If you're looking to master the art of dark lip neutralization, you're in the right place. Whether you're a beginner or simply eager to refine your techniques, this guide will help you understand the essentials of choosing pigments and utilizing color theory. Let's dive in and explore how to transform dark lips into stunning, natural hues.

What is the Role of Colour Theory in Dark Lips?

Colour theory is a fundamental aspect of dark lip neutralization. By understanding how different colors interact, you can effectively neutralize unwanted tones and achieve the desired lip color. As a general rule, each client is unique and the end result of lip blushing depends heavily on their skin tone and complexion.

Dark lips often come with their own, unique pigmentation. Consider the natural hue as a base, determining whether it needs to be neutralized or enhanced. The art is in working with the canvas, not against it. Beyond the lips, consider the overall undertones of your client’s skin. Whether they’re warm, cool, or neutral can impact how the lip blush interacts with the skin, contributing to the overall cohesiveness of the look.
