10 Pictures Of Bold Lipstick Looks In Case You’re Wondering How To Pull It Off

A statement lip is the easiest way to create a more interesting makeup look – just take your favourite colour with you during the day and you can go from day-to-night in seconds! Long gone are the days of my youth where it was a struggle finding adequate shades and finished – I remember spending months searching for a matte neon orange, before settling on MAC’s Morange (this is not matte). Then there was that summer when everyone was really into lilac lipstick, but the only one on the market was a shiny, pink-toned Barry M one with nowhere near enough pigment for a bold lip. Thankfully, it’s now a lot easier to find the lipsticks for a bold lip in high-street and high-end makeup lines. However, if you are a bit more wary of trying out a bold lip, we’ve compiled some pictures here for inspiration! Pair with a bare face, a slick of mascara, liner, and brow gel to really make that bold lipstick pop:

1. Black Lips

Black lips look great with a slight tan, as this offsets the gothic vibes of the lip and makes it a bit more modern. It is a fantastic shade on darker skin tones, too!

2. Burgundy Lips

A bold lip like this pairs really well with a glossy eye and an otherwise bare face, creating a fresher take on the vampy lip just in time for summer!

5. Gold Highlight

Switch up your bold lipstick with a golden cupid’s bow! Use a metallic eye shadow or liner (kohl or liquid) to achieve this look (if you wet the shadow it will last longer).

6. Smudged, Glossy Red Lip

An updated red lip is glossy and smudged around the edges! The smudgeyness makes it easier to wear, too, as you don’t need to be as worried about it wearing off during the day.

This look may not be the most wearable or easiest to do, but it looks amazing:

8. Metallic Lips

This is one of the biggest looks of the season, and a world away from the chunky metallic of the early 00s (the technology used to create the metallic glitter has advanced so that we can get a finer mill on it now, making for a smoother metallic look):
