Darker Skin Tones, For Night
Many women with larger lips tend to be scared of wearing color, simply because they think it will be overwhelming on them. Gilbert says this is so not true — on the contrary, it will accentuate and highlight your gorgeously lush lips. If you're not comfortable with drawing so much attention to your mouth, Gilbert says you can shrink the size (although we wish you wouldn't — embrace that amazing pout!) by using a darker liner to contour, which adds dimension to the lips and minimizes their size. Conversely, if your lips are on the smaller side, he says to avoid matte or too-dark shades because they will make your mouth look even smaller. Instead, choose sheer or glossy formulas — the reflective qualities will give the illusion of more volume, making your mouth appear larger.

In terms of your ideal nighttime colors, Soliz likes Dior Addict Extreme Lipstick in Belisima (on Crystal), Guerlain Rouge G de Guerlain Jewel Lipstick Compact in Greta 22, and NARS Lipstick in Afghan Red.
