The Black Lips


After some inspiration from our friend Tavi, I needed to try black lipstick. I actually like it. Not in the freaky-costumey way either. I think I might wear it all the time if I didn't get so many stares. When I was walking to take these pictures I passed a guy that I went to elementary school with and saying hi was quite awkward- I think he thought I turned all wacko-goth-chick. Nooo, I just like black lipstick. It doesn't mean I've thrown out the pink, I just like black too. Sadly, some people do find this hard to understand. I did mine by smudging a soft black liner pencil over my lips, then smoothing it out with nude-ish clear shimmer lipgloss, which worked out great in my opinion. (Because, surprise surprise, I don't have black lipstick.) Tavi might rock it a touch better than I do, but oh well, that is to be expected.

    Such a hard look to pull off but you styled it perfectly to avoid the goth look! - WMS.

    The round glasses compliment the lip color perfectly! I just recently read Tavi's post, it was fabulous! You're a good risk taker for doing this! lots of love from your follower, Veena <3
