update your look for fall - dark lips

It's that time of year again! With back to school, back to cool (temperatures) and everything that goes with it, chances are that your summer is nearly up.

What with all the changes going on, you might want to think a minute about updating your makeup for fall '08. Fear not, my friends! One of the most stylish and current ways to update your look for fall this year is to look to the dark side - dark lip colour that is.

Dark lips are all over the place for fall. And there are some extreme examples that should be left to the catwalk (slick black patent lips, anyone?). But this dark lip trend can be totally wearable as the weather gets cooler.

An easy way to transition is to think of it as deepening the lip colours you already like to wear. Dark plums, reds and chocolate are all popular options that are right on track this season, so there are options for everyone!

You can also play with the finish to suit your comfort. Try a sheer blackberry lip stick or gloss. Blot down your dark creamy lipstick to a stain, for a hint of softness and longer-lasting colour. Or go full-on dark red, which call look especially chic at night.

Pair your dark lip look with a polished face - groomed brows, lush lashes and a hint of cheek colour to keep the complexion fresh. So pretty.
