The cool thing about October being a beauty blogger is that you’re totally allowed to throw whatever on your face, whenever you want to. Not so much with the wherever, but two out of three’s not bad. And then, to top it all off, (because everyone else can technically the whatever-whenever thing,) you get to label it as “work” instead of “whimsy and a lack of impulse-control.”
Anyhow. Here’s a step-by-step photo tutorial to on gothic statement lips, aka “we already did blue and violet ages ago so let’s use red and black and maybe throw some purple in there.” Because everything is better with burgundy and violet. Everything.
Read the full tutorial (albeit with less photos and much less nonsensical rambling personality) here on She Said Beauty.
Start the look with bare lips and contoured, just-flushed cheeks…
Then give yourself an unsightly pinched mouth with lipliner (and, okay, eyeliner).
