Winter Trend Alert: Dark Dramatic Lips

After seeing Rihanna perform at the Grammy's last night in leather shorts and almost black lips, I had to post about this winter trend popping up everywhere. These days, women are going bolder with their lip colors and nothing is hotter than the dark, vampy lipstick statement. As seen on starlets like Miranda Kerr, Megan Fox and the aforementioned Rihanna, this trend is all about making a sexy statement. I know a lot of girls will be hesitant to try this trend out because of its high drama, but isn't that where all the fun is? The dark lip has  also been seen up and down the runway at fashion week and is pure decadence. The look is versatile, ranging from deep purple violets to black cherry reds as well, and is flattering to all skin tones. To interpret this trend, I lined my lips with MAC lip pencil in Brick, filling in my entire lip. Then, I carefully filled in my lips with MAC's amplified lipstick in Dark Deed and topped it off with MAC's Richly Revered cremesheen lipgloss for that black cherry glossy finish. Keep the look dramatic and vampy with dark winged eyeliner and loads of black mascara. Pictured below is my dark and vampy LOTD. Have you tried out the dark lipstick trend?
