The chiller weather means a cooler, darker palette. Lip
colors are probably the easiest to play with and change according to the
season. Berry lips come back every year so its no surprise you’re seeing it
again, it's a classic. So my darlings, put down those pinks and oranges and put
on a rich berry color. It can seem very intimidating at first but please don’t
be afraid to give it a try. It’s universally flattering on all skin tones and
with so many different formulas you are bound to find your match.
If you are uncomfortable with the idea
of wearing such a deep shade or if you’re minimalist, a stain would be a great
option for you. Stains are great way to test out colors and are easier to
applier then a lipstick. You can either buy a sheer berry color stain or DIY. Apply
a clear balm on to the lips, then gently tap a berry colored lipstick until you
reached the desired shade. To matte it out use your ring finger and press onto
lips.
If you’re ready to go head first and
rock this trend then a opaque berry lipstick is what you need. Make sure that
when wearing this look you keep the rest of your make-up simple. You don't want
your make-up competing with one another or it will begin to look very animated. Applying such a dramatic color
straight from the tube can be very tricky and get messy very quickly. I suggest
starting with a clear lip liner to insure your color won’t bleed or disappear. Next,
use a synthetic brush to apply the color while bloating in between coats. When
you’re happy with the color use a cotton swab to clean around the mouth. Remember,
you wear the color the color doesn't wear you.
Good luck!
