What do you think about dark purple/red or maybe even black lipstick on paler girls? (Sorry I don't have a photo - you can post one if you like). Thanks!! 😊

So I'm super pale and at mac the mua told me that colour would look great on me (also bc of my green eyes they would stand out more) but yeah I don't think she would recommend if it would look terrible on pale skin.

I think they look great on pale skin. It's more about the undertone rather than the skin tone itseld.

I think older pale girls (not old, just a mature face) looks good with dark lips, pale or dark. Some people can and some people can't pull it off.

If its a bright red, I don't think most pale girls pull it off but a vamy/red is a perfect for pale girls

I'm quite pale and have black hair (at the moment- it always changes haha) and I feel kinda weird wearing dark lipstick. I often wear red or pink lipstick but honestly, I don't feel very comfortable with darker lipstick- it just looks so extreme combined with pale skin. But that's not the case for every pale girl, of course- it's maybe just me, because I have skin problems (acne) and I don't want people to focus on my pale acne-skin haha ;)

I actually think dark lipsticks look amazing on pale girls! But really only if the skin is livened up with bronzer, highlighter, and mascara so that it looks polished and clean :)

Dark lipstick on pale girls can make you look kind of scary no offence
