Dark Lipstick Trend

I have been waiting for E V E R to hop on the dark lipstick trend. I always see other people wearing dark lipsticks and I think that it looks absolutely fabulously. Take toopreppytofunction. She rocks the dark lip all the time, and I absolutely admire it. She's so bold; I don't think I would have taken that risk in high school.

When I spotted YouTube Makeup Guru and my personal friend from home, IamJustaMakeupLover (Olena) wearing this dark lip, I was in awe. I needed to get on the trend. This instagram is just perfection, and the color she's wearing is the Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm in Shameless.

I was planning on getting some dark lipsticks sooner, but I think I was afraid that I would look like a clown or that my mom would wonder what the heck I was doing with dark lipstick on. Plus, I just can't get to a drugstore while I'm at school, and that's that.

While I was home on Thanksgiving break, I stopped by Harmon to pick up the makeup remover wipes I needed, and I snuck over to the Revlon section and looked into some of the dark lip colors.

The first one I got was Revlon's Super Lustrous Lipstick in Mauvy Night. I remembered seeing it as a recommendation from either EleventhGorgeous or MakeupGeek. I watched a ton of YouTube videos early on this semester to find the colors that would work for me! This color is a bit more mauve instead of just straightforward dark. I like that it's pinky-purple and a good color for me to wear while I'm transitioning into wearing dark lipsticks. It also won't scare away all the people who are used to seeing me with bare lips!

I got another Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick, but this one is even darker. The shade is called Black Cherry, and it's toopreppytofunction's go-to lipstick. I hope I love it as much as she does. It's a Creme lipstick, so there's no sparkle and it will go on nice and thick. It looks like it's going to apply beautifully.

I got one more lipstick, but it's actually in the form of a Balm Stain. I really wanted the Shameless one Olena had, but my drugstrore was out of it and I thought it would be too purple for my skintone. Instead, I picked up the shade Crush from the ColorBurst Balm Stain collection. This one has a teeny bit of shimmer, but the color is in between the other two lipsticks so I think it will work out really nicely.
