Occult Dark Lipsticks

This Midnight Liquid Lipstick by Anastasia Comes in a Near Black Shade

— September 19, 2015 — Fashion
The all-new Anastasia liquid lipstick in the shade Midnight is an unconventional black hue that offers a vampy, occult look. The lipstick comes in a matte finish that is ideal for fans of darker shades looking to experiment with bold colors.

Black lipstick is often a shade you see used in Halloween and detailed costume makeup looks rather than a staple color in a person's collection, however this Anastasia shade is looking to change all that with a bold formula, sleek packaging and high pigmentation payoff. The color is a rich black hue that is extremely opaque and offers up to six hours of wear time. The lip color may be bold, but it is a unique choice for those interested in richer shades that are ideal for winter and fall.
Trend Themes
1. Unconventional Lipstick Shades - There is room for innovation in the beauty industry to explore darker lipstick shades and matte finishes.
2. Bold Beauty Experimentation - Consumers who are interested in more unconventional beauty products are willing to try new colors and finishes to make a statement.
3. Long-wearing Makeup - There is a growing demand for makeup that can provide long wear times without the need for touch-ups.
Industry Implications
1. Beauty - Beauty companies can innovate by creating bold and unconventional lipstick shades and long-wearing formulas.
2. Cosmetics Packaging - Cosmetic packaging companies have an opportunity to design sleek packages that complement the bold and unconventional shades of makeup products.
3. Costume and Special Effects Makeup - Makeup companies that specialize in costume and special effects makeup can expand their target market by creating products with unique finishes and pigmentation, such as unconventional lipstick shades.
