Shade Spotlight: Dark Side

Its sophisticated hue makes it a reliable go-to for evening events, photoshoots, and everyday glamour when you want a statement lip that still feels polished and wearable.
How to Use

- Apply Dark Side starting at the center of the lips and blend outward for even coverage.
- For a deeper, more opaque effect, apply a second layer after letting the first layer set briefly.
