Black Lip Gloss Is Trending

Black lip gloss is trending hard, partly because people are looking to replicate the soft goth aesthetic seen in hit shows like Netflix's "Wednesday." As Milk Makeup Director of Artistry Sara Wren explained to Milk, "Black lip gloss is a fun take on the soft goth trend and a totally unexpected gloss shade that is surprisingly flattering on many skin tones." She adds that you should go easy with the application before adding more if you'd like a more intense look.

If you want to switch up your look a bit more, you can also apply your black lip gloss on top of red lipstick for an intense, moody look. For best results, begin with a small amount of lip gloss and gradually add more until it gets to the color you're looking for. You don't want to have to wipe off your liner and lipstick after applying gloss if you put on a bit too much, and you can always add more. Use just enough, and it'll be giving trendy indie sleaze aesthetic.
