Makeup artist predicted it, top beauty editors reported it, and designers like Missoni, Donna Karan, and Gucci stormed the fall 2012 shows with the it… fall’s 2012 beauty look… nude eyes, strong brows, oxblood nails, shiny cheeks, and the return of the sexy dark pout. So nice to see you again, darling.

To prepare your lips for the dark lip trend {and for your wedding day!} your lips should be in perfect condition. Unlike pinks or nudes, dark lipsticks will accent dry and peeling lips. Just like the rest of your face, your lips need proper care to stay soft and youthful looking. I am a true fan of exfoliating… yup, even my lips. Use a lip scrub like Bliss’ Fabulips Sugar Lip Scrub. This sugar scrub gently removes away roughness, peeling skin, and it tastes good, too. Before bed, I use Kiss Me Tonight by Philosophy. It keeps my lips moisturized, line free, and kissable..of course!
