Purple Lipstick

Let’s get real here: purple isn’t exactly the shade or color you’d go for if you wanted a lip color that you can sport easily but does that mean you can’t wear this gorgeous, majestic color on your lips anymore. If you’re looking for something unique to add to your makeup collection or if you’re looking for something to add to you makeup look that would help you make a statement, why not give purple lipstick a try? Here are some tips on how to wear purple lipstick in real life.

FIND A SHADE THAT COMPLEMENTS YOUR SKIN TONE – just like any other lipstick color, purple lipstick comes in a wide variation of shades so your mission, really, is not to pick one and make it work but rather to find that one shade that will look really, really good with your skin tone and rock it. Dark, vampy, purple berry colors look great on just about anyone so if you haven’t already found your perfect purple shade yet, you can stick to that for a while.

KEEP THE REST OF YOUR MAKEUP SIMPLE AND FRESH – purple lips are a statement in and of their own so it’s important that you keep the rest of your makeup simple and fresh to avoid having too much going on with your look. When wearing purple lips, opt for a neutral look for the rest of your face. It will keep your face looking bright and lively while also allowing your purple lips to take center stage without looking obnoxious.
