Beauty can be two things: trendy or undefined. And at times, both. Throughout the past week, makeup looks spanning the decades transcended trends all together. Meanwhile, a single hair trend couldn’t even be pinned down.
For example, the red lip is a makeup choice proven to be the most timeless beauty look. Just look at Doja Cat and Tracee Ellis Ross. Doja paired hers with an overgrown Grace Jones-esque high top and deep-set French tips, and Ross opted for a slightly brighter red nail and slicked back bun.
While lips turned rouge, hair went rogue with trends difficult to define. Solange, seen in sopping wet tresses this week, creative directed a birthday shoot for Ari Lennox. Her bumped-end wig went with a pink, jewel-tipped manicure. To end the week, Erykah Badu attended the Billboard Music Awards in a critique on BBL culture. In other words, she rocked a body augmentation suit, red lip, and intentionally messy wing as she took home the Icon Award.
