Black lips...I know what you may be thinking. Who on earth would wear black lipstick? Why is everyone going so crazy over this new fall trend? Well rest assured that although brands like MAC and Urban Decay are coming out with black lip products, it doesn't mean that you'll have to go around with black lips just to be in style this season.
Fall trends usually bring about dark lips; wines, burnt reds, and plums. These black lipsticks and glosses are amazing for deepening lip colors that you may already have. So very versatile, these can alter the color of your lipsticks making them perfect for fall.
For a softer change, go with a black gloss like MAC's Blackware Glimmerglass. For a more bold change go for a lipstick like MAC's Black Knight lipstick or Urban Decay's Oil Slick lipstick.

I love your different ideas for the look!
Today I used Urban Decay's Oil Slick on the lip (because it's a sheer black) and put Blackfire gloss on top. You could barely see the sparkles in it, but it was a nice effect.
This is a really handy post - thanks :)
