Black lips? No, I’m not championing the goth look. And no, this black gloss isn’t strictly for the runway or the magazine editorial. While it is black, it just darkens the natural tone of your lips or whatever lipstick you’re wearing underneath. Blend the Sinner well into matte lipstick and you get lips with depth and dimension. Just remember that it looks better after wearing for a few minutes, once your lips have warmed up to it. Regardless, it is definitely a more extreme look, just not quite as extreme as you might expect. At Barneys New York for $22.

Pair with: Nars Pure Matte lipstick – rich, moisturizing, and ideal for layering. At Saks Fifth Avenue

for $25.
