Black Lipstick
Whether you’re going for a Gothic glam or a classic style with a twist, black lipstick helps you create the perfect look. From matte to waterproof options, CVS has some of the top black lipstick brands to help you achieve your desired style.
Black Lipstick Looks and Styles
When creating black lipstick looks, decide on the look you want to achieve. Matte black lipstick can help create a more Gothic look, while glossy black lipstick gives you a bit more of a “rock star” look. If you want to go for a more natural look, try sheer black lipstick. This still gives you the drama of black lipstick without looking too harsh. If you’re feeling really bold, try a liquid, long-lasting black lipstick. This can be applied as a traditional lipstick or as a lip gloss.
What Skin Tone Does Black Lipstick Look Good On?
When it comes to choosing a lipstick color, many people tend to steer clear of black. After all, it can be a bit daunting to wear such a dark and dramatic shade. But black lipstick or lip gloss can actually look great on a variety of skin tones.
If you have fair skin, you might worry that black lipstick will make you look washed out, but that’s not always the case. A black lipstick with a matte finish can help give your skin some much-needed definition. If you have medium or olive skin, you can likely rock black lipstick. In fact, it can help to give your skin a bit of a glow. For a more natural look, try a sheer black lipstick with a bit of shine. If you have dark skin, black lipstick is a great way to make your lips and eye makeup pop. Whether you choose a matte or glossy finish, you’ll look gorgeous.
How to Choose Black Lipstick
When you're trying to select the best black lipstick for your needs and preferences, first choose the formula of the lipstick. If you have dry lips, select a formula that's hydrating and creamy. Conversely, if you have oily skin, you may want to opt for a matte lipstick. Also, think about the finish you want. Do you want a glossy or matte look? Finally, decide how durable you need your lipstick to be. If you're looking for long-wearing lipstick, choose one that's waterproof and transfer-resistant.
