For those who dare to rock runway trends in real life, the next big thing is futuristic makeup—which takes gray and silver to the extreme for a galactic sophisticate look. Silver lipstick stole the show at the Doo.ri Spring 2010 fashion show and looks brave with the season's gray-tinged lilacs for nails. You can make the look your own by lining your lips with a silver eyeliner pencil in lieu of lip liner or skipping liner altogether and slicking on the silver color with a precision lip brush. Try on silver makeup in our virtual makeover studio.
To prevent silver lips from looking too Tinman from the Wizard of Oz—like they’re in need of some good lube—paint on some high sheen lip gloss. This will minimize creases and wrinkles in the lips, which silver and gray tones tend to emphasize. Pair silver lipstick with smoky eyes in classic shades of black, navy or charcoal. Forgo the little black dress for a shot of color to prevent yourself from looking washed out.
If you don't dare wear silver lipstick, you can still achieve a futuristic makeup look by wearing smoldering silver shadows in varying tones and finishing your lids with a flurry of fluttering false lashes.
