I’ve a concept that we’re subconsciously drawn to the developments and tastes of the period we had been born into. For instance, I freakin’ love yacht rock, and it simply so occurs I used to be born proper when The Doobie Brothers’ “What a Idiot Believes” was topping the charts. Coincidence? I sincerely suppose not. And it’d clarify why Selena Gomez, born in 1992—the identical 12 months this Los Angeles Times article got here out noting a selected new make-up pattern—was drawn to the darker-lip-liner/lighter lipstick look.
Whereas we actually have not seen Gomez put on her lipstick this fashion earlier than, she pulled it off so completely on the IndieWire Honors (the place she acquired the Highlight Award for her efficiency in Emilia Pérez) that it really looks as if she was born to pair high-contrast lip colours. Unsurprisingly, being the make-up mogul that she is, Gomez’s tackle the look adheres carefully to the ombré evolution of the trend, with a superbly blurry mixing between the outer and internal shades.
