If, on the one hand, dark lipstick is beautiful and striking, on the other, it causes a certain fear. This is because there are many doubts about how to use it. With that in mind, this article will help you rock using dark lipstick in different shades. In addition, we’ve put together incredible tips to help you get beyond the basic makeup look.
But, before that, let’s better understand where all this taboo surrounding dark lipstick comes from!
A few years ago, stronger lipsticks were only used on big occasions and at night-time events. And there was always that question: will the lipstick match the outfit? Could it be that the eye is too heavy for the lipstick, which is already dark?
However, as time passed, this was left behind (thankfully). With the internet accessible, and makeup bloggers demystifying the world of online makeup, nowadays it is much more common to see women wearing dark lipstick on a daily basis.
Without a doubt, lipstick is an element that makes all the difference in makeup and even in your look. Knowing how to combine this accessory (yes, an accessory!) with the entire outfit has a lot of influence, but what really counts is that it matches your personality.
And, as several new shades of dark lipstick have recently emerged, the time has come for you to lose your fear and allow yourself to experiment. So, be sure to check out our tips below.
How to wear dark lipstick: day
Firstly, the secret is to use little shadow and contour. Above all, very light skin, without a lot of lighting and markings, goes very well with dark lipstick during the day.
Furthermore, if you want to wear dark lipstick at work or at college, it is recommended to opt for mascara over false eyelashes. Well, the mouth will attract a lot of attention. So let her bill alone.
How to wear dark lipstick: night
Going partying or on a romantic date? So, go for dark lipstick without fear.
Use long-lasting lipsticks with a matte effect. In other words, the one that is more matte and dry. Otherwise, as you eat or drink, you run the risk of lipstick becoming smudged or smudged. And, without a doubt, there is nothing more complicated than removing dark lipsticks without makeup remover.
Enlarge your mouth with dark lipstick
Initially, you will need to “turn off your mouth”. To do this, you need to apply a lot of concealer to your lips, especially along the lines. This will make it more natural when you contour.
Next, it’s time to work around. However, it is extremely important that you do not overdo the new design you make.
So, start at the top of your mouth, also known as your cupid’s bow. Afterwards, start the process at the bottom. For this you need a lip contour pencil.
The ideal is to use a pencil in the same color as your chosen lipstick. Furthermore, it needs to have a very fine tip.
Finally, to avoid having an exact marking of the drawing you made, you need to blend it, bringing the color of the pencil to the center of the lips. To do this, use a brush of your choice, or even your fingers.
Afterwards, just apply a nude lipstick to the center of your lips and then apply dark lipstick. However, to have an even greater effect, the tip is to apply gloss to your lower lip and apply a little highlighter close to your cupid’s bow.

More tips
Whenever you use lipsticks with a strong tone, moisturize your lips before applying, especially if it has a matte effect. In addition to helping with mouth health, it also makes your lips look better. Above all, there is no trace of dryness left.
It’s also important to remember that, in general, fair skin looks great with warmer tones. In the same way that dark skin tends to highlight much more with orange or wine tones.
Finally, dark lipstick also enhances teeth, as it creates contrast. In other words, depending on the tone, you still end up with teeth that appear lighter.
How to apply?
As previously stated, you need to hydrate your mouth. Afterwards, apply the concealer and start marking with the pencil. Even if the intention is not to enlarge your lips, this is an important step.
So, here’s an extra tip: if you just want to create a limitation when applying lipstick and not change the shape or size of your mouth, contour it exactly along the line of your mouth. If the intention is to make the lips a little smaller, move the contour slightly into the mouth, just after the line.
Then, to give it a more fleshy appearance, draw an “X” on the cupid’s bow. This way you can have more precision.
Then, make the markings at the bottom, and then just connect one marking to the other. Finally, apply the lipstick to the center of your lips and pull the color towards the corners of your mouth. This way you avoid excess product and even smudging.
It’s blurred, now what?
It’s simple! Just apply a little concealer very gently to the part that was stained. You can even apply makeup remover with the help of a plastic swab.
