Among the trends of the fashion shows, in addition to the nude look, another great protagonist has been and will undoubtedly be the burgundy lipstick . Dark, intense, full, it immediately gives a mysterious allure that goes well with both very light complexions , for a more vampiric look, and with dark complexions , for which certain shades can also turn out to be natural.
Like every fall, it seems cliche, but dark lipstick is the choice for simple yet effective makeup. Just a little mascara and graphic lips with plum, purple or dark red shades to create a real look, in no time. What is surprising, however, is the fact that this spring will see the trend reconfirmedof dark lips, combined with more colorful outfits and bright makeup looks. In fact, for the summer, the burgundy lips will be combined with fresh and glowy face bases, with melting and light textures for the foundation, natural contouring and illuminating wet effect, to be applied on cheekbones, forehead, chin, bridge of the nose but also on the eyes. In fact, burgundy lips will be a real must have in combination with wet eyeshadows, with super reflective particles, for an almost glossed effect. Textures in powder, pigments, or cream, the imperative is to shine.

In fact, to avoid a slightly emaciated and sickly effect, you need to evaluate your undertone:Violet and cold colors are perfect for cold complexions, burgundy, reds and warm browns are more suitable for complexions with yellow undertones. Not only very dark and intense colors, more difficult to wear and that not everyone is always able to wear with ease. To show off burgundy lips you can choose dark shades, but less saturated and full of color , preferring lighter burgundy reds, dark raspberries, pomace and leaving aside intense purples, very dark browns and reds tending to black.
Another trick for wearing dark lips is the choice of finish and method of application . In fact, it is not said that all lipsticks must be applied graphically,you can opt for a creamy or more satin lipstick , which does not completely cover the lips but gives a touch of darker color, without being too intrusive. Alternatively, try applying a small amount of lipstick to the center of the lips and tapping and blending it with your fingers until they are covered. The effect will be much more natural, almost like after eating blueberries! In the case of a more graphical application , however, the advice is to arm yourself with patience. The dark shades, in fact, do not admit mistakes, especially when it comes to liquid lipsticks. Apply the color first to the center of the lips (unload the liquid lipstick applicator well so that there is not too much product),and then proceed to outline the edges . It would be better to use a brush, to be more precise, but don’t worry! In the event of any errors and smudges, just take a cotton swab or a thin brush, dirty it with a little concealer and fix the edges. To facilitate application , you can also use a lip pencil in combination with the lipstick, with which to outline the contours so that it is easier to have a guideline and understand how far to apply the color.
