As winter approaches, there are a few things that you can always count on: Starbucks' swapping their iconic green cups for red, ersatz Santas shilling for change outside the grocery store, and dark wine-stained lips staging a comeback.
This year's no different -- especially where the lips are concerned. Vampy lips are everywhere -- on the red carpet, on the big screen, and even on my 54-year-old mother. It seems like everyone but me has jumped on the trend. It's not that I'm being difficult, I just need a big push to get out of my safe, easy pink-and-raspberry tone zone.
If you're like me and aren't quite sure you're ready to dive in to this trend, this guide should come in very handy. It breaks down which mulberry hue is right for your skin tone and offers up product recommendations so that you can get with the wine-stained lips program before Starbucks reverts to their green cups.
