Amazing Cosmetics Lipstick in Scarlett

Amazing Cosmetics Lipstick in Scarlett Price: $21.00 at sephora.com
Red lipsticks for dark skin are incredibly popular right now, as you shall see. A red lip is bold, sexy, and sophisticated. However, if you don’t want to go all out with a bright red, that’s no problem! Something a little darker and more dramatic like this shade will complement your skin and, because it’s a bit more subdued, you can easily wear it during the day, too.

UPD:

The Amazing Cosmetics Lipstick in Scarlett is a beautiful shade for dark skin tones. It's a deep, dramatic red that is perfect for making a bold statement. The color is subtle enough to be worn during the day, yet still stands out enough to be noticed. The formula is creamy and long-lasting, so it won't smudge or fade easily. It also has a nourishing formula that is enriched with vitamins and antioxidants, making it incredibly moisturizing. The lipstick is also free of parabens, sulfates, and phthalates, so it's safe for your skin. It's easy to apply and won't leave your lips feeling dry or chapped. With this lipstick, you can create a glamorous look that will last all day.

Look for something like this with red undertones, to really highlight your skin.
