Re: light lipstick on dark lips

you can try using your foundation on your lips before applying the lipstick

and u also try lip primer and concealer for that.......its help alot to get sum nude aur pink colour coz many desi women have this problem...

Re: light lipstick on dark lips

Hmm...

You can apply chapstick before lipstick. That helps me.

Ive also seen lip primers...dont know how well they work though or what brand to use.

I love light lipsticks...pale pinks, nudes, love them!

Apply a lip balm and leave it on for 10 mins and scrub u're lips with a baby toothbrush (I swear by this!) and wipe off.. apply fluid foundation and blot u're lips with a tissue. Apply u're favorite light color (fill u're entire lip with the same colored lip pencil) top it up with clear gloss.
