Oscars 2015 - Statement or Natural Lip?

The Oscars Red Carpet was it's usual dazzlingly self, with some of the most talented and gorgeous starlets strutting their stuff in haute couture, bling and immaculate makeup.

The internet is awash with Oscars trends, from high collared gowns to statement necklaces.  From centre parts to the colour blush making a comeback.  Makeup wise, there wasn't one dominant trend, but an even split between two classics.

Yes it was the battle of the lips - statement vs naturals.

 
 

In the statement corner we have wine hues, just bitten berries and muted reds.  In the natural corner we have barely-there pinks and perfect nudes.  Whatever lip look these gorgeous ladies were rocking, they kept their eye makeup relatively simple - there were no heavy eye looks, more classic winged eyeliner a la Angelina or Margot or brown palettes were the flavour of the night.  The gowns were the showstoppers - the makeup seemed to be the supporting act.

But which trend will you be following on your next big night out?

Which Oscar's lip trend do you like best?

I am more of a natural person but admire the loud and proud

I love nude/natural for everyday wear and bold statement lips for events or dress up days :) Of course no hard and fast rule though, just go with what makes the wearer happy.

Yep loud and proud , the Oscars isn't the time for natural makeup! The glammer the better!!!!

24th February, 2015

It's the Oscars, of course statement lips are required.

I have to say I'm going to sit on the fence with this one! I love the nude on Angelina Jolie, but the other 'statement' lippie looks stunning!!

24th February, 2015

Both are nice, but I will go with the bright lips.

24th February, 2015

Loud and proud! As someone who is disapointed in lippys that aren't bright and eyecatching what else could I pick?

24th February, 2015

I think that both are so beautiful! However, if you can't rock a bold lip at the Oscars, when can you? ;)

24th February, 2015

I'll go with the perfect nudes any time - I've always liked Angelina's style too.

24th February, 2015

I like the idea of statement lips. But then I get ready and find I've done quite heavy eye makeup, so nude lips it is! Plus I can never keep statement lips maintained on a night out.

Don't get me wrong I love both but on special events the dress should always scream "centre of attention" whereas semi formal or casual should be a lippie statement.

24th February, 2015

A statement lippy got sure:)

Always, always, always loud and proud for me. Natural is gorgeous but statement is my favorite every time
