My quest for a Dark Lip for Fall

I think the dark lip is coming back. If you’ve seen Rihanna and her emerald lips you’ll know what I’m talking about. But now that I’m 30 ahem something I really can’t be walking around with emerald lips. It’s just not “age appropriate” so I went to one of my favorite stores Sephora to hunt down a good look for fall.
I started with a lip stain. The color was on the verge of goth. It was a little much. I’ll save you the pic.
My son had other ideas to pass the time.

I was looking to maybe us this as inspiration:

I tried a few but ended up with NARS in Charlotte. It’s a little pricey but it seems like the actual lipstick is very good.
