How to Pull Off Black Lipstick This Fall

Black lipstick was one of the biggest makeup trends of the fashion week season, which is only fitting since Halloween is just around the corner. If you’re feeling bold and want to give it a try, here’s how you can pull it off!

Proper Application

Properly applying black lipstick requires some skill. You’ll need to exfoliate and moisturize your lips before applying dark lip liner and filling in your lips. Check out a couple of YouTube tutorials along the way for some extra inspiration.

Makeup Combo

Your first instinct will be to balance black lipstick with dark makeup, but this is not the only option. Once you start experimenting, you’ll find out this trend is much more versatile than you thought and you can go in a neutral or colorful direction.

Edgy Outfit?

You don’t have to go full goth when rocking a dark lipstick. You can’t exactly wear it at the office, but mixing it up with everything from a dark velvet dress to an offbeat preppy outfit is totally an option, as long as you don’t overdo it because your lipstick is already drawing attention.
