Blackened matte red lips were my “going out” lip color in the mid-’90s, as well as I still lurve them, however back then I couldn’t just whip out a matte red tube of magic from my makeup bag, like BAM! There was a lengthy process involved.
First, I had to line my lips with a matte black eyeliner. Next, I had to fill them in with said liner, as well as surface with one, or often two, thoroughly applied layers of my red lipstick du jour.

On the occasions when the lipstick wasn’t matte sufficient for me, I would then dust a layer of loose matte powder on top.
I knew I had it ideal when I looked like a vampire ? who’d just eaten a few people for dinner however forgot to wipe her lips.
