After switching from her signature brunette to platinum blonde hair in 2019, there are two things we know for sure about Rose Byrne. 1) She doesn’t shy away from a beauty switch-up and 2) there is no look she couldn’t pull off.

But as adventurous as she may be, everyone does have their limit — and Rose’s comes in the form of a certain iconic 90s look.

Speaking to Violet Grey, Rose revealed that despite growing up with a mum who didn’t wear much makeup, she still believes, “it doesn’t hurt to put on a bit of lipstick”.
That is of course, as long as the lipstick isn’t Rose’s dreaded shade of brown. And while it’s a trend that has heavily resurfaced in recent years, Rose divulges she won’t be following suit; “the ‘90s may be back, but I’m still recovering from that look”.
However, talk to her about lip stains and it’s an entirely different story, “I wear them religiously, they are terrific in a berry colour”.

Are there any beauty trends you refuse to try? If so, which ones?
I actually don’t mind brown lipstick!
I agree. Brown lipstick is very hard to get right. The tone suits few people.
omg same. No brown or any shade of brown “nude” lipstick will go on my lips.
Brow trends, never. Bronzers, never. Hair layering, never.
I don’t think I’ve ever tried… Always difficult to find the right shade of any colour anyway for me. So many nudes make me so washed out. And gotta be super careful with pinks and reds. And I could never wear orange. Haha! Doesn’t leave much!
I love her! I think you’d have to be careful to pick the right shade of brown, I’m sure there’s one to suit everybody!
Nope don’t care for nude or brown lipstick. It suits some people…and I’m sure it would suit me too, but I prefer bright shades.
I don’t do brown, orange or red lipstick.
brown yuckt
Nude lips – NEVER, NEVER, NEVER! I don’t think it looks good on anyone & with my fair complexion, it would make me look like a cadaver.
Orangey shades don’t look good on many people, a slightly pink nude is o.k on me.
I am happy to try most things as far as makeup is concerned. My beauty no no and never…no way…..well thats botox and anything that includes needles.
Good for her
Dark shades of lipstick don’t suit me either.
Yeah brown lippy is a bit harsh. I’d rather go a brick shade or browny pink. Gosh there are so many trends I’d never do. I’d never over pluck my brows again. I cringe at the sight of some of my high school picks. My poor brows hehehe
Yup, brown lipstick looks so aging on me. And I lived through it the first time so it also has a major cringe factor.
So many 90’s trends were good for the time, but probably shouldn’t resurface today. For me personally I wouldn’t go back to plucking my eyebrows pencil thin- I’ve been growing them back ever since!
She looks much better with the brunette hair, the blond doesn’t cut it for her
Brown or orange lipstick is a no go, and nude is just a wash out so I stay clear of them. I don’t follow trends – I just do what suits me.
Orange lipstick belongs on Ita Buttrose and no one else!
Completely agree!!!
I don’t do fake eyelashes, just can’t …..
Not keen on a brown lipstick myself
I’m also not a fan of brown lipstick, but my mate who has olive skin tone brown lippie looks divine on her.
She must have a good hair colorist to get her blonde just the right shade. She did look gorgeous as a brunette!
I feel like if anyone can pull off a brown lippie its Rose. She was able to pull off both blonde and brunette hair effortlessly.
Nah brown lippie doesn’t match my pink skin lol
I cant wear brown lipstick either for me its a nude lipgloss .
Depends on the shade of brown – brown red is nice (brick?) – brown as a softener for pink works nicely.
Can’t do nude, brown or orange colours – I’m too cool-toned & fair for all of them. I prefer shades of pink or red. I can wear a berry or a plum shade, provided neither of them are too dark. I’d also never go blonde in hair colour either as it’d wash me out, nor would I ever wear bronzer or do fake tan.
I was gifted a lipstick in a brown shade. Wasn’t sure if I could pull it off but it settled into a dark nude that complimented my skin. I have medium skin tone.
I agree I wouldnt want to wear that color ethier.
I think only some people can actually wear the shade brown and pull it off.. Hence they look AMAZING! While everyone else that tries it just look.. Meh..
Personally I prefer colours closer to my natural tones.
I agree, brown lipstick is rarely a good look on anyone.
I will never buy a neutral palette. Every colour palette I own has several neutrals so when you add them all up I have an obscene amount of shadow I feel no compulsion to wear.
I don’t think I could go back to the darker lip liner than your lipstick trend, and really, I find it impossible to buy normal lipsticks now. They have to be colorstay or I just won’t wear it.
Rose is such a great actress.

I can only wear lip gloss, lol!
I wore brown in the 90’s. Not now.
