My love of dark lips first started when I was watching music videos of mary j blige, aaliyah, tlc and other divas of r&b and hip hop. Early 90's was a great time for the dark lip.
Other inspirations came from Drew Barrymore post poison ivy pixie cut phase
and of course, Nancy from The Craft
I'm not so into the whole gothic look, since it has trickled down into stores like Forever 21, and has been popularized by girls who move to New York and buy combat boots to wear to class at nyu to look edgy.
That being said, I do like me a dark lip. The only one I own is a Mac lipstick in the color Diva
This is my perfect shade of dark plum/berry and looks amazing with any outfit. Just don't wear eyeliner or you'll look like you're trying too hard!
Another lip that I love is Mac Media lipstick. Here is the supermodel Chanel Iman below:
instant attitude without looking like taylor momsen
I'm kind of sad that I found this out late in the season, as I could have been rocking my dark lip in October. But if we run into eachother out at night, you will def see me wearing a dark lip!
