Heres How to Pull Off Dark Lipstick Like a Pro: 1. Know your limits. If you have really thin lips, We don’t recommend a dark lipstick. Dark colors minimize whereas light colors are going to volumize. A dark shade on already thin lips will make them look thinner, and that can make a face look older, since lips typically lose volume as we age. If you have naturally voluminous lips or regular lips, go for it. 2. Keep it balanced. The key to doing a dark lip colour is making sure the rest of your makeup is really in harmony with that lip. Keep it fairly minimal on the rest of your face. 3. Choose a shade that complements your skin tone. As with any makeup color, your complexion determines what will look good on you. 4. Use a lip liner. Lip liner is an absolute must with dark lips. Use a pencil to perfect your shape; the waxes in the pencil will also help prevent color bleeding. 5. Still wary? Try a muted take. Try a sheer shade, it really does look good on everyone — or create your own by applying a dark lipstick with your fingers instead of straight from the bullet for a sheer wash of color. 6. Try a trendy shade.
