So that your wish of dark lipstick goes absolutely right from next time on, here are tips to count. These tips for dark lipstick will ensure that your lips look and appear graceful with minimum to-dos when you wear dark lipstick, next time.

A list of tips and tricks just for you to embrace dark lipstick at its best in your makeup goals.

Learning The Undertones Of Dark Lipstick

To start with, you have to know the right shade of dark lipstick that you want. So, learn the dark lipstick undertones first and there are five of them - burgundy, pink, brown, blue and red. Under these undertones, there are further shades and variations. So to decide your right shade of dark lipstick, first pick the undertone that suits you and then, go ahead with the shade.

Moisturize Your Lips Beforehand

The first step of applying dark lipstick is not colouring or painting. You have to begin with moisturizing your lips. In case your lips are cracked the chances of noticing it is more with dark lipstick. So ensure that the texture of your lips is smooth and plain by applying a moisturizer and then apply lip colours over it.

Layer Lip Liner (Other Than Outline)

Well, one of the basic tips for applying dark lipstick is layering a coat of lip liner all over your lip as a base to your lips. This enhances the colour of your lips and also, if there is a mess the lipstick will stay in place with lip liner as base coat. So, the lip liner has two roles with dark lipstick - a) doing the border and b) being the base colour for the lips.

Double Coat Of Lipstick

Now that you have planned for dark lipstick, you must apply double coats of your picked colour. There is a trick here. You have to apply the first coat of lip colour. Wait a while. Blot this layer of dark lipstick with a blotting paper. Then, reapply the second coat of the same dark lip colour.

If you dont do the blotting paper bit, the dark lipstick will appear dull. The blotting adds to the effectiveness of the lipstick making it picture perfect.

Don't Eat Away Your Lip Colour

One of the most annoying parts of dark lipstick is, it appears on your teeth and becomes disgusting for others. You can skip the eating away part also. Just take a tissue, wrap it around your index figer and place it inside your mouth on the lower lip. Suck this lipstick twice and your lipstick will never reach your teeth. Trust us, this trick works for all women.

Manage Your Cheeks

Well, pulling off dark lipstick is not alone about lips. The lipstick will appear brighter and oustanding when the rest of the face is calm. To ensure that the rest of the face is calmer than your lipstick, do apply a thick coat of bronzer specially on your cheeks. Bronzer is applied on the foundation to add a calmness to your face and thus make the lipstick stand out.
