Pat McGrath painted models’ lips to look like Dorothy’s ruby slippers at the Atelier Versace show, but let’s be brutally honest with ourselves – for mere civilians, this is a look that really works only on Halloween. Start with a nude lipstick or liner, add your flashy glitter with a little brush (or even a sparkly eyeshadow for a slightly more muted effect) then layer with gloss. Most importantly – eat first.
