When Jasmin Malik Chua of the hot, new Eco Fashion and Beauty blog, Ecouterre asked us about our favorite NYFW inspired lip looks, we were all too axcited to divulge. Read the brilliant tips offered by makeup artist Jessa Blades and others HERE and find the rest of ours HERE!

We love that lips are back for Spring 2010 and we are ready for these looks now!– whether they’re soft and barely-there pink or Grace Jones black. We were getting very bored with the nude lip!

Jason Wu wowed with these perfect, painted-on, goth, plum colored cartoon lips that we think could translate beautifully into real world beauty with defined, lustrous, rich, dark lip colors for Fall. Instead of almost-black, sheer but dark burgundy colors like RMS Beauty’s Illusive, can work on all skin tones. The key to this look is perfect application. Use a lip brush to get it just right and avoid looking like a zombie.

Marc by Marc Jacobs celebrated with super bright, optimistic, retro red lips which we think anyone can wear. The key to bright lips is to go really low-key with the rest of the face palette and to even out the skin with a matte mineral powder foundation so that the lips really pop. Alima Pure Satin Matte Foundation and Nvey Eco’s Lead-Free moisturizing lipstick in 369 are perfect for this Mad Men look.

Finally, our friends at Tuleh created this pretty 1950’s shimmery soft pink. Beauty can be sort of counter-intuitive in that dark and bright lips are actually best for day and soft, sultry, light pink lips are actually best for a kittenish evening look. To get this look, start with RMS Beauty in Muse or Smile for a sexy, opaque base then layer Nvey Eco’s Lip Lustre in Amour Rose or Barely There over the top for the pink shimmer. The secret to this look is the base. You don’t want bubble-gum pink and pink lip gloss can look too immature without the base.
