How to wear dark lipstick for your skin tone

With the fall season, wardrobes and makeup are shifting towards warmer tones and sophisticated colors. Dark lipstick can be a great way to add a touch of sophistication to your outfit, but it can be tricky to know what shade will suit you best. Here's a quick guide on how to choose the right dark lipstick for your skin tone.

If You Have Fair Skin

Your best bet is to stick with shades that have a berry or plum base (SMH Matte Liquid Lipstick is a great example). These colors will complement your skin without making you look washed out. Try a few different shades until you find one that you love. If you want to go for a more dramatic look, opt for a blackberry or burgundy shade. Just make sure to line your lips first so that the color doesn't bleed.

If You Have Medium Skin

You can pretty much rock any color that you want. From vampy reds to dusky roses, there are endless options available to you. If you're feeling bold, why not experiment with a deep aubergine or midnight blue? And if you're looking for something a little more mellow, try a chocolate brown or mauve shade. However you choose to wear it, just make sure that your lipstick is well-pigmented so that it lasts all day (or night) long.

If you Have Olive or Dark Skin

Lucky you! You can pretty much get away with any color under the sun. Whether you want to go for a classic red lip or something a little more daring like a deep plum (check out our shade 4EVA Matte Liquid Lipstick), the world is your oyster when it comes to dark lipstick shades. If you need some inspiration, try looking at pictures of your favorite celebrities and seeing what colors they like to wear.

No matter what your skin tone is, there's definitely a dark lipstick out there that's perfect for you. So don't be afraid to experiment until you find the right shade. And who knows? You might just discover your new favorite color in the process.
