Songstress and constant source of beauty inspiration, Katy Perry gave us a very valuable lesson in the art of ‘Glunge’ on the Givenchy FROW in Paris. To refresh your memory, ‘Glunge’ is the term that best describes glamorous grunge – or how our Beauty Director Liz Hamleton puts it, ‘how the Real Housewives of Cheshire would want to do grunge’. Bold, beautiful, dark and oh-so wearable.
Pairing her black cat flick with a deep purple lip and slicked back hair, we think Katy was inspired by the Glunge make-up trend that we’ve spotted backstage at the shows, from Marc Jacobs to Giles to Emanuel Ungaro.
Glunge Make-up AW15
Ashley Williams AW15
The Jagger sisters rock a deep, oxblood, glossed lip at Ashley Williams.
Bottega Veneta AW15
How we want our wine-stained lips to look like at the end of the night.
Elie Saab AW15
Soft, smoky eyes made Glunge by bringing the powder underneath the lower lash line. Beautiful.
Giles AW15
One of our favourite make-up looks of the entire season - the Giles lip.
Marc Jacobs AW15
Topknot, check. Plum lips, check. Flawless skin, check.
Emanuel Ungaro AW15
We'd bet good money Katy took inspiration from this amazing Emanuel Ungaro lip.
