Vamp Lips Pt. 1 : Black

One of the hottest beauty trends right now is a vampy lip. It’s a sexy, bold look. When wearing a vamp lip try to keep the rest of your makeup simple and casual which will make the lip really pop. We would advise applying the lipstick with a brush so you have more control and clean lines. This is part one of four and we will focus on black vamp lips first. Here are some of what we think to be the best lip products to create a black vamp lip…
