What I love about a statement gown like this one is that it speaks for itself. I knew I didn’t want to take away from any of the beautiful details of this black tie dress and went with a classic red lip, a defined eyebrow, and smokey eye. A good red lipsticks my go to for special occasions and this one doesn’t let me down.
