This winter the only lip to be seen in is the ‘Morticia Adams’. Think dark, vampy, bordering on macabre. Tis the season to do gothic – romance inspired lip shades. This lip perfectly compliments the dark vamp look that was seen in the Autumn/Winter 2009 collections.

Celebrities like Megan Fox, Rihanna, Taylor Momsen and the Olsen twins etc are leading the dark lip trend off the catwalk.

Try the yummy trend too by wearing an intense plum, burgundy, blackcurrant, blood red or dark berry shade. WARNING: This is not for the retiring wallflower, prepare to wow…

1. Urban Decay Lipstick in Confession

This deliciously dark semi-sheer burgundy lipstick is pierced with a mini dagger. The packaging is wonderfully delightful as it comes in a heavy purple metal tube, with a gunmetal dagger at end. I am addicted to this colour. I cannot wear enough off it.

2. Givenchy Rouge Interdit Lipstick in Black Plum

This is a moisturising blackish plum lipstick that brings the drama. Prepare to be a vamp vixen in this hue. How delish is the silver toned tube?

3. Chanel Rouge Allure in Obscure Dark

This Chanel lip shade is a plum with blood red undertones. I love how super sleek the packaging is. Chanel lipsticks always make a divine impact.

4.  M.A.C. Satin Lipstick in Film Noir

This colour that almost borders on being black is intense and glamorous! The shade as its name suggests is all things decadent and luxurious.
