The latest cosmopolitan lip trend that we spotted plastered across the runways of the upcoming Spring/Summer season? Dark AF lips that are worthy of Fairuza Balk. See above: a slightly mauve-y take on it that was messily applied on the lips of models at Rick Owens to vampy, reds at Jil Sander. After all, if it’s good enough for cool girls like Kaia Gerber and the Hadid sisters – who all paraded down the Max Mara runway in a utilitarian uniform of grey schoolboy shorts and shirts, plaited hair and dark lips (a la Wednesday Addams) – surely it’s good enough for us.
Read on for our curation of the best dark lipsticks that will both make a bold statement against fair skin and complement darker skin tones at the same time.

Two things that make a lipstick so great are mashed together in this Estee Lauder one – glitter and lip-loving ingredients.

This pick from Laura Mercier is said to have a six-hour vibrancy without bleeding, feathering, drying, fading or settling into lines. Infused with Mediterranean sea algae extract, this one has a moisturising formula that smoothens the lip surface to create the perfect canvas for pigment to go on.
Nars Special Deco Audacious Lipstick in Nancy, $46

Inspired by the iconic punk fashion of the 1970s, Nars’ iconic Audacious lipstick receives a revamp of a studded silhouette that was popular during that era. Like its packaging, here lies a deep plum shade that matches shades used at Max Mara.
