I'm a big fan of bold lipsticks, usually reds, which you'll know if you've been reading my blog for a while. However, each season has a different style to it and for me personally, winter is the season for darker lips. So in today's post, I thought I'd share my top dark lipsticks with you, the ones I keep reaching for.
I have a lot of lipsticks, most of which are similar shades. I mean, who doesn't need five different yet the same lipsticks? Two of these lipsticks are very similar shades, but one is a bit more pricey than the other. So let's get into it, I'll start off with the more budget-friendly ones.
The only thing that ever puts me off using darker shades, is that I do have slightly stained teeth. I guess it's a mix of drinking an insane amount of coffee and smoking when I was younger, young me wasn't very smart. Although I still drink a lot of coffee now and it's not something I'm willing to give up just so I can blind people with my smile.
If your lips are a bit more on the dry side, like mine are occasionally in winter, then this one is probably the best choice for you. This creamy Revolution Pro lipstick is a smudge-proof and hydrating lipstick with a matte finish. I use this one more on days when I know I'm going to be out all day, as it doesn't dry out on my lips and go all flaky like some liquid lipsticks do. I bought two Revolution Pro lipsticks a while ago and have loved them both, so I'll definitely be adding some more to my collection soon - Any shades you'd recommend?
I bought this one well over a year ago, luckily it lasts two years once opened, which is pretty good for a lipstick. Although I love this one and it's a good budget liquid lipstick, it's not one that you could pull off wearing all day without having to reapply, especially if you have dry lips. It tends to crack a bit throughout the day, so if you're wearing it out all day, make sure you top it up.
I impulse bought three Classic Horror lipsticks a while ago and although the "Mummy" one did not suit me at all, I absolutely love the "Drac" and "Frankie" ones. In fact, the "Frankie" liquid lipstick was part of my Red Lips For The Season post that I did for Blogmas. This Classic Horror liquid lipstick stays put, I rarely have to top it up. However, if your lips are having a bit of a crisis and are really dry, I wouldn't recommend using it without exfoliating and moisturising your lips first.
