For their fall show, Imitation of Christ had a special lipstick blended up to put on all the models. It was a deep, dark purple that even looked black on some of the girls. People went crazy for it. And for a good reason. It looked striking coming down the pale runway on the pale models. It was also an original spot in a mostly uninspired fall show. Now, Elle.com reported that the custom shade will be available through Smashbox cosmetics for a limited time only. Why? Have we learned nothing from Proenza Pink (which was far, more wearable, but still hard to pull off)? The runways will always provide great inspiration for style, but much like some of the clothes shown, some of the makeup won’t always translate smoothly to real life. Maybe I’m missing something. I can’t think of any occasion that doesn’t involve trick-or-treating that this lipstick would be suited for. I never understood the Goth trend in high school and I still don’t get it now. For those of you who like the bruised lips look, it’s available at smashbox.com for $22.

I think I may scare my 3 year old nephew if I wore this shade :). Looks great on the model.
