Is dark lipstick attractive?

Question

Personally I only think it looks good on lighter skin on the other hand it looks a little dirty on darker skin but I would like to hear what others think.

Dirty, what does that even mean? Women with brown skin can totally rock a dark lip. I think the only time dark lip stick might look less flattering is if the person has small lips, goes out of the line/has dry skin that pulls the color in cracks or it doesn't go well with their undertones. ex.

Dirty? Um what? lool dark lipstick suit darker skin toned people far far more often than it does lighter skin girls (which sometimes make them look like a clown).
This really doesn't look dirty to me...

I love dark lipstick. It looks awesome on darker skin as well.

I am looking hard at that picture and I don't find it attractive. Maybe if it was on a beautiful woman's lips?

I think it looks hotter on lighter skin then darker skin, also because they tend to have larger lips

I feel like it follows the same guidelines of any other lipstick color. Some people can pull it off and some people can't. You also have to remember that skin undertones may affect the look. There are cold, warm, and neutral undertones for every skin color and I haven't even started in on accessories, outfits, seasons, etc. It's all really relative and sometimes their's no way to determine how things will look until the person actually tries it out.

I mean personally, I don't think skin tone matters. Its all about the feautures. I've tried wearing dark, but it just makes me look like a clown. But I've seen girls of all skin tones slay the dark shades. So it all depends on the girl's facial features to me.

All lipstick colours are unattractive to me.

Yanika · Answer

I think more than darkness it depends on the matching lipstick undertones with skin undertone.. but yea when there is a good match, I definitely like it ;)

steveguitar · Answer

Depends how dark, but it can, it just has to go with your entire outfit or it stands out too much. But even regular lipstick can be too much.  Remember that natural lips go better with everything

Miss_Behave · Answer

Yes. I love dark lipstick, like deep berry or red wine color. I love the one in the picture your posted.

If it's done well! I see a few attempt it and it just looks awful, I think the whole look has to be fairly dramatic in order to pull it off.

bente2 · Answer

Some are. But not like this: -people that have no lips (no lipstick looks good then) -people that are shit at applying it. -red lipsticks

Dark makeup creates a more vivid contrast on lighter skin but it harmonizes well with darker. I am fair and I love wearing dark makeup ♡

I personally think it depends on the women, to me a very tan person with it so like an Italian wouldn't look as good, but someone who is Irish would look way better!

Depends on your skin tone. I think tanned and dark skins look good with such lipsticks but it's looks kinda strange on fair skinned ones.

AnaWryneck · Answer

How the shit does it look dirty? Maybe you just don't like darker skin.

Bianca31 · Answer

My pale skin doesn't give me many color options, so I always go for dark shades of lipstick.

alice55 · Answer

It can look good but depend on your skin tone. On me it look really bad but I've seen some girl who suit it good.

ilovesexyfeet · Answer

Agree it looks hot on light skin, it stands out more.

I found dark reds lips are really sexy, but some like black, dark brown, dark green colours are definitely not my cup of tea
