Nov 27 Fashion Magazine: How to wear black lipstick IRL

Fashion Magazine Beauty Panel Challenge 105

Dark plum and deep burgundy lipsticks are always fall makeup essentials, but recently, the must-have lip is just a bit darker. Black lipstick is now an edgier option to add to your fall collection. If you are thinking about trying the dark lip trend, here are a few tips to keep in mind.

Prep your lips by exfoliating and hydrating to help get rid of any dryness that might stand out once your lipstick is applied. Line your lips with a dark lip liner; plum or deep red work if you don’t have black. This will give you the right base to start with. Set and layer; apply a thin layer of lipstick, then lightly dust a translucent powder over the lipstick to help hold the colour in place. After setting, lightly apply one more layer and you are ready to go. For the rest of your makeup, keep it simple. Whenever I do a dark lip, I let that be the focus and keep the rest of my makeup very minimal.
