Lipstick in Purple 590P, £11 by Ruby & Millie . Pigment in Copper Sparkle, £14.68 by Mac
This dark lipstick is just the right shade to channel the grunge vibe, blend it on to lips with your finger for effortless cool. If you want to glam it up look to Topshop Unique’s show and add some bronze shimmer to your lips. Blot this pigment over lipstick or line some under your lids with a wet brush for an instant metallic effect.

Browzings, £21.50 by Benefit
Heavy, slightly unkempt brows are key to this trend. Don’t stop tweezing altogether, but use this kit to get your brows a shade or two darker and brush them up so they get noticed.
Benefit
Grunge may not be on your beauty radar right now, but start practising because it will be a huge trend come autumn. London Fashion Week championed the look with Ann-Sofie Back , Charles Anastase , Topshop Unique and even Julien Macdonald sending models down the catwalk rocking this tough look. Bed hair, braids, dark metallic lips, rusty eyeliner and brushed-up brows are all key elements of the look, but anything that gives you a dirty rocker look will work – think Courtney Love circa 1990 and you get the picture.
