Bold and Beautiful: How to Rock Dark Lipstick

Views: 3026

For many women, lipstick is something to dab on before heading out the door. But when you wear dark lipstick, it’s an accessory that deserves some extra attention. You want to make sure your lips look as beautiful as possible, so here are six tips for nailing this bold look:

Find a shade you love.

Finding the right shade is a matter of trial and error. Try on different colors, and don’t be afraid to experiment. If you’re not sure where to start, look for something that’s not too dark but also not too light–you’ll want something that complements your skin tone without looking out of place on it.

You should also consider whether or not you’re going to wear this lipstick alone or with another lip color underneath it (such as lipliner). If so, then finding a shade that looks good overtop others will be key; if not–or if this is just going on its own–it makes sense just to go with whatever color looks best against your natural hue (though keep in mind some shades may make lips appear darker than they are).

Consider what you’re pairing with the lipstick.

Now that you’ve chosen a dark lipstick, it’s time to think about what else you’re going to wear. If you want to go bold with your makeup and wear a dark lip, it’s important not to overwhelm the look with too much jewelry or other accessories. When pairing with a light eye and face, choose bold earrings and necklaces–but keep them small enough so as not to compete with your lips! For example: if I were wearing an emerald green eye shadow (my favorite), I might pair my outfit with some delicate silver hoop earrings instead of bigger ones that would draw attention away from my eyes (and thus become more prominent). On the other hand, if I were wearing pink blush on my cheeks instead of peach blush…then maybe I’d want bigger earrings after all!

Apply a tinted balm or gloss to your lips.

Before you apply lipstick, use a tinted balm or gloss to moisturize your lips and prevent feathering. The best way to do this is by applying the lip product first, then following up with your favorite lipstick shade. If you’re worried about bleeding or smudging, apply a clear balm or gloss over top of your dark lip color for added protection against both issues–and make sure it’s not too thick!

Layer your lip color with liner, as well as under-eye concealer.

You can also use a lip liner to help you achieve the perfect shape. A good lip liner will be long-lasting, so it will stay on your lips throughout the day and won’t fade when you eat or drink. This is especially important if you have dry or chapped lips, as this will make them look even worse!

If you want to create a more opaque look with your lipstick, try layering it with a lip pencil first before applying the actual color. This will give you an extra boost of colour that lasts longer than just wearing one product alone–and it’ll keep things looking fresh all day long!

If precision is key for achieving professional results when applying makeup (and trust us: it should be), then using an angled brush instead of just swiping directly onto our faces might come in handy here too! When used correctly with any type of liquid product like eye shadow or eyeliner etcetera…these tools allow us again greater control over where exactly those products go without wasting any excess product on things like cheeks which aren’t meant necessarily meant for highlighting purposes only .

Keep your skin looking fresh and dewy by applying powder foundation, concealer and setting powder.

• Powder foundation helps to absorb excess oil, making your skin look fresh and dewy.
• Concealer can be used to conceal any imperfections in your skin such as discoloration or blemishes. It’s important to use a shade that matches your natural skin tone so it looks like you’re not wearing any makeup at all!
• Setting powder locks down your makeup so that it stays put all day long! Use a large fluffy brush (like one from our Brush Set) for best results when applying this product around the perimeter of your face: forehead, nose and chin area where oils tend to accumulate most frequently during the day time hours as well as along any other areas where you may want extra coverage such as under eye area when applying liquid eyeliner or lip gloss over top of lipstick later on down line once everything else has dried completely first before doing so otherwise things could get messy very quickly.”

Dark lipstick is a bold look that can be tricky to pull off if you aren’t used to it. But once you find the right shades, products and application techniques, you’ll be making a statement with your lips like never before!

The right shades are important. Dark shades will make your teeth appear lighter and brighter in contrast, so select a shade that complements them (think reds and oranges). The most important thing is that they’re flattering on YOU–so experiment until you find something that works for YOU!

Conclusion

Whether you’re going for a bold lip or soft shade, it’s important to remember that your lipstick should always be an extension of your overall look. If you’re wearing bright colors or lots of jewelry, go for something neutral like pink or brown instead of black or deep purple. On the other hand, if you want to keep things simple with minimal makeup then go all out with darker colors! There are no rules here; just make sure whatever color choice makes sense for what kind of person you want others perceive yourself as being today.
