Yes.
It's happening.
If you know me from working with me on photoshoots, the moment someone says "lets do something with the lips." I think.. PLUM! BERRY! DARK! I get a little too excited about it. I have a unhealthy obsession with dark lips but hey, can you blame me? It's a HOT trend. And now that Autumn is upon us (here in Aussie land) there's no excuse not to hop onboard the train to sexy-land!
In the photo above I've used MAC DIVA lipstick mixed with MAC Nightmoth lip pencil.
I think this is a good step for people who like to wear a red lip but would like to vamp up their look a little and go darker. It can totally transform you.
I personally think this is more a night time look. I like to wear a dark lip with a neutral, softer eye. Nothing too much like a smokey eye. Though if a smokey eye is your thing, go for it girl! Though I like to make it look a little more like "oh this? I just whacked it on in 5 minutes. Took no effort at all"
Nobody needs to know how long it really took you ;)

Another tip to remember when wearing a vampy lip is to go for some subtle contouring and a shade of blush that is more on the bronzed side. Something like MAC Warm Soul (Which is what I'm wearing in the photo) or if you're after something you can buy in the drug stores Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso (this one has a touch of peach in it but nothing too pink).
There are many different shades of dark lipstick you could go. There are berry, plum, wine coloured or even browner toned dark lipsticks such as this one on Camilla Belle:
