The L'officiel Paris 'Les Tendances D'automne' editorial showcases dark shades for fall. Fall editorials have been decidedly dark this year, and this piece for L'officiel Paris's September 2012 issue is no exception. It is evident that the look for fall is one of a perfectly matte complexion mixed with a bold dark lip that is lavishly opulent. The more tame version seen in this piece shows a starkly simplistic smoky eye paired with a nude lip as it makes it comeback.
The cover story, however, is highly decadent as it spares no expense in going fully dark. Les Tendances D'automne features the dually bold nearly black lip with heavy eye makeup again porcelain skin.
