Lipstick Colors -- Am I behind the times?

[RoughCollie]

Today I spent time with a professional woman (Ph.D.) who was wearing a medium grey business suit, black pumps and ............. medium gray lipstick!

She is in her early 60s.

I didn't say anything, of course, but my eyes probably bugged right out of my head momentarily as I thought at first that it was Halloween makeup, then realized that didn't make sense.

Is this a new fashion? Or is this lady either misguided or just plain weird? Or maybe I am just out of the fashion loop 100%?

I can't imagine that being the fashion.....it sounds awful, LOL!

She scared me for a minute -- she looked like the Grim Reaper in a business suit.

I am so not a fashion-conscious gal. I wear whatever i want whether it's behind the times or not.

I like Maybelline E215 Midnight Red. Looks great w/ my mask :D

Eeew. I can't imagine resembling a cadaver is a bandwagon I'll jump on either.

orangey lipsticks are "it" for spring color. Not that I will be purchasing any orange lipsticks, I will stick to the pink shades that flatter my skin.

Grey lipstick is just weird, and certainly couldn't be flattering on anyone living.

By the way, I don't particularly follow fashion trends of any type, but I still have a Redbook subscription from years back, and I do like to at least LOOK at what's in style, so I know what I'm not following! :p

Um, just double-checked at MAC, Laura Mercier and YSL to get a well-rounded picture of "in" and grey lipstick wasn't there:D. Thank goodness! And, even if it had been the "in thing" I certainly would have skipped that trend:eek:

[Sparkle]

Ewww! That sounds hideous. Maybe she had some weird form of colorblindness :p

[BeachGirl]

Perhaps she reached in her purse and accidentally grabbed her concealer instead of her lipstick and didn't notice? Otherwise, that sounds scary!

yikes!! :eek:

Being a brunette, it's nothing but red for me!

I'd say cut her some slack--she probably grabbed the eyeshadow tube to wear on her lips:p I say this b/c I've put makeup on in complete darkness and looked like The Cadaver!
Hopefully it will wear off before she sees a mirror :)

I didn't know that eyeshadow comes in tubes.

So, you haven't seen the new gray Chapstick?

Actually grey and black lipstick IS in fashion in goth circles :)

[RoughCollie]

The lipstick was grey. And to add to it, I could swear I saw some remnants of *black* lipliner around her lips.
