DARK is beautiful! Lighten up, ladies! It’s completely okay to have dark lips. In a healthy person, skin colour, including the colour of the lips, is determined primarily by genetics and sun exposure. Though, you can further enhance your beauty by wearing a lip shade that complements your skin. Don’t forget, looking beautiful is about being comfortable in your own skin and choosing products or clothes that are the best suitable match for you. So here, we bring to you Top 10 Lipstick for dark lips. Pro Tip: Hey, hey! Before you go on to buy these beauties, remember to avoid sheer lipsticks and lip tints. Look for intense colour lipsticks with high-pigmentation. And use a dab of compact powder or foundation on your lips before applying the lipstick to make your lip colour pop! Happy shopping, ladies 🙂
