From the runways to Camilla Belle and Lana del Rey’s dark lips at the Met Ball, the darkest hues of lip color are popping up everywhere. Even Jennifer Lopez pulled out the look on the red carpet for a premiere of What To Expect When You’re Expecting, this past week. No bright pinks, corals or phosphorescent oranges this spring-summer season, it’s all about how dark your lips can take you.
The key to sporting the black cherry lip trend is to have a clean, nude face. Pick a shade that complements your skin tone. For example, pinky berry tones highlight fair skin, while more of a brick red hue livens up a golden/olive skin tone.
