It’s Halloween & I’ll Wear Black Lipstick If I Want To

You guys I have a confession…I fucking love black lipstick! And not like I need an excuse to wear it…but it’s Halloween, and I’ll wear black lipstick if I want to! But seriously, why isn’t black lipstick more acceptable. I mean I think I proved here and here that it can look freaking AWESOME when it’s worn right! I’m going to take advantage of the fact that it’s Halloween and pull out this black lipstick ((that only costs $3 BTW)) at least 2 or 3 more times.

Instead of keeping it plain black I figured I would layer it with metallic gunmetal liquid lipstick since I kept the rest of my face pretty matte, and I feel in love with it. I mean even if you wouldn’t wear black lipstick yourself you can’t deny how cool this layered lip looks!

So what do you think…would you wear black lipstick? I say if you’re going to give it a try there’s no better time to do it than around Halloween!
