How to Pull Off Dark Lipstick Like a Pro

How to wear dark lipstick is the question whose answer every woman wants to know. Because hey, that’s dark lipstick ( plum, berry, brick and brown) we’re talking about – super sexy, super edgy, super chic yet, super difficult to incorporate in most non-red carpet looks. Well, let’s discuss some tips for wearing dark lipstick that really can be helpful for you now that fall is about to come.

The most important of all of the tips on how to wear dark lipstick is to choose a shade that works best for your skin tone. As with any makeup color, your complexion determines what will look good on you. If you know you look better in cool shades, opt for a blue-based, berry color. If your complexion is warm, choose a hue that veers toward brown.

A dark lip speaks for itself, so wear minimal makeup on your eyes and cheeks. Opt for sexy, nicely lined cat eyes, or give a natural looking smoky eye a try.

One of the things most of us usually associate with a dark, vamp look is velvety flawless skin. When you have bold lipstick on, you kind of want to keep the rest of your face neutral and shine-free, because it gives the whole look a more refined note.

The best way to put on dark lipstick is with a lip brush. because dark shade can get messy quickly — so you want to be sure you’re precisely putting it on. Just like a lip brush, lip liner is an absolute must with dark lips. To keep your lipstick from bleeding, it’s a smart idea to apply a lip liner. But be careful; don’t let your lip liner or lipstick end up anywhere else on your face or further than your lip line.

A dark lip is a statement and a strong one at that, so my advice is to wear it like you’re going to own the room because everyone will be looking at you.
