Dark Lipstick: An Evergreen Must-Have for fall

If once upon a time dark lipstick was associated with a gothic, dramatic, and often non-wearable makeup style for all, now it can be seamlessly integrated into your look, appearing elegant, sophisticated, and entirely wearable. Runways and red carpets worldwide introduce us to new ways to pair dark lipstick and new application techniques. Join us as we explore how to match it with every beauty look and complexion:

To ensure your look is flawless, it's essential to pay close attention to the application of dark lipstick. If you prefer a perfect look, make sure to prep your lips properly by using a lip scrub and applying a good lip balm. This will allow for a smooth application of the product, especially if you desire a super matte effect. Don't forget to define the edges with a lip pencil in the same shade as the lipstick. This will help the product last longer and prevent any smudging.

If you want to follow current trends with "vampy lips" or "cherry cola lips," concentrate the application of the lipstick in the center of your lips and gently pat the product with your fingers. Then, apply a lip pencil a shade or two darker than the previously applied lipstick and give it a super glossy finish with a mirror-like lip gloss.

For a perfect application of both liquid and stick lipstick, you can use a lip brush. Finally, clean up the edges with the same concealer you used on your face, using a small precision brush (preferably angled for eyeliner or flat for eyeshadow).
