1 Exfoliate and moisturize your lips. Black lipstick will roll off faster than other lipstick colors. To prevent this, you must prepare your lips to apply lipstick. Make sure you remove any flakes from your lips and moisturize them to keep them soft and supple. She should also apply black lipstick to chapped lips.

• Exfoliate your lips with a soft toothbrush or use a lip scrub.
• Moisturize your lips with a nourishing balm or coconut oil.

2 Apply lip liner. Apply black pencil along the contour of the lips, giving them the desired shape. Contouring will help your lipstick last longer and not run out. Without a liner pencil, black lipstick can spread beyond your lips and ruin your look.

• If you don't have black lip liner, you can use black eyeliner.
• Always use a pencil that is slightly darker than your lipstick color.

3 Apply lipstick. It is best to apply black lipstick with a special lip brush. So she can get into all the tiny folds on the lips. Take the lipstick with a lip brush (or any other small brush), then carefully apply the lipstick to your lips.

• After you are done, smile at your reflection in the mirror. Fill in any remaining wrinkles.
• Hold the cotton swab with your hand in case you accidentally go outside the loop.

4 Apply a second coat. This will make your lipstick last longer throughout the day. You can paint on the second layer directly with lipstick, without using a brush. Take a look at yourself in the mirror to make sure the lipstick is being applied neatly.

5 Apply lip gloss on top. Black lipstick can look simple enough, so add some gloss to your lips. The gloss will add volume to your lips. It also protects the lipstick from spreading and rolling.

6 Keep black lipstick handy so you can touch up your lips if needed. If you eat or drink something, you will have to reapply the lipstick. When black lipstick wears off, it looks gray and dull, so you will need to touch up your lips at least once a night.

Method 2 of 3: Pairing Black Lipstick with Makeup

1. 1 Your face should look clean and natural. Black lipstick attracts attention and you don't have to put on too much makeup. Create natural-looking makeup with a foundation that perfectly matches your skin tone. Use just a drop of blush or bronzer to avoid overloading your makeup.
2. 2 Use black eyeliner to balance your makeup. Eyes without contour will look “naked” against the background of black lips. You do not need bright eye makeup, mascara and pencil will be enough. Try cat eye makeup, or simply outline the lower and upper eyelids.
   • Use black eyeliner to match the color of your lipstick. A different pencil color can overwhelm the makeup.
   • Do not apply a thick layer of pencil or use smoky eye makeup. It will look like bruises under your eyes or you will look like a goth.
3. 3 Apply some colored eyeshadow. A little color will make your face brighter, as dark colors look a little darker. Apply a thin layer of shimmery eyeshadow to the corners of the eyes or to the arrows. For a bolder look, apply shimmery eyeshadow to the lower lids.
4. 4 Try a dark plum or berry lipstick. There are many other options out there if you want to darken your lips but don't want to use black lipstick. Dark purple, red, brown lipstick is much easier to wipe off than black lipstick.All dark lipsticks must be applied with the same care as black lipsticks, as flaky lips are more noticeable on dark lipsticks than on light ones.
   • Remember to exfoliate and moisturize your lips first.
   • Use a lip liner that is darker than your lipstick color.
   • Apply lipstick in two coats and top with lip gloss, if desired.
5. 5 Add a shimmery layer for evening makeup. If you want to add shimmer to your black lipstick, try applying a layer of shimmery lip gloss on top. Your lips will sparkle when lit in a bar, club, or wherever you are. Since it looks more like holiday makeup, only use it for special occasions that require a matching outfit.

Method 3 of 3: Pairing Makeup with Clothes and Accessories

1. 1 In the wintertime, match this makeup with jewelry with dark stones. Black lipstick will look great with dark stones in jewelry in late autumn and throughout the winter. Such stones as blue sapphire, red ruby, green emerald or dark fuchsia will look gorgeous. Try dark lipstick with the following ensembles:
   • Navy blue corduroy dress with black lace trim.
   • Green silk blouse paired with a black pencil skirt.
   • Red coat and black high boots.
2. 2 Pair black lipstick with neon colors for summer. You don't have to use black lipstick only in winter. She looks fabulous in summer too. Black lipstick looks irresistible in combination with colored neon shades; the contrast looks very attractive. If you like neon, try the following pairings with black lipstick:
   • Neon yellow dress and black strappy heeled sandals.
   • Hot pink glasses and a thin black dress.
   • Dress with neon print and accessories in black.
3. 3 Pair black lipstick with a conservative outfit. It's fun to surprise people with a combination of black lipstick and a traditional outfit that's usually paired with pink lip gloss. If you are in a playful mood and want to create a different look, try the following combinations:
   • Sky blue sweater and white tennis skirt.
   • White button-down blouse and smart jeans.
   • Pink sundress and black flat shoes.
4. 4 Become an absolute goth. Why not go all the way? Use black lipstick as part of a style that says "Look, but don't touch me." If you love black, don't hold back: pair your black lipstick with one of the following looks:
   • Black dress, skirt, jacket, or black jeans.
   • Black Fishnet Tights and Boots looks
   • Black and red or black and pink checkered patterns.
   • Dye your hair black, paint your nails with black polish, etc.

Tips

• Use black eyeliner if you can't find a black lip liner.
• If you have thin lips, use a black pencil to outline a little outside of them (but not too far, because you don't want to look like a clown!). If you have full lips, you can skip the lip liner.
• If you wear black lipstick in public, make sure you feel confident and comfortable when people are looking at you!
