First things first...

Black women wear makeup.  I know, shocker.  I say this because you might not know that we do, since all of your best fashion mags and makeup brands prefer a white canvas to display their product.  No big, we live in a world of default white but hopefully one day we'll move away from that.  In any event, I think it's important for women of all shades to be able to see what their makeup looks like on models that look them before they go into their favorite makeup shop, pick up that tube they've been lusting after and then realize it makes them look like ghost.  Women should also be free to wear whatever shades they like as long as you look and feel good so I present to you: Black Gurlz Bold Lips!

Today's lipstick is MAKEUP FOREVER Rouge Artist Intense Number 46 with MAC Currant Lip Liner.  I like the layer of a dark red liner over a red lip because it brings the brightness down while still maintaining intensity.
