RE: BuzzFeed APPLICATION COLOR MY COLORED LIPS

Let’s be honest, our skin color, like lipstick shades, are not created equal. So it only makes sense that it can be difficult to find the right one to commit to throughout the day. Here are some bold, brave and beautiful shades for all the sexy chocolates out there.

BERRY BERRY BEAUTIFUL

Berry shades will never fail a colored-girl! Red is a timeless berry color that doubles as the easiest shade to compliment almost everything you wear.

But don’t be afraid to take it to darker fruity tones too.

Whether lighter or darker shades of berry, you can give your lips a pop of chic without being too loud. It’s a settle way to effortlessly make a statement. Consider it as that great grab-and-go color that lives in your purse. In class, at the office and later on for a night on the town, the blacker the berry… you know the rest.

SHINE BRIGHT LIKE A DIAMOND

You don’t catch too many sistas in the perfect shades of pink and orange. Sometimes the color feels too loud or obnoxious, and the texture of the stick doesn’t help either.

A simple trick: Tone down your outfit with darker colors so it doesn’t look so busy in coordination with your lips. And if you find the bright color does compliment your outfit, make sure your jewelry plays a complimentary role to accent and not overpower your lips.

NUDE ATTITUDE

You know you’re doing nude colors right if two things happen: either your natural lip color looks more even, or your lips have a pouty shade that makes you look oh so kissable!

VAMP IT UP!

The hottest trend in edgy-looking lips is by far the vampire inspired colors. Your mocha and dark chocolate skin will seem to glow like Edward from Twilight while wearing these fierce shades. Dark purples, browns and even gray tones can give you the look of ultimate edge.

Tip: Pairing vamped lips with dark eye shadow can take the look to a whole new level, and make the lip color stand out even more!

BOLD & BLACK

And if you’re bold enough to take the chance, black undoubtedly provides the ultimate vampire look to your lips!
