Crimson purples, browns and reds have always blossomed on our lips only in autumn and winter. That was before Taylor, Rihanna and Cara explained to the whole world that "my good lady there is no more season", that the couturiers follow suit (Nina Ricci, Burberry etc ...) and that youtubeuses and other bloggers say that the dark lips under the sun is cool.
Bordeaux, chocolate, black ... The dark lipstick in all its states
The dark shades invite guest star of all the last make-up outings of the summer. Of the 100 new Vice Lipsticks that Urban Decay has launched many are very dark including Liquid Sheer, a translucent brown topissime superimposed on the nudes to wake them up. Chanel's Rouge Audace, bordeaux matinée de chocolat is likely to become a new must-have just like the Black Revealer that Givenchy integrates into its permanent offer. MAC is not left out with Bowl me over, a burnt crimson downright glamorous. Lipstick Queen, the most confidential brand of lipstick, dedicates its collection "Black Beast".
To finish the Gloss Raven of Manic Panic deserves a special mention. This glossy black gloss can be worn alone or accompanied, day or night and is suitable for all skin tones and looks. To be brought back from New York as soon as possible.
Matt, satin, balm: textures diversify
Textures also diversify. The mats become more comfortable (Urban Decay Blackmail), and go from the classic stick to the liquid Ink format (Chanel Experimented). By Terry offers a new hybrid texture: a balm overloaded with pigments that does not run (By Terry Dark Purple). Queen Lipstick masters the metallics perfectly (Wine Metal) and the translucent ones for a bitten lips effect (Possessed Sheer) while L'Oréal sets its sights on the satin (Wasted).
Wearing purple or dregs of wine can seem risky if you're not a RnB star or Fashion Weeks. "Not at all," says Ludovic Engrand, Make Up Artist for Urban Decay, who gives us some advice on the choice of colors, textures and its application.
How to tame dark shades when the sun is at the rendezvous?
Ludovic Engrand : "You have to have the ultra glowy complexion. Summer with tanning that gilds the skin is within the reach of all, and the eyes are highlighted with metallic or glossy shadows. If we did not go out in the sun, a golden makeup will do the trick. For the hair I recommend a blow-dry as natural as possible. "
What colors to adopt according to its skin color, hair color and eyes?
"Everything is possible from dark brown to blackcurrant to black or even navy blue. It only needs to be harmonious. The lips are perceived as a jewel that enhances the sex appeal. Wearing one of these shades requires self-confidence. "
Which texture to choose?
"In general satin has the favors of day beautystas and the mat of night owls. As for glosses and translucents, they are alone or transform the muted colors and give them shine. "
How to apply these dark colors?
"We begin to prepare his lips by exfoliating them and moisturizing them with a balm. You then circle your mouth with a transparent lip contour or in the chosen shade. Finally, using a brush or applicator we color the lips. Depending on the intensity you want, you go back several times. To avoid the flat and massive effect that can create these tones, it suffices to degrade the red of the center at the corners of the lips. "
