Black lipstick: sexy and bold makeup with dark lips

Lipstick is certainly one of the main items in the makeup finish and it provides a special touch. Some prefer the more neutral and discreet tones, but the brightly colored lipsticks take the lead in the look.

The red and purplish tones are prominent among the colored lipsticks, but black also has its potential. Some time ago lipsticks in this hue were seen as a fantasy item, and currently won the big brand catwalks in fashion weeks, coming to our daily lives.

This makeup detail can add an empowering touch to your look and carry on night and daytime looks. Just merge the lipstick with the right items that match the look.


Black lipstick can be instrumental in creating a smooth Goth look, but it can also compose refined looks if well matched, yet transitioning into more formal events like weddings and proms.

For the most sophisticated events, bright shadows or a smoky eye area round off the look. While for daytime and casual make-up, a simple mascara can be enough in the eye area, but not forgetting a neat skin to make the lipstick show.

To run this tutorial you will need black pencil, black eyeshadow and eyeliner. Check out the steps below:

  1. Make the lip contour using a black eye pencil.
  2. Preferably use the gel eyeliner to pigment the lips. The finish of your eyeliner will determine the matte or glossy finish on your lips. Applying a black eye shadow with your fingers can turn the glossy finish to matte.
  3. Due to the consistency of your eyeliner, it may not pigment some parts of the lips, so just correct the flaws with black eyeshadow.
