Tips for every day vampire lips

Winter is the perfect time to switch to darker makeup palettes. On another season, a darker lip shade could come off as intimidating for some. But if you want to try a darker shade for a change, here are some tips to make your vampire lips look wearable on a normal day :

Go for dark, sheer tints If you want your lips to look dark (but not too dark), try sheer tints or balms. Going sheer is the subtlest way of getting into the vampire-lip trend, but it’s not as strong as wearing an actual thick lipstick.

Choose dark lippies with a red or pink undertone You can never go wrong with a hint of red or pink. Lipsticks with purple and black undertones could make you look gothic. Choose shades like plum or cherry.

Fake fuller lips Dark lipstick can make lips look thinner. Fake fuller lips by slightly overdrawing with a fake liner and filling it in with the same color.

Don’t forget to gloss Matte lipstick will make you look and feel dry. Don’t forget to put on some gloss to soften your look. Putting on gloss will also make your lip color last longer.
