There are red lips, and then there are red lips. For a lesson in the latter, look to Irina Shayk, who turned heads on the streets of New York City last night with a high-shine crimson lip (courtesy of Pat McGrath Labs LuxeTrance Lipstick in warm red McGrath Muse) perfectly matched to her silky slip dress. A slicked-back bun meant that Shayk s makeup was afforded full focus, with Shayk s perfectly painted pout teaming with golden lids and a luminous complexion to complete her classically glamorous guise.
And while the radiant moment—augmented by diamonds that glinted from the models s ears and neck—would have induced whiplash in onlookers even if paired with a covered-up coat, Shayk opted for a more skin-centric look, her red dress featuring a duo of slits that reached toward her hips and highlighted her glowing limbs. A barely-there sandal and naked pedicure offered further legs-for-days extension, the overall look serving as a reminder that some beauty notes are classics for a reason. When in doubt this holiday season, make like Shayk and up the ante on these tried-and-true cues.
