Black Lips: 17 Women Who Will Inspire You to Try the Trend ImmediatelyIf Kylie can wear it, so can you. Here's how to sport black lipstick flawlessly |
When it comes to makeup trends, black lips probably rank as one of the most daunting beauty looks out there. But when worn correctly, bold black lips come off more glam than Goth. Not only do attention-grabbing dark lips offer go-with-everything versatility, but they offer a statement-making look that will help anyone stand out from a sea of basic babes.
"Dark lip colors can sometimes be intimidating, but [they] can actually be very chic and a perfect winter look," says M.A.C. Cosmetics Senior Artist Cynthia Rivas. "Your lips will be the star of the show, so balance out the rest of your makeup by keeping the face neutral and by simply adding warmth to the cheeks to give it a softer feel."
But if you're like us, you're of the camp that subscribes to the notion that seeing is believing. So with that in mind, we've rounded up an eclectic mix of women -- with just about every hair color and complexion under the sun -- to demonstrate just how universally flattering black lipstick can be, as well as additional tips from Rivas to show us how to step over to the oh-so-chic dark side.
