The killer question: How to wear dark red lipstick?
updated the 6 October 2015 à 23:16
Are you dreaming of the day you can pull off purplish dark red lips? Dream no more. Check out our guide below!
This season, be bold and go out with dark, striking lips! Trade your usual nude or red lipstick for sultry purple, oxbloods or plums. If this is new to you, consider opting for a darker shade of your current lipstick. The trick is to outline your lips before applying anything so you have perfectly shaped lips and a creaseless finish.
Pair dark lips with:
– Black mascara and nicely curled lashes
– Nude/ natural makeup
– Copper or gold smokey eyes
– A flawless complexion with the help of a full-cover concealer
– A rather thin eyeliner
To avoid at all costs:
– The combination of thick eyebrows with false lashes
– Extra defined contouring
– The all-black-everything look (nails, smokey eyes, eyebrows, clothes)
– A cakey complexion that would result in a gothic look
– Using too many concealers at once
