How To Wear Black Lipstick As Well As Kendall

Designers pull out all of the stops when it comes to making their visions come to life on the runway, and this top model has been asked to wear a variety of different styles. Kendall Jenner rocked a black lip at the Christian Dior fashion show because there really isn’t anything she can’t pull off. From going blonde for Balmain to majorly darkening things up for Dior, Jenner’s prepared to do whatever a designer asks of her, which is probably part of the reason she’s in such high demand.

She managed to make this dark lip look super chic rather than overly vampire-y, which is quite an accomplishment, IMO. The idea of wearing black lipstick isn’t anything new, it’s just something I’ve never been brave enough to try it out. Brown shades are trendy at the moment, and KJ's giving me a ton of dark lip inspo, so I’m thinking it may be time to give this bold beauty move a try.

I think the key to the success of her look is the sleek shine of the lippie. It’s not matte, which is how black lipstick is typically worn, I feel. A matte finish gives this already somber color an even more serious tone. Instead of going that route, Jenner’s lips have a subtle shine, making this a bit more light and fun. So it’s a great way to make a statement, but not in a Count Dracula kind of way, you know what I mean?

How amazing is this color on her? The fact that the rest of her makeup is minimal also really helps this already dramatic statement keep from being too over the top.

Here's an even closer view of those lips. I'm feeling this whole shiny black pout thing.
