Donning green lipstick can be tricky, mostly because it's a shade that not many people are used to wearing. Therefore, it's important to make sure the look doesn't come off as jarring. One way to do that is to let the lipstick enhance your face, without overtaking it. If you're on the fence, you can try incorporating green lipstick into your go-to shade of red or pink. Because green lips are not a one-size-fits-all, blending with a regular color lipstick can tone down the bold vibes, according to makeup artist Pat McGrath.
"For me, I would basically put it on the center of a red mouth to make it more brown," McGrath told Glamour. "Mix it with a red, and then you do the whole ombré thing so it makes the mouth a little darker." Dolce & Gabbana's creative advisor also explained that there are multiple ways to ease into the daring shade. In fact, you can dab a little green lipstick on your eyelids when creating smoky eyes, if you're not ready to put it on your lips.
