This color scheme is divided into three tones: red, brown and purple. With a cold skin tone, it is better to give preference to a purple undertone like plum or berry. For warm skin tones, choose a brown like burgundy. Red tone suits any skin color.

Dark lipstick: application secrets
- In order for the product to lie flat on the lips, they must be exfoliated. In the absence of a special scrub, you can use a regular toothbrush.
- Then you need to moisturize your lips and apply a little foundation.
- The lips are outlined, and then the rest of the area is painted over. This will keep the lipstick in place throughout the day. A dark shade visually makes the lips smaller, so it is recommended to draw the contour, going slightly beyond the lips. Or apply a sheer shine on top to maintain volume.
- When distributing lipstick, you need to stretch your lips a little in a smile, this technique will allow evenly tinted lips.
- The first layer of lipstick will need to be blotted with a handkerchief, thus sealing the pigment of the cosmetic product. This trick will help remove excess lipstick from the inside of your lips.
Dark lipstick: matching makeup
- Dark lipstick looks bright, so for daytime makeup, it should be combined with neutral shades applied to the eye area.
- The best choice is neat arrows and shadows to match.
- The pallor of the face will be removed by blush of gentle tones.
- Evening makeup can include dark lipstick, red or chocolate light smokey ice.
