i remember a time when i used to love dark lipstick from afar… i was obsessed with makeup, collected it, but never wore it. as i got older that slowly started to change, and now i can say that i embrace darker lips with open arms (and a bit of reapplication). fall is around the corner, and the season of berry lips is upon us. it’s time to rejoice and get stocked up. i tend to stick to wearing jeans, a white sweater and lip or all black… a.k.a. sometimes i really go for it if i’m in the mood. when using berry lipstick, lipliner or primer is your best friend. seriously. fading, smudging, lipstick on your face, etc. are a few looks which aren’t exactly top-notch. let’s not forget about getting it on your teeth, which i have been a victim of (wipe off the inside of your lips or lick the inside of your lips to create a “barrier” of sorts.
