Black & Red Lip FOTD

Hello Divas,


Check out my face of the day wearing black & red lips. My look was inspired by Erin of Makeup Fiend. I really liked her looks and she had me shopping my stash to try them out. LOL!  I'm trying to really embrace these two lip colors for fall and I need your honest opinion on how they look on me. So without further delay here is my classic look paired with a black and red lip.

I love the looks! You probably wouldn't wear them everyday, but I like the change- or variety. :)

I really like the red...very old school retro and classy. The black I don't love it but I don't hate it either. I think you carry it well.

of course I am the oddball here because that dark lip is GORGEOUS on you! I really do like it. I think you can do both but the black one really looks nice with your features.
