dark lipstick
Dramatic mouth color
Dark lipstick is lipstick in deep shades—burgundy, plum, black, or deep red rather than pink or nude.
The term often carries connotations of boldness, drama, or edginess: She wore dark lipstick and a leather jacket.
Dark lipstick tends to cycle in and out of fashion, associated with gothic aesthetics, vintage glamour, or autumn looks.
