Practical tips to make a dark lipstick look lighter

1. Apply Lip Balm First

• Start with a moisturising lip balm to create a barrier.
• This softens the pigment, so it goes on more sheer when you apply your dark lipstick.

2. Use a Nude or Light Lipstick on Top

• Apply your dark lipstick first.
• Then dab a nude, peach, or light pink lipstick over it and blend with a lip brush or finger.

3. Mix with Concealer or Foundation

• On the back of your hand, mix a small amount of your dark lipstick with a dab of concealer or foundation.
• Apply the blended shade for a toned-down version of your dark colour.

4. Dab with Tissue for a Sheer Stain

• Apply the dark lipstick, then blot gently with a tissue.
• Repeat until you get the lightness you want — this creates a softer, stained look.

5. Highlight the centre of the Lips

• After applying dark lipstick, put a bit of highlighter or light eyeshadow in the centre of your lips.
• Blend outward — this brightens and softens the whole look.

6. Add a Gloss

• A clear or light pink gloss will diffuse the dark pigment, making the shade appear softer and lighter.
