10 Badass Ways to Pull Off Dark Lipstick!

A '70s-meets-'90s trend, deep-coloured lips are hot right NOW. So vampify your pout with deep shades of berry, plum, browns, and even black!

Here's our guide on how to rock the goth lips trend:

#1 Brown lipsticks can be boring. So, what can make a grown-up brown sexy? A glossy do-over.

#2 Black lips are not just a goth favourite anymore! Work this shade by keeping the rest of the makeup toned down.

#3 OTT lip colours like green and blue go well with some shimmery gloss or pigment. Take a cue from Rihanna for crazy lip colours and try an emerald green lippy!

#4 If you think a black lip is too outré, then go for almost black colours. Try darker shades like cherry and layer them up with a black lippie or even a black eyeliner.​

#5 For a classic look, pair your deep reds with winged liner and a heavy dose of mascara.

#6 For petal stained lips, swipe your lipstick and blot the colour. Then to create a dark stain, dab the same colour in the centre.

#7 Dark shades can make your lips look thinner, so don't be afraid to outline your lips for some pout perfection.

#8 Over drawn lips and dark colour make just the right recipe for some extra drama!

#9 Try a blurred effect, apply the lipstick in the middle of your lips and then smudge it out using your fingers.

#10 Violet lips make quite a statement. Work them with smokey eyes and faux lashes.
