In order for your dark lipstick to be dazzling, you need to keep in mind a few simple secrets that will make the application flawless.
To show off your vampy lips, make sure your makeup base is flawless.
If you opt for a matte lipstick, your face is recommended to be fresh and shiny, while if you apply a glossy one the complexion should be matte.
Avoid blush as rosy cheekbones do not go well with vampy lips. But in case you can’t do without some color on your cheeks, use a soft natural shade.

Depending on your skin tone, there are some lipstick shades that flatter you more, while others may make you look paler. So find the perfect one and make a striking vampy lip makeup look.
In case your skin tone is yellowish or olive-colored, warm dark shades, such as red, suit you best. Again, if you have a cool tone, go for purple lipsticks.
A deep red merlot shade suits you well and gives extra glamour to your alabaster skin. Perfect for your eye makeup, choose an eyeshadow in pale peach or lavender and add a thin line of eyeliner.
A matte purple lipstick will create an enchanting contrast with the blue undertone of your ivory foundation. As for the rest of your makeup, keep it simple with a light contour and some eye shadow.
In order to accentuate the peachy undertones of your skin, opt for bright purple lip color. For example, violet accentuates your warm tones and your lasting tan. If you even add some iridescent eyeshadow to the center of your lips, the effect will be even juicier.
Berry-colored lips are very flattering. So, pick an oxblood lipstick shade with a little red instead of purple and accentuate your warm sun-kissed skin without looking yellowish.
If you are darker-skinned, you should use deep purples and blue-based reds. For dark lips, such as purple or dark chocolate brown. These colors will look good on your skin tone. The color should match your undertones. If you have a warm undertone, use shades of brown. If you have cool undertones, use blue-based reds instead. You can add some lip gloss over the lipstick to keep it from drying out during the day if needed.
