I must admit, I’m not a big fan of dark lipstick…I have full lips so the darkest I usually go is red, and even that’s a bit too much for me at times, but in being a Beauty Addict you have to be willing to try new things, so I did. As stated in an earlier post on Fall Trends, plum colors are in this season, so I dropped back MAC Cosmetics this weekend and decided to try the dark lips out. I purchased lip liner in “Currant” and lipstick in “Hipster”.
Here is the result….
What do you think? It’s still growing on me.
Here are some pointers for choosing the right shade of plum lipstick.
- If you have golden, olive, or darker skin tones, choose a blue-based plum lipstick and for fair skins tones, stick to pinky purples.
- Remember to line your lips FIRST!
- Use a lip brush to apply the lipstick so it’s evenly distributed.
If you’re going to take a trip to the dark side also, I’d love to see! Send me your pics to post.
looks good to me
