The dark side | Lipsticks.

I have fallen in love with dark lipsticks. A bold lip really amplifies a simple look and can boost your confidence in the way you look. I am not really a daring person but just being a lipstick addict, I had to get some and don't actually mind wearing them.

I have some high-street picks which are different in their own way, especially in the finish, staying power but also in the colour pay off. They are not as vampy as others on the market.

Revlon Black cherry. 17 New Black. Rimmel Starry eyed.

The first one pictured is the infamous Black cherry by Revlon. The colour is not as presented in the bullet. It is quite purple; a true dark vine shade. The lipstick has a super lustrous finish, therefore giving a smooth and easy application.

17 New black is an amazing true purple/plum shade, the finish is quite matte yet not overly drying. This is a great lipstick which easily compares to a more expensive lipstick. This lipstick is perfect if you want to experiment with a daring colour but do not want to go all out.

Rimmel shade starry eyed has a little red which is mixed with a purple giving of a burgundy pay off. The finish is quite lustrous and shiny, which I detest so I normally dab it with tissue to matte it out. It says its a lasting finish lipstick, though wearing it without dabbing your lips allows it to slide off, so make sure to wear a lip liner underneath.

So, I suggest, if you do not own any dark shaded lipsticks, to head out and buy one because it can vamp up any lipstick. Revlon being £7.49, 17 being £4.29 and Rimmel being £4.99.

pick these up at you local Superdrug or Boots.
