Nothing else. No eyes, brows, or cheeks. She really knocked it out of the ball park. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-blondes-darker-lipstick-ok-for-us#post-418090 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 21:38:47 +0000 chewyspaghetti 418090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We just went to see Super 8 last night, and the girl in it has blonde hair and wears a dark lipstick with an otherwise clean face. It looks really good on her and she is very pale, but she is a teenager and could probably look good in anything. I do seem to be seeing that dark lips/nude face look again. It's quite dramatic, but I like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-blondes-darker-lipstick-ok-for-us#post-418087 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 21:36:13 +0000 annagybe 418087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm blonde and sometimes I wear dark lipsticks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-blondes-darker-lipstick-ok-for-us#post-418029 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 20:15:57 +0000 teri 418029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a hard time wearing dark or red lipsticks.

Very purpose-specific formulas and colors. Her Sinner line (opaque pigment) are far more moisturizing than other opaque lipsticks.

It's universally flattering, as mentioned above.

I'm 47, I have warm colouring and am fair skinned, grey/blue eyes, and reddish-blonde hair. I tend to wear it over lip balm so it's very sheer. nancylee is right, the older you get, the harder it is to wear dramatically dark colours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-blondes-darker-lipstick-ok-for-us#post-417847 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 16:22:25 +0000 nancylee 417847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I echo Dresslover's Clinique "Black Honey" suggestion. A friend of mine opened my eyes to this brand in the late 80's (!) and I still keep it on hand today.</p> <p>That said, I think dark lipstick looks better on young blondes than on those of use who are past 45. Unless it's part of a calculated and very cultivated style, it can look quite garish and aging on older skin. Like you I have brown (hazel) eyes, blonde hair and warm coloring. But since I've gotten older I stay away from dramatic dark lip color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-blondes-darker-lipstick-ok-for-us#post-417789 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 14:47:11 +0000 DressLover 417789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you are not used to a darker lipstick, you will definitely get a shock when you first see it on your face. This usually scares women back to their comfort zone where they stay with pinks, peaches, and nudes and shun reds and darker colors. For this reason, I recommend a "training wheel" color to help you transition and get acclimated to the look. </p> <p>I would check out Clinique's infamous Black Honey Almost Lipstick. There is a reason most women have owned a tube. It is as close to universally flattering a cosmetic can get and the sheer berry color is a very good stepping stone for easing into darker lip colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-blondes-darker-lipstick-ok-for-us#post-417781 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 14:34:40 +0000 dollydrone 417781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i think dirty blonds can look beautiful and high fashion in plum shades! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-blondes-darker-lipstick-ok-for-us#post-179791 Mon, 05 Jul 2010 19:27:33 +0000 taylor 179791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, I was going to mention R&amp;J, Angie and Jenny wear reds. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-blondes-darker-lipstick-ok-for-us#post-179788 Mon, 05 Jul 2010 19:25:09 +0000 April 179788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hoping Jenny will weigh in as well, since I think she is a fan of darker lipstick (or at least, red lipstick). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-blondes-darker-lipstick-ok-for-us#post-179778 Mon, 05 Jul 2010 18:47:19 +0000 RoseandJoan 179778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do like a darker lipstick every now and then, as a teenager I wore Rimmel Black Cherry lipstick with nothing more than a sweep of mascara. I found it most flattering if I patted a little of the colour onto balmed lips for a stain of colour. Revlon has just introduced a very similar shade which I am tempted to try<br /> <a href="http://beaut.ie/blog/?p=6260" rel="nofollow">http://beaut.ie/blog/?p=6260</a><br /> Dusky wine does sound tempting, if you are wanting to add a touch of drama.</p> <p>Edit: my hair is a darker shade of blond than yours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-blondes-darker-lipstick-ok-for-us#post-179742 Mon, 05 Jul 2010 16:24:58 +0000 fathenry 179742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I typically wear peachy lip gloss and rosy pink lip stick so anything beyond that looks darker to me on my own face. I guess I better go to a makeup counter </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-blondes-darker-lipstick-ok-for-us#post-179731 Mon, 05 Jul 2010 15:59:53 +0000 Angie 179731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It depends how dark, Fathenry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-blondes-darker-lipstick-ok-for-us#post-179723 Mon, 05 Jul 2010 15:46:46 +0000 fathenry 179723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi there, Question for the fair-skinned blondes out there.</p> <p>I've noticed that darker lipstick is coming back. I was thumbing through the Anthropologie catalog and most of the models are wearing a dusky wine color. </p> <p>I'm curious if any of you have tried a darker shade and what shades you might recommend?</p> <p>I have dark blond hair, fair skin and brown eyes so I tend to wear warmer makeup tones. </p> <p>I would love any lipcolor recommendations that have worked for those with similar coloring? </p> <p>Thanks in advance! </p>
