THE DO’S AND DON’TS OF DARK LIPSTICK ***DO prep your lips properly by exfoliating and moisturizing before application. This make the color go on smoother and last longer. ***DON’T apply dark lipstick on dry, chapped lips. The color will crack and flake off–not a good look. ***DO line your lips with a lip pencil similar in color to your lipstick first. This allows you to establish the boundaries of your lip and the pencil helps hold the color in place. ***DON’T apply it straight from lipstick bullet. Instead, use a lip brush to give you control over the application and intensity. ***DO clean up mistakes and perfect the edges of your lip line with concealer for a polished finish. Wine colored smears tend to ruin the drama of a dark lip. ***DON’T forget about your eyes. Defined brows, clean liner and lots of mascara pair well with dark lips. For eye shadow, choose a light shimmery bronze or taupe to play up the eyes without stealing focus from the lips. ***DO add a little color to the cheeks to brighten up the face. Reneau used L’Oréal The One Sweep Sculpting Blush Duo in Poppy on set. ***DON’T forget to do a teeth check! ***DO pick a shade you love…**
