Black Women Share How They Rock Bold Lip Colors


Lipstick is warpaint and the women who rock them boldly are always ready for war.

I love seeing women of all shades rocking bold lips. And depending on your undertone, it can be difficult to find the bold lip that best suits the color of your skin. A pretty pout can elevate any look, whether it's matte or glossy. Fun fact: If I'm making a shameless, late night Target run, I put on my favorite bold lip so I don't look as ratchet as I actually am. While chapstick and lip gloss is cute and all, take a chance by making a bold statement with your lips.

We rounded up some bold warpaint queens that kill it effortlessly. Check out how they rock their looks!

"When it comes to my lipstick, I prefer to be spontaneous! Enough planning goes into my day, so lipstick is one of the things I'd rather get to be more playful with. I don't try to 'match' my makeup look or outfit. Instead, I simply complement my mood. If I'm feeling bold, I'll reach for my most vibrant lipsticks—they go on and stay on!"

"How do I rock bold colors? Naturally."

"Fenty Beauty's 'Midnight Wasabi is my favorite! Not only is it a delicious shade of my favorite color, green, but it's the perfect balance between a bold color, rich formula, and gentle tone. I can wear it knowing I'm rocking the best of both worlds; professional and casual."

"Bold is beautiful and I encourage every woman to try out a bold lip color and pair it with a natural makeup look. I tend to rock bold lip colors either with a day makeup look or either with a bright eyeshadow look. The key to rocking bold lip color is to layer the lip gradually until you achieve the intensity of the lip color you desire. Also, line the lip with either a dark brown lip pencil or a burgundy lip liner. Another key is the bold lip must not overpower the entire look but it must complement it."

"My favourite is lip pencil is MAC Cosmetics Currant. I wear a lot of liquid matte lipstick due to it intensity and pigment. My current favorite is from Pierre Rene London [in] 08 Crimson Red and Makeup Geek Cosmetics' Beauty Queen."
