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.
