dark lips.

i've never been a big fan of darker lips, until this fall + winter.
i love all the plums + reds when done the right way.

i've been sporting both plum and red lips this season.
i think the trick to it is finding the brand + shade that works for you.

for plum lips - i've been using lorac sheer wash lip stain in sheer luck.
it's dark than you'd think.
i tend to layer it with different color lipsticks or glosses.
depending on my mood or what i'm wearing.
and the great part, it lasts a really long time.
i got mine from ulta.

for red lips - i've been using a freebie that i got in the mail and never reviewed on my blog. imagine that.
i love this stuff because it does not stain. i repeat, this red lipstick does not stain. hooray!
it is full of moisture and has yet to find it's way onto my teeth.
i hate the red lipsticks that end up being so messy and get all over your face! not cool.
this brand + shade as worked out perfectly for me.

i've also seen several corals + pinks that i'm loving on other people.
but have not gotten brave enough to try myself.

I need to find a great red shade. I like the bright pinks on other people, but don't think I could pull it off.

i have a red lipstick/gloss from MAC but I have only worn it a few times.

i've been on the lookout for red lipstick/gloss so i will definitely have to try that candy apple one.
i've always loved shades of pink and coral, also but dont know if i can quite pull it off.

I love dark eyes and how dark lips look! Unfortunately, I just can't pull off the dark lips look!

I love dark lips but I'm so pale, I'm afraid I'll look goth. Hahaha.
