Black Lipstick, Tips, Advice 2010
The makeup industry has undergone numerous changes, some of which have been inspired by new fashion, and some that have sparked new trends. Black lipstick is one such trend that has been around for quite some time, and girls around the world are considering adding it to their makeup bags.
Brief history
Black lip color has been around for longer than you may think. In some cultures it is used as a sign of victory, while in others it is just intended to clarify tribal identification. It has been used as part of costumes in horror movies, especially those featuring vampires. It was only recently that it became associated with punk rockers and Goths.
Who looks good in it?
No matter what color a lipstick is, it has the potential to look really good or really bad on somebody, and the same is true for black lipstick. Because it is a dark lipstick it will complement any dark feature, whether it is skin tone or hair colour. It would suit those with lighter skin tones and dark hair, if they don’t mind being mistaken for a Goth. People with very dark skin tones can also pull this off, especially if they have very dark eyes. Generally the youth tend to be able to work the look better then children or adults.
How to wear black lipstick
When wearing black lipstick you should follow the rules of makeup and create a balance. Since you’ll be having dark lips, you want to pay down the eye makeup. Some light eyeliner may be in order but that is where it should stop. As far as application goes, it is best to use a brush so that you can apply it smoothly and evenly. You may even decide to get dark reds or purples that appear almost black, if you can’t see yourself wearing black.

Invisible Makeup – How To Apply It For Naturally Gorgeous Look
Some girls want to look fabulous for parties or for a night out on the town and will often use bright and sparkly colors. Other girls prefer a more natural look, especially for everyday activities. This is where invisible makeup comes in, and you can apply it and look gorgeous in just a few steps.
1) Cleanse: use a gentle cleanser to get rid of the oil, dirt, and dead skin on your face. Try not to use a harsh cleanser that will dry your skin.
2) Tone: using toner on your face will help to keep your skin firm.
3) Moisturize: this will help to keep your skin moist, and provide the perfect platform for smooth, even makeup.
4) Concealer: you can use concealer if you want to hide any imperfections like scars, blemishes or dark spots. This should always be put on before the foundation.
5) Foundation: apply foundation to your face, but make sure that the color matches your skin tone. Blend it in until it almost disappears.
6) Blush: blush is meant to add a bit of color to your skin and make you look more alive. Less is more, so use it sparingly on your cheeks.
7) Eye shadow: try to find a natural color that is close to your skin tone like brown or beige.
8. Powder: use translucent powder to dust your face. This will help to create a more natural look.
9) Lipstick: try and pick a shade of lipstick that is close to the natural color of your lips. If you are using lip liner as well it should be the same shade.
10) Eyeliner: if you are going to use eyeliner, try and do so subtly on the outer half of your eyelid. You may use white, black or brown to look more natural.
