Best Lipsticks for Dark Skinned Woman

Hello Beauties,

No matter what ages or skin tones we are into, we all love to put on some lipsticks to conquer the world. For me, lipstick is that only makeup that I never mind wearing any day.

Being a sister of a gorgeous dark lady, I can realize the struggle of finding the right lipstick color for a woman with Melanin-rich skin. My sister literally found it a task when it comes to buy a lipstick for herself.

So, today in this post I’m going to help all the dark skin beauties to find the perfect lip shade to compliment their skin tones.

Yes, I have jotted down a list of lipsticks that will look striking on any dusky beauties out there.

I will be sharing a list of 10 lipstick shades in 5 categories such as Nude, Pink, Red, Purple, and Wine (2 lipsticks in each category). So, let’s get started!
