Hey Beauts! Here is a dark lip combo I really enjoyed wearing that is perfect for this time of the year! If you can't find the perfect dark lipstick that would suit your complexion I would highly recommend to get a quality long-lasting lipliner in a dark plummy shade instead. Most of us have at least one red lipstick in our make-up bag that we keep for that special occasion, and some of us even dare wearing a red lip as a casual affair. 

If you prefer a matte finish you can wear the lipliner on its own [as seen in the first image] or if you prefer a creamy finish then you can play with the red lipstick adding as much colour as you want [as seen on the second image]. Layering red lipstick on a plum lipliner creates a luscious berry shade, which is really pretty for autumn and winter. I particularly like Chanel Precision Lip Definer in 54 Amarante as a lip base filling in the entire lip [it's super long-lasting] and then working in over the top Chanel Rouge Allure in 99 Pirate! 

Either keep the lip intensely dark or brighten it up with red for a warm berry tone, whatever looks most flattering on you! Just a plum lipliner and one red lipstick will give you an endless choice of plum/berry lipstick shades. Enjoy!
