When you’re blessed with a face like Ruby Rose’s, taking a seemingly risky beauty trend and making it look surprisingly wearable just comes with the territory. And her latest effort has to be one of our favourites.

Stepping onto the red carpet of The People’s Choice Awards, Rose paired an orange ensemble with an almost-black lipstick, putting a 2017 spin on what had to be last year’s breakout beauty trend.

How did she do it? Rather than going down the goth route with matte skin and tawny contouring, Rose paired her deep plum pout with fresh skin, hits of highlighter and barely-there taupe eye shadow. Oh yeah, and that face. Below are five variations of the dark lipstick trend worth trying.
