I’ve a concept that we’re subconsciously drawn to the traits 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 would clarify why Selena Gomez, born in 1992—the identical yr this Los Angeles Instances article got here out noting a specific 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 manner earlier than, she pulled it off so completely on the IndieWire Honors (the place she obtained 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 intently to the ombré evolution of the pattern, with a fantastically blurry mixing between the outer and internal shades.
