Bold, dark, plum lips. Just like red, the key to rocking the darkest of lips this fall is to make it your focus. Keep eye makeup subdued and play up your puckers with different shades of plum. Need some pointers? read further bella.
1. Exfoliate and moisturize lips. Mix two drops of olive oil with a pinch of sugar, then gently scrub lips for one minute. Apply lip balm.
2. Line and fill in your lips with plum lipliner.
3. Go matte, stained, glossy, even ombre. Here are some plum lippies from my stash:
// Own purchase //
Rimmel Kate 04 is dark plum, almost black plum on lips. Check out my gothic makeup tutorial to see how it looks.
Wet n Wild Sugar Plum Fairy 908C is matte pink berry.
Wet n Wild Cherry Bomb 918D is matte dark berry.
Marc Jacobs Truth or Dare Lust for Lacquer Lip Vinyl is glossy purple berry. You can read my review here and see if it’s right for you.
Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture 26 Violine Surrealiste is glossy purple-pink stain.
