Sometimes you want to casually apply dark lipstick without looking like a goth or a vampire.

Professionals advise following simple rules on how to properly wear a spectacular dark lip color.

Find the shade that suits you

Just like choosing a shade of red or nude lipstick, you'll need to try out countless dark shades to find your perfect match.

Stylists advise to focus on your skin tone and assure that dark lipstick color will suit any skin tone.

Keep your makeup neutral

To avoid going for the goth look, when wearing dark lips, keep the rest of your makeup soft and neutral.

Add some lighter color

If dark lipstick seems a little bold to you, you can lighten it.

To do this, apply a little light lipstick to the center of your lips and blend it in. This will soften the dark lipstick and the whole look.
