Fall is the time of year that your inner vampy girl can shine, since the season welcomes all of the dark hues in the cosmetics world. Hello VAMPY LIPSTICKS! Yes ladies, it’s safe to break out your best vampy lipstick and show the world the window to the darkest parts of your soul. Although I won’t throw any shade your way if you choose to wear a dark lip all year long, I wear some of mine in the summer.
What’s there not to love about deep lipstick shades? After all, vampy lips look great on virtually any skin tone, with a long list of hues to choose from. From burgundy, to violet, to marsala, there is a vampy lip that every darkened heart desires. They also come in all kinds of textures and finishes, but I tend to opt for matte finishes in my collection.
I have to admit, I have a pretty big collection of vampy lipstick colors, and I’ve put together my must-have list for you to check out.
