A few days ago, I was being interviewed for an industry event, and I found myself saying the following words: "It sounds silly for a beauty editor to say, but I hate beauty trends." And it's true—I don't follow the latest hair trends (I've sported the same balayage look for over a decade), I reject nail trends and stick to my signature sheer polish, and as for make-up trends? I laugh in the face of them. Or, I thought I did until Kaia Gerber's latest brown-lipstick make-up look stopped me in my tracks on Instagram last week.
You see, it takes an awful lot for me to show interest in a make-up trend. I don't wear a huge amount of the stuff, and I'm impossibly lazy—I want my make-up looks to be as undetectable and low fuss and possible. But when I saw one of my favourite make-up artists, Nina Park, post her latest creation on Kaia Gerber a few days ago, I was in awe. The bronzed, brown-hued look is basically all of my make-up dreams come true—a matte smokey eye, a freckled, sun-kissed nose and soft, fluffy brows. The thing that stood out most to me, however, was the nineties-esque, heavily lined, brown, shimmery lip.
