Darker Skin Tones, For Day
According to Soliz, bold is the name of the game for darker-skinned ladies. "The deeper the skin tone, the more color your lips can hold," he says. That means you have a wider selection of colors that will look great with your complexion than those with pale or olive skin. In particular, deep burgundies, blood reds, and wines (anyone else just get the urge to belt out "Red, Red Wine"? No? Just us then).

For daytime or a more subtle look, Soliz likes Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey (on Crystal), Lancôme Rouge In Love Lipcolor in Fiery Attitude, Laura Mercier Crème Smooth Lip Colour in Sienna, and Clinique Colour Surge Butter Shine Lipstick in Raspberry Rush.
