A Kiss Of Chocolate… Fall’s Dark lip trend.
November 25th, 2008 · by Danica Jardien · Filed Under: Artistry · Fall Makeup

I am sure that you have all seen the lip trend for fall… Dark Lips!? I know that it can be a bit hard to grasp at first, with the nude lip being so popular and all! I have never really been to big into dark lips, but I have to admit that with the right eye makeup and my hair pulled back, I can rock out a dark lip these days. I found an amazing lip gloss that can take your favorite lipstick and turn into the trendy fall dark lip in just a dab or two. At first I didn’t know if I was going to shine my black stilettos with it, or exactly what I was looking at, but after trying it on I had to have it! I am talking about the new lip gloss by Yves Saint Laurent, Pur Black Gloss $28.00. Don’t judge a book by it’s cover, this new gloss will not turn your lips black if you place it over your existing lipstick to deepen it. Choosing a new lipgloss is so much easier than trying to find that perfect shade of lipstick!

Not only are dark lips in vogue for Fall, but so are dark nails and I could not be more excited about that! We’ll Always Have Paris, by OPI is a gorgeous nail lacquer to compliment your dark lips and muted tones for the Fall.

A little tip that I have learned with maintaining dark nail lacquer on my nails, is to apply a great nail strengthener first. I have great success with Nailtiques! Apply two coats of Nailtiques and wait to dry, then apply two to three coats of your favorite shade and again allow to dry. Now finish your nails with a final coat of nailtiques. For 7 days apply one coat of nailtiques to a clean nail and allow to dry. This will really help to keep those nails looking flawless!

Thanks for posting that this does not make your lips black when used over lipstick. I saw it and was hesitant to try it because I had gone through a black lipstick/goth phase when I was younger but have been moving more towards a deeper, richer elegant gothic look ie more grown up than when I was younger now that I am in my thirties and this sounds like it would do that for me so I am definitey thinking I will try it. Also thanks for the nail advice. I have a hard time keeping nail polish, nail decals any of those things, nail tips on as my nail beds appear to be too oily for anything to adhere to them well, at least thats what I have been told. So I will have to try the nail products you suggest and see how that works for me.

Yeah the black lip look can be a hard one to pull off! This gloss is nice though because it will just darken a color without a lot of drama. Good luck with your nails, I really have to keep on top of mine (daily) to achieve the look and durability that I want. Nailtiques is great though!

hi there I left messages in youtube but it is not working here right now…and either your email.
So again and again i am leaving here what i wrote and i am sorry if you did receive them i wrote like 3 times
and for me here it didnt work!
I was looking online for Mac mystery and I found a lot of colors…I am confused because if think the one that you use
is a black type but i still couldnt find it.
Could you send me a link where i can find it online or just the exactly mystery color that you use.
I look forward for a new video…
And i would love if you could do something really classic
like gwen stefani eyes .
Take care of you…Obrigada!
