It's an unexpected-and fun-time of the year to try a darker lip colour.They give you a glamorous Diva look no one can ignore.Here's how to pull off a high-impact pout.
STEP 1-PRIME TIME.
Darker shades exaggerate little lines and flakes, so before you apply any colour, prep your pout with a scrub and moisturing lip balmor primer.Results last longer on a smoother surface.
STEP 2-SHADE SELECTION.
The general rule is that blue-based shades (like classic reds) compliment people with fair skin tones, while orange-based shades (like browns and bricks) compiment people with darker skin tone.You can always start with a darker version of your current lipsticks, but try lots of shades such as plums.
STEP 3-USING A LIPLINER.
Before applying lipstick, line and fill in your lips with a nude pencil or one that matches your selected shade.Avoid anything darker as it could fade unevenly.Dark lips can make the mouth look smaller.I line along the lips outer edge to enhance their shape and prevent colour bleeding.For a retro, matte(dim without a shine) finish, try wearing a coloured liner on it's own, or topped with lip balm for moisture.
STEP 4-USING A LIPSTAIN.
You can always deepen the shade by layering with a lipstain.The key to dark lips is to ensure that the colour isn't wearing you.Stay in your comfort zone and have fun.
