I love a vampy dark lip especially the luscious shades of purple that are so dark that they are almost black. Like so many things that people save for occasions, I personally think that the best way to wear a dark lip is as if it is simply another red or just another every day lip color.. For today’s post instead of pairing it with a casual look I decided to play into the semi-gothic vibe of the lipstick (without swinging too far that way mind you) and create a contrasting look perfect for the coming winter months.
