwalk show and created the striking beauty look for the designer.

Make-up artist Sarah Jane Froom explains: “The inspiration was grunge punk meets ladylike gothic. Skin is kept simple and flawless, leaving bold lips to make a statement. Think Marilyn Manson meets a fresh face Courtney Love.”

The designer himself also commented on the beauty look: “SJ has a great enthusiasm and ambition to push the boundaries and create a look on my runway that has glamour and dark twist that I love to play with. The concept of bareMinerals inspired me because, like my dresses, it eventually strips down to the bare essentials.”

Get the beauty look now with these tips.

Lips are stained with deep plums and purple tones for a strong, intense look. Finish with a slick of gloss for high shine.

SJ’s pro tip

Tone down the catwalk trend for a wearable look day or night, and choose a shade that compliments your skin tone.

For pale skin tones opt for soft plums and pinky berry tones – something with a blue undertone is best

Deep pberry pinks look best on medium skin tones.

Dark skin tones can carry off a deep berry plum.
