A fading red or pink lipstick isn't ideal, but a fading black lipstick tends to look like something out of a horror movie. Keep your lips on point with a formula that has serious staying power.
A glossy sheen will amp up your lip volume, unlike a matte formula, which tends to minimize lips in this shade. No-makeup makeup and full, natural brows will keep your look fresh, not freaky.

Bring Balance
Teaming bangs with a bold black lipstick helps balance your features. A flirty fringe helps keep the look quirky rather than goth, and a bronze blush brings warmth to your features.

Sheer Brilliance
A sheer black lip can be the difference between a scary look and a scary-good look. A sheer formula will allow your natural lip color to shine through, giving the dark tint just a hint of a red hue.
