Give Your Lipstick a Underpinning

Haven't worked up the nerve to switch your neutral pink lipstick for one of this season's super-trendy vampy shades? Fear not, says Poppy King, founder of Lipstick Queen. She suggests using a black hue as a layering piece under a softer rose. "The black peeks through to give the pink shade a modern feel," she says.
