Once we find the right dark lipstick, it's time to apply. As much as we are happy with the fact that dark lipsticks are often very pigmented, it's so important to keep in mind their application. Even small mistakes can leave pigment on the skin, which is why we often need to fix foundation and erase mistakes. Arm yourself with micellar water and cotton buds, they are great for repairs.

Find the color that matches the intensity you are looking for and the color you want to wear. There are no clear rules in choosing the shades, but if you have lighter skin tone try matching it to deep red colors, middle tones and the olive tones look incredibly in deep chocolate tones and deeper warmer skin tones look sensational in very dark shades.

Preparation is always half of the work, even with lipstick application. Light and gentle scrub will make wonders for lips and lipsticks. Mix a little olive oil and sugar, apply it on your lips in light circular motion. Rinse the lips and hydrate them. Burts Bees has excellent natural hydrating products, or get EOS lip balm that quickly absorbs into the lips.

Apply the lipstick directly from the packaging, you do not need brushes for this part, but I recommend that you prepare a lip brush to fix the edges of your lips and create a continuous, straight line. I recommend the Kryolan Premium lip brush which you can use to apply lipstick and even gel liner.

If you want to create a light ombre effect that will visually enlarge your lips, use a pencil that is of the same shade or shade darker than the lipstick itself and apply it to the outer edge of your lips. If you want to outline your lips, keep in mind that you do it just outside the natural edge of your lips. The distance between the skin part on which the drawn edge is and the natural edge of the lip are two different textures, so the color does not apply the same intensity and is removed unevenly.

Do not forget to take the lipstick with you. Reapplication is crucial if you want the lip looking good through day or night. Keep in mind that food and drink can mess with the. It's often wears off just in the middle of the lip, so focus on repairing parts that only need a bit of repair, re-engage the center of the lower lip, press the lips together, and do not move them left-right or top-down.
