Come to the dark side- the dark lip

Recently I recieved the Model Co lipstick 'vanity fair' in a subscription box. I love lippy and I'm not affraid to rock a bold look. I was really hoping for this shade to add to my collection!  


Then came trying it out. This lippy requires an entire 'look' to go with it. Initially I swiped it on whilst wearing a black top... needless to say I looked like I was going through a 'phase'. Teen angst included. So where to turn for inspo but the internet. And I sure found it! So much foxiness. 


Keys to success: 
Good coverage foundation (as flawless as possible) 
Illuminiser for some radiance/ glow
Bronzer used as blush 
Natural toned eyeshadows 
Thin if / any eyeliner (unless you are going for a gothic look)
Natural mascara (I know its hard, more is more normally but not here) 
Lip liner! Essential! I improvised using a chocolate eyeliner as a substitute 

Special tip: 
Use a highlight in your cupids bow (Its the little curve on the top of your upper lip) I used a shiny cream pencil 

The products: 



The end result: (with a filter that made it fuzzy !?) 

Side note: Personally the Model Co formula didn't rock my world, it didn't apply or wear particularly evenly. Luckily I had a Clinique 'full potential' gloss that saved the day in a similar tone. Worked beautifully on top.
