Find the right color for your skin tone.
Do you have fair, olive, or dark skin? Take into consideration your complexion and undertone this will help you find your best color after all the skin is the backdrop for your lips. My favorite color right now is Rouge d'Armani in #604, it looks dark in the tube but looks different on my lips.
Exfoliate!
If you're like me, well then I feel sorry for you because your lips are dry as all hell sometimes. They flake and beg for lip balm. Every morning I exfoliate my lips to get rid of all the flaky areas. You can do something as simple as use a wash rag to lightly exfoliate your lips, I've heard some girls use their toothbrushes: To each her own I guess. But I use an actual lip scrub, there are some great DIY ideas out there just search "DIY lip scrub" on Google and I'm sure you will find something. I recently discovered Sara Happ The Lip Scrub, it's a little pricey but it has become my favorite morning product.
Conceal lips if needed.
Some girls have a natural dark or deep color to their lips, if you're one of these girls try adding a little concealer to your lips to bring out your lipsticks true color.
Line your lips.
When wearing bold colors liner is a must. Liner your lips first to stop any bleeding.
Most importantly: Focus on your lips.
If you are rocking the bold lips focus on that, go light on your blush and eyes, you don't want to look like a clown. Try a brown eyeliner instead of black, or just skip eyeliner all together and wear mascara only.

I'm also currently loving bold lipsticks, i mean i'm a light pink lipstick fanatic but gosh these shades looks oh so good...i love the color on your lips and thanks for the uber helpful tips:-)
I've never thought of wearing bold lipsticks but since they're back now, I might as well try it someday :D Thanks for the tips!
I actually love bold lipsticks with bold eyes, but if you are just getting into bold lips then neutral eyes are a safe bet.
I wish I can pull off dark lippies like you do. You look sophisticated on the picture. :)
I'm playing it safe with my pink lippies.
@Minakichu, I totally get stuck in the pink lipstick phase but lately I've been trying to break free. But I still love my pinks! =)
@Dina, I know it's hard but it's fun to try something different, what's the worst that could happen?
@Cosmetics Aficionado, Girl I love to rock the bold eyes and bold lips look. I think makeup should be fun and when I go out I don't hold back. But for everyday looks like to work or school I think bold lips are acceptable if the eyes are toned down.
@Pammy Thank you. Pinks are always fun. =)
I love the color of your lipstick! Dark lippies are so chic!
