It's used to be all about the eyes and now more than ever before, statement lips are so on trend! Almost every major manufacturer is creating bold, vivid and eye popping shades in ultra violet, mermaid inspired hues in emeralds and blues and you guessed it, black!

To prevent dark lipcolor from feathering or bleeding always apply lipliner.
Lipliner keeps the edges nice and defined and it helps to create shape and fullness.
This step is mandatory if you want to rock dark lipcolor.
Line your lips with a freshly sharpened lip pencil that is one shade darker, than your lipstick. Then, fill in your lips with the same lipliner and gently blend the harsh lines with a synthetic brush.

Conceal & Perfect:
Finally, the last and probably the most important step is concealer. Not everyone can apply dark lip color like a pro, that's where a tiny amount of concealer (or foundation) and a tiny brush comes handy!
Clean up and perfect the edges of your lips to make the lines extra sharp and you are ready to go. Wear your bold, dark, vampy lips with confidence and pride!
