Dark lipstick shades are our favorite this time of year because they let us channel witchy vibes and play with vamp makeup looks with just a few swipes. From deep burgundy to shades of brown and purples so dark they almost appear black, dark lipstick has the ability to instantly add edge to any makeup routine. Ahead, we’ve rounded up thirteen vampy hues from L’Oréal Paris to have you feeling all types of witchy ways.
