The Celebrity Vampy Lip Going Strong In 2014: Try This Lasting Trick!

You either adore this bold, vampy look....Or you despise it altogether. We don't like a strong, dark, bad-ass lip on us, but we have to agree, these celebs are wearing it welll!
Here's a clever beauty trick that should ease your fear of slicking on a very intense lip color  like deep, dark burgundy.

You've seen this trendy makeup look on Khloe Kardashian, Sandra, Bullock Selena Gomez, Kerry Washington, and many others. It's rather glam + high fashion when done right.

Here's what one pro makeup artist told us to try:

Wear a vampy lip and bring along blotting papers.

Yes, that's right. If you dab an oil-absorbing sheet over a deep, bold lipstick, it will deliver a pretty matte stain. It won't be so over-the-top + lipstick will stay on longer !

Try Clean & Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets (cheap at $4.67).
