Wear Dark Lipstick Like Celebrities!

Dark lipsticks are a new trend these days. We can see various celebrities wearing dark red lips at several events and functions. Women often feel hesitant in carrying dark lips. Wearing a dark lipstick is nothing different nor new. All you need to know are few tricks that can help you get the desired look and feel.

If you are wearing a dark lipstick, make sure it matches with your clothes and blends well with your skin tone. For example, if you are dark then a wine red lipstick may not look great on your complexion. Also decide whether you want to wear a matte or glossy dark lipstick. Depending on your personal choice and outfit, pick up the required lipstick. For example, if you are wearing a shimmer blue gown, avoid glossy lips. Dark matte lipstick will go well with bright and shiny outfits.

You must outline your lips with a dark matching lip liner to complete the look. It adds a special effect and shape to your lips. One golden makeup tip to carry a dark lipstick is, prefer neutral or minimal makeup. However, many celebrities have broken this makeup tip and tried loud makeup with dark lips. If you too wish to carry dark lips and wear makeup, then give emphasis on eye makeup. Leave your cheeks plain but work on the eyes. Take a look at how celebrities carry the dark lipstick with style and elegance.
