We still can't get enough of dark lips. Who would, when it's an easy alternative for days when a red lip is too bright and that #MLBB lipstick is just too pale. But plums tend to scare people off. When done wrong, you can look too gothic or a little too early for Halloween. So here are 10 berry shades you an easily pull off and a simple guide on how to choose your perfect shade.

Tip #1: Decide on a shade. Are you going for cool hues or warm tones? Swatch and see which shade will complement your skin, not wash you out or overwhelm your face.
Tip #2: Line your lips. Unless you want a feathered look, swipe some lipliner on the edges of your smoochers to avoid lipstick bleeding.
Tip #3: Add some shimmer on the center of your lips to add more dimension. This is best for girls who have thin lips. It will give you the illusion of a fuller pout.
