Ever tried wearing your favorite red lipstick while rocking rainbow-hued hair? Not so easy, huh? Avoid lip color that clashes with adventurous hair dye by opting for black lips.
With a name like Portland Black Lipstick Company, this company definitely knows a thing or two about creating a superior dark shade. A moisturizing formula and slightly glossy finish make this black lipstick your go-to if you suffer from dry lips but still want to dabble in the dark arts.

Less Is More
Lessen the badass feel of black lips with non-existent eye makeup and an oh-so-subtle dab of blush to the cheeks.
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."
This deep purple, almost-black moisturizing lipstick goes on smooth, making it the perfect option for those wary of truly black hues and matte formulas that lock into place.
