How to: Wear dark lipsticks - part 3

The last part! Hope you enjoy~

Once again, you want to prime your eyelids. Once you've done that take the Urban Decay Naked palette and use the colour Half Baked all over your eyelids and on your lower lash line. Once that's done, use Buck and use that as your crease colour. Blend this out well~

Then, use Dark Horse on your outer V of your eyes and blend. This is to intensify the makeup~ After that, apply a light pink blusher on your cheeks, i'm using Natural Collections Pink Cloud (I love this blusher if you couldn't have guessed already).

Apply a white or nude coloured eyeliner to your water line and apply mascara to your top lashes only!

And finally, apply Revlons Colourburst lipstick in 010 Plum, and you are done!

Thank you very, very much for taking the time to read my posts! It really means a lot to me~

Here's part 2 of how to wear dark lipstick, hope you enjoy~!

(I've still got the same makeup on from part 1 and i'm just layering eye shadows, just so you know!)
Using the Urban Decay Naked palette, i'm using Naked, a light matte brown, all over my eyelids and then Buck, a dark matte brown in my crease.

Then, using a pencil brush, take a mix of Naked and Buck and apply on your lower lash line. Apply mascara and liquid liner - you can apply the liner thicker this time and have a stronger wing, if you wish.

Now, using a matte brown, contour your cheek bones! Blend this out really, really well because other wise yo're going to have brown lines down the sides of your face and that's not a good look. To contour, suck in your cheeks so that you look like a fish, and in the hollow parts of your cheek, apply bronzer or a contour colour of your choice. After that apply a light pink blush lightly on the apples of your cheeks, i'm using Natural Collections Pink Cloud.

After that I then applied Revlons Super Lustrous lipstick in 477 Black Cherry, and that's it!

Thanks again for reading and stay tuned for part 3~!

How to: Wear dark lipsticks - part 1

Hello everyone, hope you're all well!
Here is a makeup tutorial for you on wearing dark lipsticks~ I know not everyone is going to want to wear dark lipsticks because it doesn't suit them or they just don't like it, but there are people out there, such as myself, who like to and this is just 3 ways that I wear 3 different types of dark lipsticks. Hope you enjoy!

So, the three lipsticks I will be using today are Rimmel London's Kate Moss lipstick in 04, Revlon Super Lustrous lipstick in 477 Black Cherry and Revlon Colourburst lipstick in 010 Plum. So let's get started with the first look! I've already applied BB Cream, concealer and i've filled in my brows.

Here i'm using MAC Painterly Paint Pot as a primer. Priming your eyelids prevents the eye shadows from creasing and helps them last longer. After that I used Soap & Glory's What's Nude eye shadow palette and I took the lightest colour, Vanilla, and put that all over my eye lids and under my lower lash line too.

After that, I used Sellout from the Urban Decay Book of Shadows Volume 2 and put that on the inner corners of my eyes and under my brow bone.

Once that was done, I set my face makeup with a setting powder. I then took the colour Virgin from the Urban Decay Naked palette and, using my ringer finger, put a little bit of the colour on my nose bridge, cupids bow and cheek bones to highlight my face.

I then applied liquid eye liner on my eyes, for this I didn't want to line my eyes too heavily or wing it out a lot, so I kept the line reasonably thin and gave only a small wing. I then used my Miss Sporty Pump Up Lash mascara on my top and bottom lashes.

Now we can apply lipstick! For this look i'm using the Rimmel London Kate Moss lipstick in 04. (This was the first time that I was using it so I wasn't sure how it would look on me!) When I apply a dark lipstick, I like to put some on my lips at first, kinda messily, then use a lip brush to make sure I get smooth lines and so that's even, I go over it again with the lipstick to darken it up some more.
