Those who want to ease into the black lips trend can reach for an almost-black, plum-tinged lipstick that is just as dramatic. Rivas points out we should "remember that a dark lip doesn't necessarily mean the color black -- there are various shades that can give you the same effect like deep berries, violets, and browns." These are great options for those who want to dabble with a striking shade "without feeling like you're going to a Halloween party."
