Happy Tuesday! I can’t believe we are this far into the challenge. I know it’s only two weeks, but these two weeks are flying by. Today’s look was supposed to be all about dark, glossy lips, but I cheated a little by going just dark. Hey, that’s a challenge enough, right? I’m going to show my hand here: this look is the one that pushed me the most out of my comfort zone and the one I like the most of this entire challenge.
A few things usually happen when I wear dark lips: 1. I feel like Lorde and 2. I feel like I look very formal. Like I need an excuse to wear dark lips. i credit this to being very, very pale with dark hair, which can make dark lips look a little dramatic/goth. Vampy lips are usually a fall/winter look, but you know what I love about wearing them in the summer? I have a tan! With a tan, I feel a little less like edgy Lorde and a little more like sultry bad girl Rihanna. Also because dark lips are less dramatic with a tan, I feel like I can get away with rocking them to less formal occasions. For instance, I wore this look to my friend’s pizza and ice cream party (homemade pizza and ice cream that is– yum!)
Not so scary with dark lips
I feel no need to lie about where I got the inspiration for this look. Youtuber Kait Nichole did a similar look based on Chrissy Teigen’s makeup. I’ve been waiting a while to find a way to wear this look.
Feelin my look, but definitely not intimidating anyone
Products Used:

Now that I’ve finished the challenge, have a look at my other looks!
These dark lips suite you very well 🙂
Thank you!
I love this look. This lipstick looks fabulous on you. I’ve been wanting to get a nice dark lip color. I need to look into purchasing this wet n wild lipstick. Their Megalast Lip Colors are great. Thanks for sharing hun. 🙂

Yay! If you only want to wear the color once in a while, wnw lipsticks are great for the price 🙂
I love how this looks on you! The slight eyeliner really makes it. I recognized that lipstick, haha. I normally wear dark reds in Fall/Winter, but I get bored sticking with one colour all the time, so even in Summer I’ll wear it every now and then. I’m not big on black or dark purple, but I do love rich, dark reds.
It’s a popular color, right? I bought it just for the price
It is actually lol. The Wet n Wild lipstick prices are so excellent for the quality, I just wish they didn’t tug so much. =(
I completely agree. And on my lips at least, they are drying. They’re not really every day colors for me for that reason, but I’ll gladly by a few for the lip colors I’m only going to wear every few months or so
Oh really? That’s awful. =( I’ve actually been wearing Just Peachy as an everyday colour for awhile. I agree with that, though!
This color looks fab on you!!!
Thanks 😀
looove vampy lips! can’t wait for the colder months to wear them again!
you’re looking gorgeous as always!
lots of xx, Annie | Annie’s Beauty
Thank you, Annie!
Love the faces! You are totally ruining the moody / mysterious look with that last face, lol
You definitely suit the vampy lips. If I did that, I’d get a LOT of comments since I am normally a tinted lip balm or just clear lip balm on my lips!
Glossy AND vampy lips would involve WAY too much upkeep / touch-ups every 10 minutes!
Haha, I felt a little too serious with the straight faced selfies. I got some comments as I’m not normally a dark lip girl, but I really liked the overall effect
Stunner!
Thank you 🙂
Looks great on you! 🙂
Thanks!
I try to avoid dark lips for me year round, haha. I look like death. But the color is actually really nice on you!
Haha, thank you! I think I normally look washed out, but this tan (if you can call it that) helps
Wow what a daring lip colour n it looks amazing on you 😘
Thanks 🙂
Just great! You should sport dark lips more often, really 🙂
Haha, thanks! After this I will
I love a vampy lip!
Me too 🙂
Vampy lips are our FAVORITE!
😀
I think this lip color looks amazing on you! ❤
Thank you! ❤
You’re very welcome!! ❤ 🙂
Love the makeup.Beautiful.
Thanks
Thanks!
It looks great on you! I think because it has a kind of berry undertone that it’s totally working with your skin. Gorgeous! 😉
Thanks. Yes, it’s much more berry than it looks at first glance. I thought it was just a dark red, but it has a lot of purple undertones
This is a great look on you, lovely choice of lipstick!
Thank you. I was scared I wouldn’t be able to pull it off, but I love how it turned out
My favourite look so far! You’re lucky you can pull off a dark lip<3
Haha, thank you! It was really just a matter of getting every thing else right: slight tan to bring warmth to my skin and slightly smoky liner to balance out the eyes.
Well you got it perfect either way! ❤
i ADORE THIS LIP COLOR. Definitely know whawt I’m buying next! 🙂
Go for it! So inexpensive 🙂
The first thing is I cant wear lipstick and i dont like it on myself but I loooove it on others. I’m a coloured lipbrush, lip gloss etc kinda girl.But back to the subject at hand, I’d totally wear a vamp/dark lippy on a balmy summer’s night and think the look really suits you- makes your eyes POP!
Thanks so much! I totally get being more of a lip gloss/stain person. The more I get into lip products, the more I’m drifting away from traditional lipstick
