Dark lipsticks are the always in trend and it is something that takes one for the team. Which means if you are really bored and don’t want to wear too much makeup or simply aren’t that good with the rest of the makeup, dark coloured lipsticks in interesting colours should be your best friend. A stroke of good dark-coloured lipstick and you are done, even better if it a liquid lipstick that stays on your lips for the whole day. I would always suggest liquid lipsticks to people because there are almost no chances of smudging a liquid lipstick for a good 8-9 hours. So if you wish to carry the dark lipstick look, here are a few things you might want to keep in mind:
1. Don’t go overboard with your eye makeup. If you are planning wear a dark shade of lipstick you might want to keep the rest of your makeup, especially your eye makeup minimal.
2. Don’t forget to highlight your cheekbones. While the whole attention will go to your lips, your face might not look defined and roundish if you don’t highlight your cheekbones.
3. Avoid powder highlighter and go for liquid one instead. To maintain the sheen in on your face to complement the dark lipstick you might want to choose liquid highlighter over the powder one. It will give your face a nice balance-out look.
4. Do not contour too much. If you are planning to wear a dark shade of lipsticks, avoid heavy contouring as much as possible. However, you can contour your neck and upper chest area.
5. While I would discourage extremely dramatic eye makeup while you are planning to wear dark lipsticks, fake eyelashes minus the dramatic eye makeup, however, will enhance your look.
