When it comes to the latest in beauty trends we’d be remiss not to mention the return of this season’s famous dark-colored pout. We first saw the deep, plum lip on Rihanna in 2008 at the BET Awards, and since then a number of celebrities and fashion designers alike have adopted the trend to compliment their looks.
The berry-like shade is the perfect combination of a feminine edge without being too sinister. Just like all trends, while it may not work for you specifically, we’d like to think you’d consider switching up your routine and give it a whirl, even if you don’t have the guts to leave the house with it on.
Here are a couple of tips on how to wear the festive trend without looking washed out:
1. Dark shades can very be unforgiving so be sure to exfoliate your lips to avoid any cracks or peeling. For an at-home method, liberally apply Vitamin E oil with a pinch or two of sugar and brush your lips with a dry toothbrush.
2. The key to executing the dramatic dark lip is to keep it simple with minimal eye makeup. A peach or brown eye is ideal. Also remember that matte lip colors look best with darker colors (think wines and raspberries).
