Have you been
contemplating purchasing deep burgundy lipstick, but are still unsure about
this fall trend? I hear ya! It can be scary since dark colours will easily wash you
out or look Halloween-y if you don’t do it right.
A dark
lipstick must be chosen wisely. What suits your complexion? Plum, violet,
espresso or berry? (I still remember rocking the espresso shade in the nineties
– so forgive me if I stay far from this one.) 1. CHANEL’s
Baroque Rouge Coco Lipstick is a combination
of berry, brown and ruby. As for most dark lipsticks, be sure to add liner for
fuller coverage. 2. KATE VON D’s Painted Love in Homegirl
is a dark plum. Its matte finish will look good on you fair skinned ladies.
Since Miss Von D pretty much embodies vampy baroque, I trust her to make a sexy
dark lipstick. 3. MAKE UP FOR EVER #49 is
described as a satin blueberry. I must admit that I have a new obsession with
MUFO products. They are creamy and highly pigmented. 4. REVLON
Colourburst in Plum is a light wine
colour. It’s a good starter to test off the trend as its price point is fairly low. Remember
to exfoliate your lips before applying your lipstick since darker shades will highlight
imperfections and flakes. Be bold & Have fun!
