The fall runways were full of them, and it’s all we saw at the Met Ball (Camilla Belle was one of our fav’s!), but how do you feel about dark lipstick for the brighter months? Whether it’s a mulberry stain or pure slick of black, night-inspired lip tones are taking the beauty world—and Beautylish—by storm this summer. Traditionally associated as a subcultural beauty statement, dark lipstick has always been an outlandish sign of rebellion. These days however, the look is more gorgeous than gory and there are many ways to rock black lips in warm weather. We love how Iva G. pairs her inky satin lips with a sublte smoky eye, while Felipe B. creates a unique, avant-garde effect with piercing smoke-black eye makeup.
Let us know if you loathe or love the look in the comments below, and vote on whether you would rock the trend!

I love it. I have a dark lipstick that I love and it goes well with a little winged eyeliner. But I do think it depends on skin tone as well. Just like I don't find light colors to suit my olive/caramel skin tone as much.

Nothing too dark for me. The deeper the color, the more hispanic I look -__-"
