All About The Lips

Moncler Gamme Bleu Spring 2014

Makeup for men has always been considered taboo in our restrictive society. For years aesthetically inclined males have been forced to hide their makeup experimentation or face judgement and questioning remarks. Fortunately, thanks to a group of fashion-forward men who desire to make the world a more beautiful place, men can proudly wave their bronzers and concealers high up in the air. Some men who dare to go even further can also wave their lipsticks tubes high up as well. As evidenced by the Spring/Summer 2014 menswear shows, lipstick is no longer just for the girls. This isn't the first time we've seen male models sporting a colored lip down the runway but in the past these colors have tended to be very light, and almost negligible. Gone are the pastel blues and muted yellow lips and in are bright lips in what can be called "hooker red." Thom Browne and Saint Laurent both sent out models wearing bright red lips. For the Moncler Gamme Bleu show, Thom Browne decided to go in a different direction with a black lip on every model. Here's hoping more guys drop their boring old Chapstick and pick up something brighter and bolder.
